Tool Drawer Labels

My middle child figured out how to change the batteries in the flashlights, my youngest knows where the battery cabinet is and that all batteries belong in said cabinet. My youngest is also a strong believer in fengshui and that nothing in the house is harmonized. So.... can you imagine what happens when the batteries in my mag dies and I need five matching D cells?

I stlll don't know where 2/3 of my silverware has gone off to.

You want to talk about tool mooches? I learned they're grave robbers. After my father passed away, people we haven't spoken to in years showed up on our doorstep asking to have some of (now) my tools. My father was notorous for etching his name into everything possible and all of these ---uvulas--- wanted something to remember him by. I told them that if they wanted to remember him, their ass should've been there when our family was asking for help with his illness. I was furious, chased most of them off with a steel sledge/wedge/hammer thing my dad welded together only because I couldn't find the chainsaw.

One of them even had the gall to call the police. Didn't know it until later but my dad helped the sheriff's wife out of the snow when the family first moved and again when his daughter got hurt. Dad asked for nothing and refused payment. Sheriff paid us back. :cheers:

As it was a few tools did go missing until I got wise and started leaving my dogs outdoors at night.

Furniture, too.  I've been through a couple of home cleanouts that was just awful that way.  An old lady, who barely anyone helped take care of, passes on and distant relatives come from all over the place to try and haul away her stuff.  I almost got into a throwdown once over a hutch that a cousin showed up to claim.  The problem wasn't even that I wouldn't let her take it - the problem was that the owner wasn't dead.  They heard the owner had died and ran right over to take things but didn't care enough to actually verify. 

The funny thing?  That time a bunch of cousins started fighting over couches and tables but not one person asked about her diamond ring.

To answer OP, everything in my house is labeled with one of these:



There are a bunch of label types you can get, but any of the the plastic labeling is perfect for tool drawers, parts bins, boxes, as it doesn't attract dust. If your tool cabinet is a lighter color, the clear plastic is the best. Those Dymo labelers make a worthwhile $20 range tool.  :cheers:
