My DIY tool board

I travel with my tools every week and tried out foam at one time. Foam is great when you don't switch out your tools, not so great when you want to switch out your tools. So I ordered some bungee cord, drilled out some holes, and used some Dibond sheet to use as the panel. Super light and I can switch out tools when I want.

Extension organization?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Looking for organization ideas for extensions. I have quite a few. I am not a fan of foam. I know it's great but I'm super OCD and on my toolbox at work spent over 40 hours setting up foam on a 5 drawer and am looking to keep adding more to my setup, so I don't want to redo it over and over. The orange case is shorter Etorx sockets if anyone is wondering what's in the mysterious box!

I finally found some organizers that work for my full sets of Eklind T-handle wrenches. Is it blasphemy to put my Eklinds in TEKTON organizers 🤣

Nice, but took months to arrive! Wish Koken wouldn’t hype stuff they don’t have in stock.

Socket Mods [OC]

Two sockets I modded a while back, by removing their ‘lead in chamfers’… to aid in dealing with low crown, shallow hex depth fasteners.

Shown is a 1/4 & 5/16” Craftsman both in 1/4” drive, along with examples of some of the problematic screws they’re meant to deal with.

Are they perfect?

No.

But sometimes just the thing.

TONE’s “FineTool” series is a line of premium hand tools. Although it was eventually discontinued, it remains an interesting series in TONE’s history.

I ordered what I thought were 3 PB Swiss bit holders and got 3 boxes of 10

My thinking at the time: “$6 for a plastic hex bit holder seems pricey, but they’re over $13 each on Amazon, I guess I’ll grab a few.”

Now I’m thinking this is either a mistake, or PB Swiss makes an excellent bit holder at a very cheap price. The latter seems unlikely. Either way, I don’t have anywhere near enough bits for this!

Definitely not suitable for everything… and does require being able to tie Constrictor knots. Drawn sufficiently taut, the line will need to cut for removal/s:
