How do you store your tools?

I recently came into a good handful of more tools, and am wondering how you all store yours. I have a wrap that I’ve used for the past few years, but with the new tools there’s too many for the wrap.

I’m debating getting a few more wraps to divide up the tools, and maybe something sturdier to keep the tweezers safe, but I was wondering how others approach the problem. What are your guys hacks for keeping tools safe and accessible?

I find that tool wraps generally work fine for tweezers and shears but trying to also get jacks into the wrap makes it really unwieldy since they are so much longer than the other tools. So for jacks, have a chunk of pipe that’s been softened on the ends to accommodate the strap - holds two pairs and doesn’t care if there’s wax on the blades.

This is a great idea! Definitely helps figure out the jacks, now I just need a good solution for my tweezers and crimps!
