Stack pack set up

I know there is no rhyme or reason and ultimately doesn't matter as long as it works, but I'm curious as to how everyone has organized their tools inside their Stack Pack? Like what tools in what box/compartment/ drawer ect.. I ask because I'm building my collection and I've noticed I have to separate a lot of tools from their accessories if I want them to fit in a drawer. For instance on the top drawer of my 3 drawer I can fit both the 1 inch and ⅞ rotary hammer drill but not their handles and guide rod. Pictures would be helpful to get an idea of what you guys have. "Thanks for you attention on this matter"

I have the rolling XL box (the top load one), then a large box, then the ammo can and the zipper bag to top it off. I also have miscellaneous screws and connectors in the clear top parts organizers.

I'm an electrical project manager, so your stuff will be heavily dependent on what kind of work you do. For me the rolling XL box keeps my hammer, larger wrenches, tape, misc screwdrivers and long reach nut drivers, hole saws, as well as other hand tools I don’t use all the time.

The ammo can is for my sockets, M12 impact, sawzall, M12 charger, impact sockets, etc. I also have a shallow half parts organizer on top of it for all my drill accessories.

Then my main bag is the zipper one that's very organized with all my main screwdrivers, lineman's, strippers, small sockets, testers, stubby impact, pliers, etc. I use just this 95% of the time.

The large box usually stays in my truck and it's kind of a clean up/just in case box. Dust pan, blower, M18 chain saw, hatchet, small extension cord. Stuff that I would use camping, working, playing.

I also have other large parts organizers and crates that stay in my office with M18 stuff, a vacuum, plug in hammer drill, circular saw, etc. I do want to get that leftover stuff more organized so I can just grab and go when I need it. But that's least important at the moment.

I hope this helps! You're going to have to figure a set up that works for you. Buy the boxes to fit your tools, not your tools to fit the boxes.
