True - but we're talking about working on bikes here.

How many different tools do you actually use? It's surprising how far you can get with just a 5 mm allen wrench. I've got a pretty good collection and I use a pegboard. My allen wrenches, cable cutter and other frequently used tools are in the center, close to my work stand. Freewheel removers, big wrenches and tools that get a lot of torque are stored close to my bench vise.

If I was working on cars I'd use a roller cabinet so that I could pull everything up close to where I'm working. Since I work on bikes, it's easier to pull what I'm working on up close to my tools.
