I use the same ones but they were for pickles originally , my tools of choice in this order are glasses gloves magnet shears screwdrivers hammer drill sawzaw . I try to keep my toolboxes geared towards certain projects so I know which one to grab . You should have 2 toolboxes that contain your essentials , just like a spare et of keys . I have lost or broken a whole lot of tools , they were mostly cheapest that I got at auction or out of a storage unit . I have learned that you get what you pay for , I learned this with metal sawzaw blades . I keep the sawzaw impact gun and drill with me in the truck as well as all my straps and a goto bucket with pry bar screw drives hammer and random other tools .

I finally found a job box that can house all my stone masonry tools until I need them again . This has saved me a bunch of valuable space on shelves and other toolboxes that contained overflow . I do keep a brick hammer in the bucket as well . Might want to look into getting the toolboxes that mount on the side of your bed . Would increase you load volume and not take up any bed space .
