So here are the details:
I was looking for a way to organize my tool box, which is a medium sized ammo can. I like these because they are very strong, air/water tight, fit nicely under my sleeping platform/cargo divider, and can be used for other things besides a tool box.
My original idea was to make boxes that fit inside the ammo can so I could organize my sockets and wrenches, plus other tools and supplies. Making the boxes would be time consuming.
I found that I could fit, with a little room to spare, 4 of these: http://www.planomolding.com/product....ID=138&PID=745
I went to Bass Pro Shop to look around and they happened to have a 4 pack of those (or very similar) for ~$18. Price was good enough for me!
I set about organizing my sockets first. I knew I would have to leave a couple out of this particular box, and that was OK. I managed to fit all but a couple, but still had to cut some dividers out. Apparently my right hand was angry at my left, and I slipped with the knife and nearly took the tip of my left index finger off. It bled pretty bad and is still pretty sore, though not bad enough for stitches.
Sockets:
Some sockets are stacked inside other sockets, but the fit is pretty good!
Next I moved on to the wrenches:
I decided to stop carrying 2 complete sets of wrenches, and chose to adopt my ratcheting set in metric and SAE as my vehicle set. You can also see the few spill over sockets. The black deep socket may return to my home tool box. I still have space in this box for a few other specialty tools.
All the cases fit nicely in the ammo can:
I will be adding some foam to the bottom and sides to make the fit a bit tighter and hopefully prevent the plastic cases from breaking.
I also still have to figure out what else to put into the other two cases! So far I have consolidated 3 small boxes worth of tools into 2 efficient cases.
