I'm reorganising my hobby space and I could really use some inspiration for cool and effective ways to do this. I have a rectangular room of about 15sqrm (6m x 2.5m) for this, I also have a treadmill in there so I don't have tons of space.

Sounds nice but the main issue I personally see with that bag philosophy is needing the same tool for 2 different tasks. I'm sure as heck not buying a second pair of 50 euro knipex because I have the other pair set aside for some other task.

Currently I can barely get most of tools that don't have a box of their own into a big metal toolbox. If I was going to live where I am currently for more than the next year I might think about setting up a pegboard for my tools again. Maybe make a nice wall of pliers

Agreed. I'm kind of lucky that my area is full of elderly machinists so garage sales and estate sales are full of tools like that. Even crappy tools that are right there are better than a good tool somewhere else for me.

I do have a common tools basket too. Some pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, hammer.
