Subject: Re: Tool Storage Question by Josh on 2011/6/17 3:05:55 I have been through several iterations, and the most effcient way I've found to do it is everything in a large single drawer; I use the Hansen trays to organize my sockets and 1/2 inch thick foam cut outs to organize the ratchets and extensions - all in the large top drawer of my bottom box. I normally take a 1 x 4 and screw about 60 dry wall screws partially into it at 1 inch intervals. I attach that to the wall and then hang my wrenches on it. I had my girl run a piece of green masking tape above the wrenches and label their locations with a black marker. Now, she can find them when I ask her to grab one. I've done it like that for years now, and just build another one when I move. It looks pretty professional if you paint the 1 x 4, I like the look of 'cast aluminum' paint. In my current garage, I hung up some pegboard and am using that to hold wrenches and other tools. Thus far, I like the 1 x 4 method better for wrenches. The peg board hooks seem to fall off if I'm not careful grabbing wrenches. I'm sure you've been there, but www.garagejournal.com is a great resource for garage stuff. The signal to noise ratio is kinda high, but if you can get past that there are some great ideas on there. |
