Organizing Tools

Guys, I need some ideas for how to organize small hand tools on my bench. What do you use? Is it fancy or just a bin or drawer?

I would like a free standing rotating organizer with spaces for small screwdrivers, brushes, tuning tools, etc.

Any Thoughts?

Tools I use all the time (screw drivers, torx drivers, flush cutters, etc) are in a rack on the back wall. Top drawer has plywood dividers for test leads. Next drawer is for the Bird and it's slugs. Bottom drawer are the socket sets. The idea is to keep the most frequently used closest.

PS - if you have a favorite beverage at the bench, invest in a cup holder, screw it down and learn to use it!

On the front edge of my bench I mounted two magnetic tool-holder strips. That way, when I'm working on something, i can just stick the driver,cutter, crimper or whatever on that instead of taking up valuable real estate on the bench. It also helps to catch those run-away screws and such.
