I agree the Gerstners and Kennedys are nice, but I can't justify that kind of outlay. At least, not while there's tooling to buy!
Originally, I chucked everything into stackable plastic storage boxes and those small-parts organizers. I grabbed a $100 Gerstner-knockoff from Amazon and am using that for the delicate measuring stuff, and a cheap cantilever toolbox for setup/clamping hardware. Most of the actual hand tools are on pegboard.
Oh yeah, made a fruitless trip to the local orange box store as well. Pretty depressing selection of toolboxes. How is it that quality has dropped from even five years ago, when it was already abysmal?
