It has been my experience when supervising over 40 repair techs, repairing everything from power supplies, to pcbs, to cash dispensers, to MICR readers, that they all have distinctive workbenches, and that messy benches can be as productive as neat benches. The messy bench techs seem to work faster, but spend more time looking for tools and parts, while the neat bench guys are slow and methodical in their repairs, but they can sometimes reach for a tool with their eyes closed ... And it's there! Personally watching and timing the neat bench lads drove me pretty much crazy, and the sloppy bench guys made me want to getup and just shake my head while walking away. I'm somewhere in between, always cleaning at the finish of each job ... Or two. Whatever works for you is what works for you - that simple.
