I have your typical set of metric and english combination box/open-end
wrench sets in various drawers in my toolbox.
But they're all jumbled about such that it takes longer than I'd like to
grab a certain size or a sequence of certain sizes.
How do you store your combination wrenches so that they are easy to access?
First I keep the metrics separate from the SAE including sockets and hex
keys. In my case, a separate drawer. Next I stack 2 together with the
largest in the rear and smallest in the front. Lastly, don't slam the
drawer. Eventually a tool box needs to be tidied up once in a while.
A rubber mat in the bottom of the tool drawer helps to keep them from
sliding around. I found that the rubber mats for kitchen cabinets with
the holes in it to work good in a tool box. You can even glue them in.
If you hang your tools then it's a no brainer.
