I've got a nice big kitbag full of tools that I dump in the boot of my track car - everything I need to do every job up to gearbox removal. No pictures though, because it just looks like a bag.

I also have a couple of A4 sized "wallets" one for spanners/sockets and the other for random useful tools that I used to use professionally.

Everthing else is hung off a nail in the garage.

No pictures because I've never thought for a second anyone would want to see them.

I have that exact set up, for the money it does a FINE job. I went on ebay to get some nice soft cloth to line the draws with, the mounts for socket sets to try and keep them organised and a selection of plastic trays/dividers.

Judging from the laptop bag, the modem/router/switch looking thing, the rackmount thing underneath and the network labelled boxes in the back, i'm guessing network engineer/tech support for a place with loads of remote sites, possibly an ISP/network provider

Fairly close to the mark actually. Cyberprog (My company) does amongst many things Web Hosting and IT Consultancy. This extends to network engineering (physical cabling), CCTV, Alarms (mainly consultancy here though due to Insurance requirements), and Electrics.
I also work for events companies and have been involved with a Generator Hire business previously, and do site power on a freelance basis. There's very little that I don't do that's electronic these days

One of your screwdrivers is not in it's correct place when sorted by size.

They're sorted by flat head vs pozi actually And Allen keys/torx stuff is in a drawer and the T-Handle ones are on the magnets in the box lid.

I've got the halfords toobox and for 60 quid it's a pretty good buy, not very big though, i'll try and snap a pic at some point.

Picked mine up earlier really good actually, nice number of useable draws, so everything is well sorted.

just need to grab some draw liners, and a spanner rack - the only problem is that i doubt a 1'1/2 spanner will fit in one of those and a draw.

I was going to get a tool box, but something i can wheel around and has a top to throw sockets in whie changing forwards and back is handy... much better than when they roll under the car!

I also got a £10 voucher, so I will be going back to spend some moolah, any ideas?

But yes, I thought we could do with a man stuff, garage, cool stuff thread, plus it can give people ideas on what people out there have.

Pics to follow
