As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Tool (dis) organizer

Today, we added the Milwaukee Bucketless Tool Organizer (49-17-180) to our website. The name sounds easy enough, but my first thought when looking at the picture was that it was rather disorganized looking for an organizer, but that's what Milwaukee supplied.

50 Pockets?
First off, what would anyone do with 50 pockets? I have a hard time finding my keys with only 4 to choose from, let alone 50. I'm confident that I could lose lots of stuff when I organize into 50. Of course, the most commonly used items should be easy to find, but that's not what I need an organizer for. I need it for those things that I don't use continually but still want to have along.

Two halves of the battle
So I guess I'll start thinking about what I'll drop in here when I order one. Half of the battle will be finding the tools I want in it, the other half will be deciding which ones of those I really use enough to keep them along with me all the time.

Future upgrades
Of course, as soon as I find a 51 pocket model, I'll need to upgrade. Or, if they have a bucket-using / bucket-less model, that'll need an upgrade. That reminds me --- my 3 17" LCD monitors on this machine are getting old. Time for an upgrade.
