Various tools cabinet

While I am building the hand tool cabinet, I got inspired to build another cabinet for the tools that did not really fit into this more hand tool cabinet.  It now holds the various tools into 2 cabinets. 

Various other requirements

I baught last christmas Wera screwdrivers and used the included holders that came with the kit but were a bit cheap and taught I could do better then the holders.  This is what it looked like.Had other tools that were in a tool holder on the floor.  Pliers, scrapers, pliers and bunch of other tools that were just a mess and not really organized and collecting dust.  I am building a hand tool cabinet and was thinking on the the design I am using from Fine Woodworking and could not find a proper way to hold these tools. Wanted some options opened in this tool cabinet so decided to expand on more then the screwdrivers

So as many of you, went on other social media and image banks for ideas to hold pliers and such other tools. As with many things, these are a combination of the found ideas the other did and the tools I got with the material I got at hand.  I also have the luxury to have a cabinet that I could reuse as it served as my router bit holder cabinet.  

Since the my router bits are now stored within the base of my router table I had a nice cabinet that I could reuse to convert for some storage.  This is the first part of the cabinet that I reuse/converted to the Screwdrivers and Pliers.  It is mounted on french cleat to a wall that is close to my work bench.  It allows me store the big rulers behind the cabinet and in front of the wall.  Because of the space constraint to clear for the screwdrivers, I decided to add a second small cabinet to store the other items that could not fit into the first cabinet.  

This smaller cabinet stores small mallet, lager cutter and hammers (left side of the cabinet).  Here is the end result Pretty happy with the result.  It is now better organized and found new floor space.
