What are you using to organize your wrench drawer?

Over the holiday break, I've been organizing my father's garage. Wanted to reach out to the forum to see what type of tool box drawer organizers are being used. It seems like all the tools cannot fit back in the drawers once I start organizing them. I performed a search on Google for wrench organizers and one from Harbor Freight came up with decent reviews. The tool box is an 70s/80s Craftsman tool chest, so the drawers where the wrenches are currently is not super deep.

Any drawer recommendations for screwdrivers?

Google "screwdriver organizer" and there are a lot of options.
Haven't done that with them yet, but have a wire-style one from HF for pliers that's good for shallow drawers.
For sockets, I have the metal clip-type and the plastic square-nub type; the clips seem to hold better as far as tall sockets tipping over.

Screwdriver organizer
Pliers organizer
Wrench organizer
Socket organizer, might be too tall though.

I have a very similar socket organizer to the one Sniper posted, just bigger. Holds all my SAE & metric sockets, 1/4, 3/8, & 1/2. I also have an almost identical set of wrench organizers. Screwdrivers are just lined up small to large in their own drawer & the same with pliers.

My wife used to tell me I was OCD because I did that. I told her I didn't think so since for me to make money, it made sense for my tools to be organized so I could open a drawer and grab what I needed, not spend several minutes pawing through tools looking for one particular one.

I shadow everything...

Snipers pic 3 is similar to what I use for the wrenches. Screwdrivers similar to the foam cut out below snipers psot. BTW you can buy an athletic mat at wally worls prtty cheap and they work well

my wrenches hang on a pegboard pins behind my tool box

I'd show you pictures of mine...but I need time to tidy them up

I keep it simple.

One drawer for up to 3/4"

One drawer for those larger that 3/4"

One drawer that very rarely gets opened for metric.

My screwdriver drawer has them randomly thrown in there. My socket drawers mainly have those plastic socket trays with the pegs altho my drawers are too shallow for a lot of of them so like the screw drivers they are thrown in there.

What I don't get is howcome those plastic wrench holders cost so much???

My memory possibly !

I do this too. Old habit leftover from my flight line days. It's not very space efficient, though--can't fit as much in the drawers this way But it's easy to find things and easy to know if something is missing...

I have some Hansen socket organizers, but most of my racks are no name stuff from discount stores.

A 2 x 4 about 3 ft long and long finish nails hold my wrenches. Its mounted on the wall.

I envy you guys that have enough tool box to do so,my draws are just packed with what they are,,screwdrivers,wrenches,ratchets etc.The the only one with some order are the sockets.

I bought a new tool box for my car trailer, as I was tired of loading and unloading tools from my garage to go racing. Menards has a bunch of good tool organizing stuff, and even WalMart has stuff. I used a kitchen drawer organizer for some stuff.

That looks nice, Jeff. That's more tools than I could find in your shop!

When have you ever had to look for tools at my place??? You know for a fact, trying to locate a pair of Vice Grips at my place isn't a problem. LOL.

That means you need a bigger tool box...

check garage journal dot com for nearly endless ideas on this. So much that I don't have time for any of them....

If you were going to tote half of that vise grip collection in your trailer, you'd need to add another axle!

I use entropy myself.

Nice thing about entropy is that it's always waiting there for you.

I have a reall hodge-podge of wrenches, different brands ect. I have my drawer split into 5 areas with two peices sheetmetal bent into a wide-flat 'U' (or a 'C' channel...). I put everything smaller than 3/8 in the left side, everything larger than 7/8 on the right side. The middle three are split with three different sizes in each area, all are VERY easy to pick apart when you're searching.



This'll sound a little dumb, but after you use it a while it works really easy.

I have a few vice grips too.

Damn 500carDude .... if that’s an indicator of jsta yur clamps ....you NEED that Orlando Snapon collection fur all your tools !

my tool storage........

Nice n neat, Moparx . I got a big chuckle out of your sign too

you can thank my brother for that sign.

Somehow me thimks that butt crack Bobs BETTER HALF had lots to do with that wrench organization...

I have a Plastic Box with some Husky Tools I keep in the trunk and or use at the U-Pull-It added some things so is really an emergency kit it works OK to keep things in place as it has a compartment for loose stuff I added.
I have the largest stuff picked up in cabinets in sections like auto body, etc. Have boxes dedicated for things like Die Grinder and Sand Paper Rolls bottom is buffing wheels and compounds
The main toolbox is neatly done so I can find stuff

I could only fit a 30 inch wide box in the recessed part of the garage so i got the best one i cpuld find and got 3 tiers hight so is tall.

My wrench drawer organized by the pawn shop & is easy to find the right size just at a glance.
3/8” is an old 70’s craftsman wrench
7/16” is a pretty new Snap-On wrench
1/2” is a new chrome Craftsman wrench
9/16” is a BlackHawk wrench
5/8” is a Proto wrench
etc.....
