Tim - I like your idea of tool groups. I did start a system like that with multiple toolboxes, but the weakness was not labelling the contents on the outside and forgetting what went where.
That's why I like the shadow system that we had in the woodwork class at school - everything had to put away perfectly after the lesson and it was foolproof.
I think these bin storage systems will confuse the tool fairies. They can swap the bins around as much as they like, but everything is visible:
£65 from ScrewFix (left picture) and they seem to be industry standard with interchangeable bins in all shapes and sizes. Wifey does a lot of card making and needlework so between us there are plenty of small items/tools to organise that way.
The Euro Container system looks ideal for bigger tools. Stacking boxes that follow a sequence from 600x400, 400x300, 200x300, down to 200x150. Tough and designed to be stable during transport, ideal for car or boat.
