Assorted drawer, O/A hose fittings, mediablast tips, fuse puller, door handle remover, tap wrench, scissors, tweezers, feelers, plug gapper,
Nope, no flashlight batterys in this drawer
 
In this case I probity stole one from the house never to return it. Of course there are no batteries in there those 19 volt packs are to big. I bought this box set up in 72 been using it daily since then. I know there is stuff in there that has not seen daylight in years.

After yesterday I'm not sure if senility is setting in or I should be celebrating. Been looking for my jumper cable with Anderson plugs and my yellow tool bag for a month. Yesterday the Explorer did the beloved bot enough battery to start routine thanks to all the computer crap draw on it when I was headed out.

At least I wasn't time committed so I took the time to look in the big plastic box I threw in the back to keep things neater. Regularly used connector box removed, roll of duct tape, roll of mechanic wire, kneeling pillow, extension cord out I found not only the yellow bay, which contained a lot more than I remembered throwing in it, I found the black bag I hadn't even missed yet. On the bottom was the Anderson Plug cable.

Pulled that sucker out, undid the velcro straps, and backed the garden tractor/buttbuggy next to the Explorer to recharge the Explorer. It worked well and I repacked the big plastic box. Started the Explorer and let it idle for a few minutes while I put the ButtBuggy away.

I wonder if people who are permatied to them smart phones use them to keep an inventory of their toys er I mean tools. I'd just mislay the damn phone.

Spare AA batterys are in the black leather bag between the front & back seat, passenger side along with 4 of the personal tropical vacation fans I give ladies of a certain age so they can chill. Ladies seem to like that gesture and don't leave me on HOLD.

I use my phone to keep track of notes, part numbers, and track checklists for projects. I dont actually use it to keep track of any tools or anything. I really only have one small toolset, and I keep it neatly positioned by my jumpseats at all times. I will say using the colornote app on my phone for lists has been handy as if I need to jot down an important serial number or part number for later I dont have to worry about laying a piece of paper down only to lose it later.
 
what's a smart phone? I though we were up down when we got a cordless one.
now here is one more draw full of stuff you seldom need but when you do nothing else will work
