Colour coding stuff to find it quicker.
This one is somewhat trivial but it saves me time every now and then.
Do you have a row or bunch of things that ball look similar but you have pick up and look closely at almost all of them to find the right one?
The red heat shrink tells me they are centre punches as opposed to nail punches or drift punches.

Here's another slightly different case
White heat shrink in my shed means 6mm or 1/4"

Just colour coding one size or two in a selection also you work out which way to go up or down in size

Usually its easy to tell the 1/4" bit as it's shorter than the others
However, in what I'm calling my short set (still building up the set) the length could be anything

Its a pity heat shrink won't go over spanners and then shrink down enough to hold on, I am forever looking for the one to use on a certain thing.

Thanks for those tips Bob
In regard to the spanner for a certain job, could you wrap a bit of coloured electrical tape and then some CA over the join, to keep it there?
