Picked up some really nice trays at the dollar tree to get a handle on my organizational shortcomings lol. Im definitely going back for more. Theyre pretty thick plastic and rubber lined. For $1 a piece i am extremely happy.

That's a great idea, better than the mats that bunch up against the back of the drawers all the time!

My son came over to help me get that damned Eclipse timing belt right. I looked at the tools he brought over - man he likes limp tools, almost everything has a swivel, LOL. Anyway it runs - I'm gonna put it up for sale tomorrow.

They sure are.

Those long DBE flex head ratcheting wrenches look handy as hell. Ive been wanting a set lol. Swivel/flex head/wobble tools are the bees knees in general.

I went to our local Dollar General, they didn't have doodley squat, so I went to Wally's World (18 miles away), the only black trays they had were Rubber Maid for ~$7 ea. So I bought 3 white sets of 6 for $6 ea and splurged on a wire mesh tray for $12. Started working on it yesterday until it got up to 105* inside my shop. I will be needing a bunch more before I get done, lol.

I asked my wife if there's a Dollar Tree near by, she said near Wall Mart, duh! I think she knows where every store is in a 25 mile radius, lol. Anyway, I went there and all they had was some really cheap colored plastic tray 3/$1. I don't think they'd last a month. You must live in a higher rent district, ha ha. So I went back to WM and cleaned them out of the white tray sets, 3 left.

Then she went out to her storage shed in back and brought out some of her stash, she doesn't throw anything away.

This is awesome. However, I think you might be missing a tape measure or 2 [emoji23]
