Leonard you are correct that you can tell what is missing in an instant. Makes it easy to get what you want quickly too. <br /><br />Might take a shot of my socket organization in the top of my box also. With 40 years of hard use it's not real pretty but still works very well.Titan Mk6Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-90715953079360110182018-05-13T23:46:36.400-07:002018-05-13T23:46:36.400-07:00 Meh !

A mechanic at a boat repair shop may have been the first<br />person grasp the concept. He took a peice of premium hardwood,<br />sanded it, routed the edges, stained and varnished it and fastened<br />a custom handle in the middle. It was a work of art! In my dads<br />day, a socket organizer was a tote tray or the metal boxes the<br />sockets or socket sets were shipped in.<br /><br /><br /> Leonard Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-71646222877925766862018-05-13T17:01:28.905-07:002018-05-13T17:01:28.905-07:00I use several of the kind of wrench organizers sho...I use several of the kind of wrench organizers shown in this photo,<br />Earnst modular shelf dividers, and Earnst Socket Bosses and socket<br />rails. I usually grab all the iron I need to do a job and when<br />finished, clean them up and put them back. Hunting for tools<br />is a bummer, but there is another reason having ogranizers.<br /><br />You get to see if any tools are missing at a glance. The greatest<br />missing tool story in my life was after helping a fellow mechanic<br />rebuild a small Ingersoll Rand compressor and having him bitch<br />about my losing one of his pliers for an entire year.<br /><br />We went back a year later to work on the same compressor. Sure <br />enough, Herman's needle nose pliers were at the bottom of the<br />crankcase. I just smiled!<br /><br />I'll take a wide angle shot of my socket shelf (56"x24") under the<br />lid of my top box. With the next post on tool organization, I will<br />post it and copy the image on this Blog. I am sure that CW will<br />cream his jeans. Here is a link to eBay list of Earnst socket<br />organizers:<br /><br /> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ernst+socket+rail&ul_noapp=true<br /><br />Leonard Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-77567228062860626752018-05-13T16:15:11.472-07:002018-05-13T16:15:11.472-07:00My wrench drawer looks like that maybe twice a yea...My wrench drawer looks like that maybe twice a year.....for about 20 minutes each. <br /><br />THen I fix something and the symmetry and organization goes to hell again.
