This forum has inspired me to get better organized with my wrench and antique tool collection. For the past week, I've been spending a little time each day pulling wrenches from totes...and sometimes, much to my wife's displeasure, from places like the trunk of the car, the desk drawer, and one or two in the kitchen.
I'd like to know how you organize and store your tools.
You see, I've been a collector of wrenches for quite some time now. I've been attending auctions for years, and buying odd lots of tools. At one point, I decided that some of this stuff was too cool to part with, so I began pulling stuff and keeping it . Most of what I have is in storage bins, or a few tool box drawers that state "Tools that I thought were cool".
So, how do you do it?
Do you have them sorted by make? By manufacturer?
If you collect auto wrenches, do you store them separately from the farm wrenches?
What if you have a wrench made by Vlchek for a Jeep tool kit? Do you put it in with the Vlchek wrenches or with Jeep tools?
What do you do with your favorite wrenches? Do they have a special place?
What kind of containers do you use? Bins? Tool chests? Tool boxes?
Any help you can offer is really appreciated!!!!
