I like my spanner wrench stored nicely along with the hex driver. I just jack it up and adjust on the fly like star mentions below.

The foam thing is awesome, I had no idea it was so easy to shape with hot metal. I don't have that foam in my car anymore, but now that gives me ideas for organizing some of the tools in a trailer toolbox, just using a square sheet of foam and doing the same thing.
Different types of foam responds differently so test it out first. Some melt quickly.

Thanks SgtGoldy. After completing the first one, I said this is too easy for such a pro finished look.

TheGreatOne, and Mr&Mrs! And yes, I agree about having those things in a nice spot and not just somewhere back there.

You can be really creative on placement. I contemplated on stacking them on top of each other but in different directions where one is deeper than the other. I decided based on what I want to do with the space on the upper right side. I have something in mind for it.

Post pics of what you end up doing.
