How to organize a tool box

i used to organize my uncle's tools back when i didn't have tools. i always went small to large to awkward

i used general categories and organized them by size and alphabetical/numerical

Something small such as "consumables" (nuts, nails, screws, wires, etc)

Large: "wrenches" metric - left, american standard - right

Akward: Drill, clamps, etc

right now, all i have is a bag and a smaller bag. got my wrenches, torque wrench, hammer and long things inside the big bag. the smaller bag has all the loose things such as screw drivers, measuring tape, socket adapters (i connect them all in a long line; it's easier that way even if i've got 3 different brands), pencils, etc.

I try to keep things that can poke me on the outside of the bag in the pockets or out of the small bag. That's one downfall to bags. Everyone has to put a saw in it or something pokey.
