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

Open-end wrenches hanging on nails?


Two nails close together such that the wrench-end doesn't fall though,
I'd assume (I remember my dad always used to store chisels and
screwdrivers like that)

Whatever I do seems to be doomed because I end up with stuff split
between garage / workshop / house / car... I really need four sets of
everything :-)

I keep a few sets of tools. Good tools in the garage and shop. A cheap
set of tools in the house and car. I figure that a cheap set in the car
may get used once in an emergency situation, as such it doesn't need to
be a high end set with all the polish.
The set in the house doesn't have a lot of extra stuff, just tools that
would be used in the house.

Now the Garage and shop tools, those are high end stuff. The shop is
mainly Snap-On, SK and OLD Proto.
The garage set is MAC and Snap-On.
