    The spray bomb handle is the balls especially if you are getting RA in your hands ! The sander uses 5 inch Velcro paper.

    Interesting way of organizing wrenches, I can honestly say I've never seen that.

    To be honest I would find that incredibly irritating. The measurements would only be useful if I measured every fastener, which sounds tedious.

    I have two wrench drawers, but it's easy to find the next size up of each. I have two screwdrivers drawers too. Beats rummaging through a stack for me.

    Different organization makes sense to different people, it keeps life interesting.

    The measurements simply let me see how much bigger/smaller the next size wrench is. I never have to actually measure any bolt . In some cases the Metric is only a few thousandths different than the Standard wrench, so I may want to go two wrenches in size. Other times, production tolerances may have a nut that feels loose in a wrench and the Metric may fit better. Honestly, I think if some savvy tool company started making something like this it would become popular........but I'm biased. Once the pegboard was made, I've never wanted to go back to the old way. If I'm walking across my shop to get a different wrench to fit an unknown bolt, I don't have to guess what size(s) are close to the wrong wrench I have in my hand. I just grab the next two (bigger/smaller) wrenches . One will probably be a Standard and one will be a Metric and 99% of the time one of them fits the unknown bolt. I don't have to figure out what Metric wrench is the next size.
    Easy Peasy. I think if you ever tried it, you'd appreciate the simplicity. :)

    Reorganizing and changing the long-term placement of tools can be a fool's errand. I know it was for me because I did it. Sounded like a really good idea to swap my end wrenches from the not quite big enough bottom drawer of my tool chest down 2" to the top drawer of my rollaway. Nice edge organizers, beautiful orderly presentation. Freedom units on the left and lost the war units on the right.

    In the last few years I've opened the wrong drawer way too many times to count.
