So I interpreted this to mean that you used the bolts in your bolt bin. That's my thread checker. Metric is easy as they go 6,8,10 etc. If you keep both fine and coarse thread in the same bin it's easy to spot the difference. Imperial is a bit harder but if you've worked with it for many years like I have then it's not to difficult. I have thread checkers but I might use them once every two years. The rest of the measuring is by eyeball. The hardest for me to see in bolt heads is the difference between 3/8th. 10mm and 7/16th's.
One of the most useful things I have done in my barn/shop is put things on the walls where they are visible. And the best thing I have done to put things on the wall was to use magnet bars from Harbor Freight - used for drill bits, impact driver bits, and more - will be adding more for wrenches.
See the pics - also used Harbor Freight hooks and hangars for cords and circ saws and sawz alls etc.
