I am so discombobulated when it comes to keeping track of my tools. I have no idea why I am so good at spreading them all over my 1300 sq ft house. How do you keep track of your tools?

Home Depot sells these sweet Husky doctor bag-type tool bags that work great for small/medium sized tools. Outside pockets, inside pockets, and a 'tool wall' with more pockets in the center. Spot on the zipper for a small lock. Even has enough room to jam a Dewalt drill + battery + charger in there and you can still zip it up with some effort.
I keep one for electrical tools and one for mechanical tools, and also have some of their larger bags.
Mine has been on numerous overseas trips and the zipper hasn't even broken yet. It has outlasted I think 3 suitcases at this point.
Other than that for keeping EVERYthing organized I like Knaack's line of hinged slant-top tool boxes, but they're about $1K a pop. Awesome quality and craftsmanship though, plus a recessed lock system for security. Their carts and cabinets are also pretty damn nice, but for those you're looking at around $1200-2K depending on what you're getting.
tool story bro
(When I go on the road with my tools, I use a system that is a step down from spiffy's... cardboard box.)
I use a 5 gallon bucket for my tools.Yup, I have tools and I haven't even killed myself with them yet!!

Hmm...
Google image search... 'bucket of marital aids'.... no... nothing there that's funny and wouldn't get me banned, I'm not touching this one.![]()
I'm not married.
LOL, yes, I know, I just couldn't think of a more flowery term for the reference so as to keep things family friendly.![]()
