I wonder if we have any laying around our shop? We use it for our tools here. I might have to rape some and fill up the old Craftsman box.

While that is pretty cool, I like to have flexibility with what I put in which drawers depending on where I'm going, since one roller will stay in the garage full time and the other with topchest will go back and forth into a trailer and to the track, etc etc.

For some of the simpler drawers like the one with all the pliers, maybe I will do that though.

CEO...our drawers look the same. My wife was seriously annoyed that I took that much time and effort to lay my tools out like that.
