Tool
OK, thanks for looking John. It's appreciated.
It's funny. I never knew I needed parallel jaw pliers till I saw the earlier posts. But sure enough, I needed them today! I bought a bunch of used tooling from a seller recently. It needs cleaning and polishing. There is this one odd fastener on a sine plate that was too short for a regular wrench. A parallel plier would have been perfect. Isn't that always the way it works!

I don’t know if those count as parallel jaw or just a slip joint plier. For those dadgum spring hose clamps they work really well, if you can reach them.

Canadian owned company too, which is part of why I tried them out.
Where on God's Green Earth would I find room for a rack of connectors like that to hang my tools from so nice and neatly.....???
I throw most of mine in a tool bag on the floor under the back right side of a trailer. The exception is a tiny little MAC Tools Die Grinder. It stays in a drawer in my air tool parts cabinet. My 20V tools are in another tool bag under the left back side of the same trailer.
Yup organized chaos...... No room to organize tool hangers like that.

Messy desk, messy mind to which the answer is Empty desk, empty mind.
BTW not commenting on being organized or not, as long as it works.

You are just like my wife. We drive each other crazy. But we cherish our differences too. She is my Ying and I am her Yang.
Remember my story about pilers and filers. Neither one is better than the other and neither one should ever be forced to be who they are not. We are who we are and we need to be grateful for our differences and celebrate them.
I'd love to have a nice neat tidy shop. But I'd be terrified of getting it dirty, spend my whole life organizing it, and end up getting nothing done. Been a piler for 76 years, not gunna change now. My wife can knock herself out tidying up after she pushes me into the hole.
