That strategy only works if you keep that new tool box on the counter near those kitchen drawers. If you put the tool box in the garage or workroom, then you've just recreated the initial problem.That's looked liked my middle kitchen drawer yesterday.
Today I cleaned out two kitchen drawers and removed all of my quick to grab hand tools and placed them in a new Craftsman Tool Box from Lowes.
I hope, I can find my quick to grab hand tools tomorrow. LOL
I'm going to try to keep the new tool box in the utility room near the kitchen. LOLThat strategy only works if you keep that new tool box on the counter near those kitchen drawers. If you put the tool box in the garage or workroom, then you've just recreated the initial problem.

We have a detached garage, so it's a hassle to keep running back and forth to the garage. So I generate "temporary" tool collection zones, generally somewhere near the kitchen. Then at some point DW let's me know that it's overdue to get the tools out of what is primarily one of her areas. So they go out to the garage.
I have had some success using 5 gallon pails as tool storage areas. When I have a project going on, I will stash the tools I'm using (or plan to use) in the pail, then I just grab the pail and I have an assortment of tools at hand.
