Getting that Garage Organized - Continued

If you don’t like the wall mounted tool system you can use all types toolboxes, small or large, even metal or wood. You most likely will want to stay away from plastic, as they are not going to be heavy enough to put all your bigger hand tools into. One thing is for sure, if you are purchase a large type toolbox you might want to make sure it has wheels so you can easily move it about when you are working on different projects, or just when you want to sweep the floor. Large toolboxes can become very heavy when they are full of your hand tools.

Often other types of hand tools like drills; saws and such will have a case that you purchase them in. Keeping these types of electronic or plug in tools in their cases is going to prevent water from harming your tools. You can keep these types of items on a shelf below the work bench or on a high workbench so children can’t reach them easily. 

For tools that are used more often you can keep them in a small carry type tool box, one that will allow you to have a few types of screw drivers, a few ratchets and such all in one location that you can carry around but still be organized. 

Wall brackets, hanging brackets and shelving are going to be your best options in getting organized and making space in your garage, shed or in your storage area. Check you local hardware or retail hardware outlet for great ideas on getting organized and the best products you might like most when you are organizing your space.
