Toolbox within a toolbox
I know this may seem kinda odd, but I'm wondering what toolboxes folks are using to hold their hand tools and power tools within their bed toolboxes.
I've got a Rawson Koenig M-series toolbox of some flavor (I don't know the specifics, it came with the truck) that has plenty of room. It also has four small pockets up at the top for hand tools, but I'd rather organize all of my hand tools together in a single toolbox that I can pull out when needed instead of gathering it all up.
I also carry my corded grinder and a cordless drill, which I would like to place in said toolbox.
While we're on the subject of tools, what's the best inverter for power corded tools with the truck running should I ever find myself in a position where I need to do that?
My truck is essentially my workshop on wheels, so the more I can facilitate the ease of use of my tools, the better.

I have a small steel tool box from TSC inside of mine with all my wrenches and spare nuts and bolts, 2 tool bags a 50 piece ratchet set, and just about every tool you would need build a house. ( I could give a full list of tools but that's a lot of typing on my phone). But most of my hand tools are in 2 of the three removable sliding trays in the top of my toolbox. That way they are in full view and it's easy to find what I need. The other tray is full of ratchet straps.

I carry some tow straps and a few other get-me-home items in a crude cardboard box, hah.
I've got my bed tent in there as well, along with a fishing rod, and other tools I would need should I ever find myself stranded somewhere. I don't mind that stuff being loose, honestly. It's being able to get hand tools in and out that's my priority.
I'm gonna look into some smaller chests that I can stash my tools in. I'm likely gonna toss my cordless sawzall in too, but it has it's own bag that it can stay in.
