Unless you want a roll-up bag or a pegboard situation, there aren’t many ways to store larger combination wrenches in an orderly manner. A colleague found these wrench organizers from Toolbox Widget, and they’re working out better than anything else I’ve tried.

(And I mean they become disassembled, not pull apart like they’re designed to.)
