I keep all of mine and keep the tool in them unless it is actually better to use another small tool box. Those with the tray inside the top are great for tools that have a lot of accessories. They don't make good hand carry metal TB's anymore so you have to pick them up used. I have been known to cut out the formed interior of a BM box to accommodate more storage.
On the subject of peeves, my peeve on corded power tools is wrapping the cord tightly around the tool. Mine are always looped and next to it so as to not strain the part that goes into the tool. I hate it when that breaks and then soon enough you have a broken cord to replace. It's not a strain relief when it's bent over the end of the tool.
Even more are the cords that tend to spiral and IDK why they do that. Can't stand it and I replace those too with a better cord. No one makes a better cord than Festool with Makita not far behind. The worst are HF and that ilk. I hate that cheap stinky shiny plastic. They were once better, then worse, and now better to the best of my knowledge. I haven't bought a HF tool in years.
