I encountered these colorful wrenches and quite unsure how to feel about them. What are your thoughts on color coding tools? Do you paint your actual tools or just use a color coded bag to separate them or something? Or do you stick with old school and just... wing it stainless? Hahaha.
 
Color coding's super handy, especially in low light or fast-paced jobs, I don't paint mine, but I've used wraps and colored tool rolls, stainless looks clean, but color saves time
 
What do you find more helpful...instantly spotting a color-coded tool or keeping things classic and just knowing where everything is by feel and habit?
