Shop Tools to keep out in the open?

board is separated into top - imperial and bottom metric
I like this. I do currently have Imperial wrenches hung, but metric are in a tool box and I have to dig a bit for the right one. Now I just have to find a place on the non-woodworking side for them all.
 
I added a clip to hold the tape measure to the lower one, and hung the flexible steel rulers there too. Still a tiny bit of room for a few more oddball wrenches like the ER collet wrench. This thread has me looking to finish this part of the reorg and get the T-handle hex keys up on the wall too (on removeable racks) like they used to be.
Last item to do is add a label above the wrenches for their sizes.

My 1/2" and 3/4" wrenches and sockets face the opposite way to the rest so I don't have to look at the size.
