A/C tool kit

I was hoping to find one of the kits with pre-molded holes for the different
tools. It allows a quick scan at the end of a fixit project to make sure
all tools are accounted for. I just don't want to carry around a bunch of
metrics that I don't need in the field tool box for my Helicopter. Costco
had a nice one but it was loaded with both kinds of sockets.
OK, this is one of the ways we did it in the Air Farce: Get two
pieces of appropriate dimensioned foam, we used neoprene as well, cut
holes for your tools in one, paint one side of the other piece a
contrasting colour the glue the two pieces together so the colour shows
through the holes. Two other ways we did it: get a thick piece of foam
and cut out appropriate shapes and holes or you can heat the tools and
let them melt the holes. Obviously the latter doesn't work with plastic
tools and may damage the metal ones. In either case you paint either the
cutouts or the surface a contrasting colour.
These inserts can be used in ordinary tool boxes as we did.
