For years I've been rummaging in the bottom of boxes, then not tidying up at the end of the day because its so much hassle to get all the stuff out again, and suffering the ire of SWMBO ! I've finally realised the answer. Tool Rolls. Not just one for the screwdrivers etc, but multiple tool rolls. Easy to find the stuff, easy to put away !
This is at present only theory but I'm convinced its the answer. I'll even have some variation on the theme for drill bits. And I can imagine a big one with tubes of sealant in and a sealant gun. I reckon about 10 tool rolls covering the basics, possibly with some duplication, such as small pliers in the electrical category.
Anyway, for now I've got to get the boxes back into the shed before we have visitors at the weekend ! Simon.
