Sure a big block of wood with drills in it represents first order Retrieve-ability, but a drawer with slots for each drill is a nicer type of first order Retrieve-ability....

I just bought the lower Hout box for my fractional reduced shank drills. The top one is fractional jobber drills.

Goodbye to another block of wood on a shelf! Lol!
 
My nuts, washers, bolts, and screws have been stored in my garage on my work bench. I decided that I wanted to use a much smaller area by going vertical with my bolt storage.

I built this 7 ft tall shelf specially designed around the Walmart Hyper-Tough 20 drawer small parts storage organizer. The shelf is based off the width of a 2x8 so it's not deep at all. I've got two more organizers to fill out the remaining shelves.

The wall to the left in the picture will have one of these louvre bin hangers on it full of small bins to hold my nuts, washers, and bolts. https://a.co/d/cOqT5Yv

I'll put up a piece of osb to screw the louvre panels to.

Then all I need is another shelf for a couple more organizers and all my bolts will be in my shop taking up much less space.
 
Ready for my louvred wall panel. The manufacturer says it will hold 128 small bins. I'm limiting it to small bins to avoid stress on the wall.
