I believe Ernst says that a 1" wrench will fit in a 2" drawer.

OOPS. I posted this on the wrong thread. Meant to direct you to this thread and post this there:

The ones at Lowe's are better than the Ernst, but not the same as the Snap-on. The Snap-on is uniform in size front to back. Everyone else seems to graduate the size, which might work if they knew exactly how many wrenches I have and how I want to organize them. The simple design is the best for most situations, although $16.50 is ridiculous for a pair. Oh well, I bought some and am buying some more so that I can arrange my tools the way I want. There is a reason they have been selling these for 40 plus years. They are not "new and improved". They just work.
Btw, I did buy one pair of the set for larger wrenches. I decided to keep everything from 15/16 in one of the really shallow drawers on the new 26" tool box. Here are pics. As you can see, I was able to get all the Snap-on and Mac, from 1/4 to 15/16, along with a set of Snap-on flare nut wrenches (with one Bonney) a set of Snap-on stubbies, 5/16 to 3/4, and a little package of midget wrenches all in one shallow drawer. I have larger wrenches that will go in the deeper drawer below.
