Small tools -drill bits, file,s etc - aren't the problem. they all poke into and are kept on a block of foam or in a drawer,
Other thing such as wire strippers, irons, etc on the bench or in drawers when not being used.
The solder pot next to my winder gets frequent use.
It's the large tools that are used frequently (when I saw frequently, I mean at least once every five minutes or so) the staging area for work in progress/work finished, etc.
Shuffling around large tools (and
each other)to make room for and use other large tools... is a waste, as is traveling to and from those tools if they're too far away. That was one of our major problems in the old shop 2+ years ago.
