Moving last year was a total headache because I didn’t organize my tools properly. I just threw everything into one big box without sorting or labeling. When I arrived at the new house, it took me almost half a day to find even the basic screwdriver and hammer. It was frustrating because I had planned some small repairs right away but ended up wasting so much time digging through that mess. Has anyone figured out a good system to keep tools organized during a move?

Just saw this thread while scrolling and even though I’m not super handy myself, I know how annoying it can be when you have to hunt for stuff after a move. Organizing anything well always makes life easier. I’m bookmarking this for when I eventually have to pack up my things!
I completely get that! When I moved recently, I made sure to pack my tools very carefully. I kept everything in the original toolboxes and wrapped sharp or heavy tools separately. Also, I labeled each container clearly by type of tool or purpose. What really helped was this detailed article I found about How to Pack Tools for Moving — it explained smart ways to pack and organize tools so they’re easy to access once you arrive. If you want to check it out, here’s the link: https://nationalmovers.org/resources/how-to-pack-tools-for-moving/. It saved me a ton of time unpacking and finding what I needed. Highly recommend it!
