Where do you guys store your tools?

Here's my box.

Some basic EDC stuff in the lid...

Open it up to see the important stuff...

Sheaths, sharpener, and maintenance stuff below...

A few MT's are usually camping out on my "corner shelf" by the front door...

And (last but certainly not least) my poor beater Kick lives in this cow-dirt covered sheath hanging from my farm jeans. It has a clip, but I keep it in the sheath so that it won't ever end up in the cow barn gutter. (I'd sooner part with it than dig it out of there!) And I thought I abused this tool when I did construction...

The SURGE!!! in the tacklebox looks well used!

And here I thought I was the only one who used a tackle box!

Actually it's still prety new... I have been playing with it quite a bit thouhg.

And here I thought I was the only one who used a tackle box!

What! They told me this was a tool box.

I think the only difference between a tackle and tool box is the tackle box costs 20% more!

Whew, then I must have gotten the tool box... This was about the cheapest box I could find at Lowes! I'd hate to be storing tools where tackles are suposed to be.

I dunno, you should see how well fish bite on a Climber!  Or, if you use a Fisherman or Angler model SAK, they are already cleaned by the time you reel them in!

Sometimes my pockets, or a tool pouch hanging off my belt. But generally, the Swisstool RS in my 1993 Ford Ranger, the Spirit S in my 2000 Dodge Ram, my wife's 1995 Volvo gets nothing ...... MUWAHAHAHA! For my wrenches, sockets, etc, I have about 4 tool boxes that get moved around to different projects I'm working on along with my garage that houses stuff like my power tools.

I have pocket knives, mostly SAK's in drawers all over the place along as in my trucks. My wife's Volvo actually gets a SAK (but nothing else).

Put it this way, I'm probably never more than a foot or two away from a tool of some sort when I'm at home. And I always have a SAK in my pocket, always.

Guess I should have just said everywhere. LOL!

Actually to be honest, unless you're buck naked standing in a field, you have tools all around you and on you.
I was walking my dog a couple months ago and started counting how many "tools" I carry, and how many of them I couldn't live without.

Example: clothes are tools to shield you from climate and conform to social norms; shoes explain themselves, a belt keeps your pants from falling and if you're like me is occasionally used to help haul a heavy object; glasses, even a dog leash.

But back on the subject, I have tools all over the place, in two states. Many are strategically placed (ever seen the second season of Rome? ) but many are also in the wrong place and/or state. Often my tools are so strategically placed that I can no longer find them. I suppose however that that might be a good strategy, because afterall what better way to convince the wife that a game can be watched than to not be able to find the appropriate tool for a job?
