Dan: Thanks. I'm surprised at myself, a life long DIY'r that I didn't
think that direction. Thanks

I was hoping to find one of the kits with pre-molded holes for the
different tools. It allows a quick scan at the end of a fixit project to
make sure all tools are accounted for. I just don't want to carry around
a bunch of metrics that I don't need in the field tool box for my
Helicopter. Costco had a nice one but it was loaded with both kinds of
sockets.

OK, this is one of the ways we did it in the Air Farce: Get two pieces
of appropriate dimensioned foam, we used neoprene as well, cut holes for
your tools in one, paint one side of the other piece a contrasting colour
the glue the two pieces together so the colour shows through the holes.
Two other ways we did it: get a thick piece of foam and cut out
appropriate shapes and holes or you can heat the tools and let them melt
the holes. Obviously the latter doesn't work with plastic tools and may
damage the metal ones. In either case you paint either the cutouts or the
surface a contrasting colour.

These inserts can be used in ordinary tool boxes as we did.
