Nice idea, build inserts for cheap toolbags to put tools in
Hum…I wonder about doing this with a bucket based system too. I like this idea, it helps organize the tool bag. These bags are pretty cheap and basically replace the old metal toolboxes you used to get. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Toolbag-Organizer/
