Organizing and Storing Your Tools |
|
|
|
|
If you are a homeowner with a garage, chances are the majority of your tools are stashed haphazardly in the garage. In fact, searching for a certain-sized hammer, wrench or screwdriver sometimes turns into a full-scale search-and-seizure mission that inevitably results in you finding the tool after several hours have passed, during which time you could have already completed the job if your tools had been stored in proper containers.
Types of Tool Storage Devices for the Garage
Garage Workbenches
The most efficient way to keep your tools safely organized and readily accessible is by obtaining a garage workbench with a shelf backdrop and drawers to hold variously sized tools. Workbenches offer sturdy work surfaces coated with protective sealant to prevent scratching and chipping and a heavy-duty steel framework capable of supporting up to 1000 pounds. In addition, workbenches can be permanent fixtures in the garage or come with roller casters for easy maneuverability around the garage.
Tool Chests and Tool Carts
Features of tool chests or carts include:
| • |
Up to 25 drawers that easily open by using fully extended, ball-bearing slides |
| • |
Mechanical locks on drawers and cabinets to prevent tool theft |
| • |
Sidewall post support for added strength |
| • |
Effortless movement facilitated by casters even for the heaviest loads |
| • |
Drawers are inhibited from accidentally opening during movement via an effective retention system |
| • |
Glossy, scratch resistant powder coat keeps tool chests looking new |
Some tool chests come with an optional, pull-out work surface that can be placed in the middle or on the side of the tool chest. Moreover, drawers are lined to safeguard even the most expensive tools.
Pegboard Storage System
So that everyone in the family can have immediate access to commonly used tools, hanging pegboards on garage walls will keep tools off the floor as well as organize them according to size and type. Pegboards are primarily made from sturdy plastic or metal, come in many different sizes and are easy to clean. Holes are separated by several inches of space to accommodate whatever you want to hang on them, from hammers and wrenches to power drills and saws.
What makes pegboards so useful and versatile is the ability to move hooks around on the pegboard in order to make storing items even easier. In addition, they can help begin a major garage organization project by providing places to hang tools and other items as you sort through things lying around the garage. Pegboards can also be hung above or next to workbenches and tool chests to hold extra tools when all the drawers in a bench or chest have been filled.
