Yes? My tape measures are in the tape measure box. White metal cabinet, lowest shelf on the right, cardboard box marked "tape measures." There's a dozen or so tape measures in there. Same place they've been the last 30 years.

Making a custom enclosure for every tool seems over optimized and wasteful. If I were to attempt this, it would take decades and I'd never see a return on productivity within my lifetime.

I’m not sure if having a box in a drawer in the cabinet with 10 tape measures is the flex you think it is
