Craftsman chest - for the top of my rolling cart. I have been looking for some time as I need to organize my tools a little better. Got a very good deal($50)
It looks like this except that it has three drawers (all full length) + the opening top.
I bought it primarily for wrenches and sockets. Currently I have one drawer for all my sockets. One drawer for all my SAE wrenches and a section of a drawer for my Metric wrenches. I want a drawer for each set of wrenches (SAE and Metric) and one drawer for all sockets is fine.
Here is my question, based on your experience am I better to use the drawer for sockets or the opening lid? For you who have this setup, does the lid stay open? what do you keep there? Part of me thinks - keep the open top for safety glasses, lube, thread locker etc. etc. and the other three drawers for the sockets and wrenches. Another part thinks use the top for sockets, next two for wrenches and the last drawer for pliers etc.
Perhaps this is a silly question but I really don't want to sort everything more than once and I suspect that common storage habits emerge.
any thoughts?
