Form Specific Areas Within a Zone

Designate areas for hand tools vs measuring equipment or fasteners of different shapes and sizes like nuts and many varieties of bolt. This type of organization makes it easier to work in your shop.

Cabinets with Detail

Containers that resemble cabinets are another excellent way to gather similar items. By putting identical tools in the same compartment you can locate them easily without running all over creation looking for something.

For effective tool organizing, install a big slat wall system. With hooks on the panel, the various tools required in your shop are accessible and visible at a glance as well as being conveniently stowed away. This arrangement not only saves space but keeps your workshop clean.

One helpful idea is to make custom tool outlines on the panel with a foam liner. This method gives each tool its place and makes finding and putting back items much more convenient. Besides that, the foam liner will provide extra protection against scratches and dings.

Storage solutions

Smaller tools and accessories can be stored using pegboards on the wall panel. Pegboards make it easy to custom design according to your tools collections. With careful planning of the space, combined with arranging hooks and holders, it is possible to get the most out of your storage and keep all equipment within easy reach at all times.

Another effective means of organization is to place like items together in several bins or clear plastic containers on the wall panel shelves. Sorting tools by type speeds up work flow and prevents accumulation of clutter. Transparent containers allow you to look at what is inside at a glance, which saves time when searching for specific items.
