I would not classify myself as a tool man. However, I always fix my cars myself and save money to buy tools I need to to the job. If I hired someone to fix my cars, I had nothing left. Tools will be mine after I fixed my cars.

I tend to spend more time looking for tools I've dropped or they had just gotten up and walked away... I generally find them after I have already replaced them and I am looking for another one that had wandered off... I really need to take my time and sweep the floor and get rid of all of the empty cans, bottles and packaging parts arrived in... It's hard to walk much less find stuff you dropped when it gets knee deep and I am have afraid I'll find a dead opossum or raccoon under the stuff which isn't nearly as bad as finding a pissed off one of either that is alive....

"Geez", you could've at least made one of the hammers hang crookedly, a tool missing or one in the wrong spot or something... That is so meticulously laid out that you must have some sort of mental thing goin' on - like an obsession-...

When I had my bike shop the tools were always in place on the wall like that... I had a guy working for me that had OCD which was good when he wasn't grabbing up the tools that had been taken down to work with and putting them back up where they belonged before I got to use them... I had to train myself to take down one tool at a time and return it and pick up the next tool I needed and it turned out to work out well as long as there were no more than two people in the small work area at a time.

Enjoyed revisiting this thread started by Mike - some nice garages and nice organized tools. I love spending time in my garage - getting it organized. I am planning to weed out some stuff this fall so I can make more room.

Geezzzz... This is the kind of museum I'd go to. Just to look at the pieces of art on the walls.
This is how I ended up with $100 coat hooks and $300 shelves around the house. Need to re-compute my math. Let's see:
coat hook - $maybe $3-$4 / tools $90+
storage/utility shelf materials - $30-$40 tops / tools maybe $200+
Maybe a bit exaggerated but yeah I'm sure I'm not alone...
Hey but more power to you FITMugen. I enjoy the view. Hope you have some grease-scented Fabreeze to spray the garage with every now and then.
My man-cave is a dump too, with a PC, 24" hi-res mon and PC speakers... Just throw me some food/beverage every now and then and I'm set.
