    Recently snagged a true tool chest combo. Not much, but better than my 20+ year old craftsmanbtoolbox

    I'm not very organized, so I figured I'd showcase a little work I tried with kiazan foam & get some feedback/ideas & what not (ball breaking too is fine).

    Kiazan foam is more for wood working tools, but most auto stuff can be organized with it. I still have a few drawers left to do. Andb my sockets, still have to organize & separate the repeats from the el cheapos (ace, china, off brand). Repeats come in handy, my dad's Buick ate one of my favorite craftsman 13mm sockets.

    Put little nub cut outs so it's easier to get things out, otherwise foam is gonna be torn up in short order, looks good

    Yup, thanks! I found a video of someone using a propane torch & 1/4" copper pipe to burn the pulls in

    Organized some of my wrenches. Video and pics. No media of me outlining the tools, but you'll need a marker with a long thin stem, fastcap sells it & that's where i got mine from. I had the razor blades from my window tinting days (#humble brag).
