Things like this is part of the reason why my shops are always cluttered and my work flow never matches my targets...
Friday the 13th was lucky for a garage sale stop. Bought this Stack-On tool box and base cabinet along with all contents for $40. The empty units are worth the $40. This shot is with the top open along with the 3 small drawers on the chest open and the top drawer of the base. Fairly normal collection of odds and ends. The left small drawer is packed with around 50 drill bits. The center small drawer is full of drill driver bits. The right side small drawer has "stuff" in it.

This shows the second drawer down on the chest and the second drawer down on the base. We did some counting and the drawer of sockets is maybe just over 400 sockets. Lots of small sockets. Many are cheap socket sets but quite a few are Craftsman, Crescent , Stanley etc. Quite a few specialty items in there.

This shot shows the 3rd drawer down on each... Lots of cheap wrenches but also lots of good high quality stuff too. Craftsman, Crescent, Stanley, some Snap-On, Williams, S-K, etc.

This is the last drawer in the upper chest full of screwdrivers and some nut-drivers etc.

I think Diana was almost as excited as I was. She knows a bargain when she sees one. Here she is sorting through stuff.
