i use festool systainers for my woodworking tools, metal mechanics style for general tools . cheap plastic ones for rarly used items ( recipricating saw etc) and dearer plastic ones but good proper brands for common used tools.
i have a stanley tool chest for my tiling tools exept the sigm thats god its own

Green for sponges.
Black for ancillary tools.

You should think about getting a bigger van to carry your tools..

i use them to devide up tools into tasks. painting,tiling, floor laying,wood floor, door hanging , etc

Have three of the stanley ones with wheels that stack, bal mixing bucket for trowels sponges divided up in to washboys, powertools in there cases.

I use storage boxes, each one for a different kind of item/job. For example I have a box for ppe, consumables, tiling, decorating, plastering, plumbing etc. All are stackable and labeled and when I get a van racked out will sit great on the shelves

A above. You need to separate out tasks.
Lightweight tool bags are a must for the top floor jobs.

Or you could get a monkey.
