Default Suggestions from your experience organizing metric & english combination box/open end wrench sets?

A little spray paint to denote metric or standard?

I agree. I have used nail polish for that purpose


I already have the metrics with blue tape and the american with white tape
so I can easily tell them apart. Plus I put metric & english in separate
drawers.

The problem is in any one drawer, I must have twenty or more wrenches that
I'd like to be kept organized better - and I'm still checking out your
ideas for doing that. Right now they're all a jumble of sizes.

If only the original Craftsman box was usable for storage, as they were
separated when they were bought but there are multiple sets bought by now
and that Craftsman box was easily broken plastic.

I'll look for drawer organizers.
