I have a bunch of more 'delicate' tools, things like precision micro screw drivers, watch repair kit, network cabling tools, loads of small fasteners, washers, micrometer and a bunch of small stuff I use for guitar servicing and maintenance. Then there's larger bits that are used less often like sealant, chisels, wire brushes, mallets, large packs of screws.
I'll have to see what's out there, but I can see another 2 bags of different types being added.
Exactly.
For the longest time I've had job-specific tool boxes, often with duplicate basic tools in them. So a jigsaw box would have a speed square, pencils, tape measure, etc, and those things would be in other boxes.
It's worth the extra few $ for the basic things to be there. Same with precision screwdriver sets - one in my house bag, but also in my phone repair kit, one in the electronics kits, etc.
