Since Jeff and I were together in Moab, and his tools were out, I set mine beside it so we could have a pic for this thread.
I purchased a tool wrap based on this thread. Have had it about 2 months now. Will never go back to a box, that's certain. The wrap has 27 lbs of tools in it thus far and has been flawless. Big thumbs up and thank-you to the thread starter and participants.

Yup I feel the same way. I just need to label my pouches and I don't sew so I guess I'll use a marker.

Be sure to check your spelling before you use a permanent marker…
Is that a service you offer?
It's not permanent, and I have to replace it frequently, but I use different color electrical tape and or fingernail polish to mark my different size sockets and wrenches. I only do this to the frequently used sizes when I work on my motorcycle. 8mm is black, 10mm is red, 13mm is white, and 17mm is brown.I wish more tool makers would etch the sizes on the wrenches and sockets so you can see them easy. It's especially painful when you are crawling around underneath a vehicle that uses both SAE and metric. I'm going to try cleaning some of mine real good and putting paint or nail polish over the tiny engraved numbers then wiping it off real quick and see if it stays in the recessed numbers and makes them easy to see.

I don't know what colors I would use working on my Jeep because of SAE and metric, or the odd 15, 16, 18mm sizes,
