I've gathered more than 10 tool cases, including around 8 hard plastic ones and several soft cloth ones. Since I'm not a contractor, they're just collecting dust on my shelves. It feels wasteful to throw them out, but they really take up a lot of space in my small workshop. What does everyone else do with theirs?

It sounds like a lot of those cases are probably custom-made for specific tools, so they might not be useful for anything else. I’d suggest donating or recycling the ones you don’t use. Space is precious, especially if your shop is already small!
I saved one case for trips when I help friends. I also use a couple for my art supplies like brushes and paints. It’s good to reuse what you can, but I’m also curious to see what others suggest!
I'd recommend keeping a couple of cases for transporting tools or bits. You can donate the rest to thrift stores or maybe sell them at a garage sale. Those options might help clear some space!
Totally agree! We’ve just been cutting down on stuff that isn’t actually necessary to keep our shop organized.
