If you’re like most people, your tool box is a mess of tools, screws and other bits and bobs. If it takes you at least five minutes to find the socket, drill bit or set or pliers you need every time you go searching, then read on because for a time, we were just like you. Tool boxes are one of the hardest things in the home to keep organized due to their very nature. They are built to hold an array of small items, and really the only way to keep tool boxes tidy is to invest in built-for-purpose...
