Mine sure doesn't.

You would cringe if you saw mine right now.

Now my brother who is a mechanic looks like that. His statement "every tool has its place!"

You can get way more tools in the box without the fancy organizers.

Friends that work in aircraft have boxes that look like that.

At the end of the day they have to account for every tool.

Well, almost.

But it doesn't explain why I have to clean the garage to find a quarter inch ratchet used for "only a minute" 6 months ago or why a Philips screwdriver is never around when you need it.

i have "notes" in different places in the garage where tools have "disappeared" into the piles of "stuff" when dropped while around said piles of "stuff".
that way, one of these days i will be moving these piles and the "notes" will help remind me to be on the lookout for the tool that "disappeared" in that particular pile !

Pretty much, yeah.
Mentored by guys from the Indy car world, who are fanatics about that.
Plus I HATE searching for things !

Here is my socket drawer. Not quite as neat but good enough for me.

This! I have 3 large boxes and a 4 drawer roll cart along with 2 open roll carts and still need more room. No place for fancy organizers. I do however know where most tools are, or at least a good idea of where it is.

I keep my tools in an organized drawers without special trays. When you work 100% flat-rate you need to know where your tools are at all times so you don't waste precious clock time trying to find a wrench. I work with a couple of younger techs with tools scattered everywhere. Now my home toolbox is a little less organized but I have specialized boxes at home, one for transmission work, carb and tuning , and engine work including valve spring compressors ,compression testers ,torque wrenches etc...

I've parted out hundreds of car, I have filled a tool box with all the tools I have found in them...LOL

I'm not anywhere near that organized, but I do have a pretty simple method for keeping track of my tools. They are somewhat laid out in each drawer by size. When I put them back in the box and lay them in order....
When I was working on other peoples stuff, I was very good at making sure everything was back in the box where it belonged. I didn't loose many tools that way. Now that I'm retired and working on my own junk, I'm not so fanatic about putting the tools away at the end of the day, it more like once a week these days. I do have a place on my bench I pile the tools between the days they get put away. If I'm working on a specific area and I didn't get done at the end of the day, I will leave the tools at that location for the next time.

I wish I had the discipline to be that organized, but I do not!

Don't feel bad, I'm pretty OCD, really bad but that is not an excuse to be that anal about tools. It works for me, you get used to it.
Now buddy Wayne, no can't do that, 12,000 sq/ft shop and can't find anything? Nope. I at least put stuff back when I'm done.

Absolutely. In the Air Force, if your end product ends up on the flightline, every tool box is shadowed, every tool has its specific inventory number, every box has an inventory sheet, and every box is inventoried before and after every job. If you're a back shop, at the beginning and end of every shift. Jet engines are like very expensive vacuum cleaners. Sucked up random objects (like misplaced tools) play havoc on them, and they're very expensive to fix. Almost weekly (sometimes more often) an AF flightline gets shut down for a "lost object"...and a "lost object reports" go straight to the maintenance commander (colonel). They're normally lacking in the sense of humor department. I would hope similarly strict standards are held at civilian airports.

EDIT: I didn't intend to be vague when I said the "flightline gets shut down." That means NOTHING moves until THAT tool is found (or the commander deems that all leaves have been turned). Flight hours lost, flight training for the day is disrupted....a very big deal. The sole mission of the Air Force in peacetime is to prepare for war...and a lost object brings it all to a halt..

I am super familiar with mechanical objects. That is why I don't fly unless it's absolutely necessary.
I also will not drive next to a semi truck..

Most my tool drawers are kept organized , except the screw driver area .. ..never found a good way to keep them organized

Yes and no.

On the upside: comes in handy in the boneyard - never lost a tool there. I also always know exactly where whatever I need is. Spare parts too.

On the downside: I spend entirely too much time picking up the tool I just used and then getting it out again later. I also spend way too much time looking for that one tool than landed in the wrong drawer.

My tool boxes aren't wide or deep enough to hold trays. One box is buy only holds one tray. Had I bought the wider box I could have got two in but the box I bought was on a black friday sale and with my additional discount was more then half off so it was a no brainer. I do have some socket organizers for shallow sockets and the deep ones end up rolling around. I still have to get some wrench organizers but they're usually over priced. So as long as my tools hit the right drawer going back in it's usually not a problem finding them.
