This is a easy and cheap project to organize your tools with just cardboard and duct tape, this instruction will show how, just repeat for different groups of tools as needed.

Gather your materials:

 3. Vinyl tape optional - your choice of color.

Gather Materials:

 4. Square.

 1. Measure available area (area of drawer (Length x Width x Height)).
 2. Layout tools organizing (add 1/8 inch or cardboard thickness to socket end for clearance - to remove & place tool).

 Note: If more than one tool group per drawer, layout options to fit all as needed. alway allow for small addition if possiable
           (build for change).
