How do you organize your pliers in your toolbox?

[Opelman]

Step 1 locate and open the proper drawer.
Step 2 let gravity take over.
Step 3 close drawer.

In a pile that still allows the drawer to close.

I have this plastic divider that helps a bit with the smaller pliers. The rest are sort of organized based on how often I use them. It works, I guess. Also, I have a lot of redundancy in that drawer.

Never works like that. It always closes on one handle.

Main plier drawer is all Ernst, they work best for “normal” pliers that are mostly a standard width.

Overflow plier and small hammers drawer is gearwrench dividers, they are adjustable which works well for the really wide specialty stuff.

And I put a gearwrench one in my electrical drawer for crimpers, strippers, etc.

See my drawers are shallow, so if you throw them in like that, the drawer won't close properly unless it's all layed down.

Clearly you're not kicking it hard enough. Just sayin.

It's just a husky tool box from HD. It's not going to handle that lol

Been collecting for a few years. Have some duplication after various sets. Just got this setup. Nice to know where things are.

I already have a Kennedy roller cabinet with riser and top box, and another side cabinet on wheels. If I were to organize all my pliers/cutters, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc., at neatly as I'd like, I'd have to buy another full roller cabinet and top box. The only thing super organized are my sockets in socket organizer trays so I can find the size I want quickly and see if any are missing.

I have a 3 piece Kennedy as well - if I was to organize it - prolly wouldn’t work from the plastic Husky box in the Jeep

Fancy tool box arrangement of some tools is a huge waste of space. It looks real cute, but just not practical for me anyway.

my pliers were well used and are not playthings, when working (now retired) used a tool pouch with hand-picked tools with a shoulder strap,, my box on wheels very organized and well equipped too.
