Stanley Tool Organiser

I’ve had a lot of tool boxes, and bits-boxes over the years, but I’ve recently picked one up which to my mind is the most awesome combination of both -- especially if your tools are a little more sophisticated and precise than a hammer or hacksaw.

Screw drivers, the multimeter, perhaps the Dremel, the network test equipment and maybe a crimper or two, some plugs, a little heat-shrink, and most importantly: cable ties. If this sort of stuff is your bag, then this just might be your box.

After dremeling out a couple of the fixed compartments so I could fit one or two of my larger items into the “tools” side, I’m thoroughly in love with it. Stanley make some awesome stuff, and a lot of thought has gone into the shape and design of this thing.

Once closed, its roughly the shape and size of a turn-of-the-century medical bag, and will fit just about anywhere, as well as being a dozen times more portable than your average tool box.

I still have my old tool box, which contains my more low-brow equipment now, but this thing has allowed me to merge 4 cases worth of crap into one, and with me, the only way to stay organised is to keep things simple. I love it.

If I were as cool as Oprah, I’d have a Favourite Things section.
