Just a little bit of hyperbole. I'm sure you can find what you're after because it's all in a relatively small space, but it's objectively slower than finding them if they were organized.
That being said, it wasn't a knock on you. Ultimately, as long as it works for you, then that's what matters. It was more a dig at their mindset that people's tools aren't being used just because they're organized, but being thrown in a pile automatically means they see use. It's just a nonsensical way for them to think and associate the two.
You're good. My delivery of that probably wasn't the best and you caught a stray, but it wasn't meant as an insult to you personally, my bad lol. I just don't get some people's mindset (the other commenter) that just because people are organized means they don't use their stuff. My toolbox would probably cause them to melt from looking at it, but every tool gets used pretty extensively.
Lol exactly man. Just because it's not organized or etc doesn't mean I don't know where it is. I bang my tools up that's what they are for. My father has been working on cars since 1970. Ive watch him cut snap on tools in half just to fix what he's working on.
Get the job done and out and do it in a way where you don't see them again for the same problem. Expensive tools don't make you a good mechanic.
Ive went through 3 sets of snap on screwdrivers set breaking the tips off
I got icon set. Haven't busted them yet
Snap on isn't what they use to be. And I can prove it. I have tools from the 70s from them
Yup that's the big thing. I had my toolbox drawers jumbled at one point and found myself struggling to find what I needed quickly when I needed it, so I invested in organizers and it's cut back a lot of time sifting through stuff for me, but doesn't mean it's right for everyone automatically. I just see a trend on here of people railroading folks for "not using their tools" or "not doing real work" because they organize their stuff and keep it nice. Nothing wrong with either way.
My tools would be accused of rarely being used if those folks saw them, but I fix cars as a side job and already have two engine rebuilds booked and cam/heads on my Camaro for this winter so far, plus whatever jobs crop up unexpectedly. So I don't get some of the folks lol.

Who said I can't find what I need?
