I try to buy a power tool in a carrying case. If no case study, then store the tool in its original box.

I cut from plywood 1 cm thick strip width of 5 to 25 cm. I drive them through a woodworking machine with the saw blade. It turns out the groove. Then I gather from these bands boxes with sliding lid. box size for a specific tool. If you need to store small things, making additional compartment.

Description - it is certainly good, but when it comes to storing tools, better to see once than hear a hundred times. See that offer users of the portal.

I refused to buy ready-made "organizers" for the instrument. Made drawer. The cover chipboard drill holes for a specific tool. Now flat screwdriver, not vsunesh in place cross.

And this is life hacking by Ivanrin. All the tools laid out in its place on the shelves.

To maintain order in the shop at once, rather than later, put the instrument back to where you get it.

Ivanrin

I was lucky, it was possible to buy on the cheap b \ y metal shelves of the store. Took 7 pcs. The width of the shelves - 500 mm. Now, my instrument is, where carousing.

Shelves withstand loads up to 50 kg.

This "store" looks neat and there is enough space for everything.

Experience shows that optimum depth of the shelves is not more than 40-50 cm. If deeper, for the tool have far to climb. It is not comfortable. However, there is nuance, store different small things in jars and containers, it is more convenient to the shallow shelves, width 15-20 cm.

Convenient containers for fines, are obtained from plastic trays from the meat or salads.

Conveniently. Practical. Mobility.

Storage of the drill and sewer pipe shuropovorta

This idea - is not new. She can often be seen by considering the foreign workshops. If you have lying around "unnecessary" pieces of plastic pipe "110 to", the system is easy to make with your own hands.

I have two old drills. I decided to make them "garage" of the sewer pipe. I measured tool length. Spaced cutting pipes. I cut a groove on the wedge. The problem of cables decided using pieces of paper tape. Secured to a shelf system via a pair of screws. Voila, you're done.

Organizer for screwdrivers of plastic window sills

In the manufacture of storage systems for tools, it is a question all - board, plywood scraps, metal and so on.. Assess how the organization of the workplace came participant FORUMHOUSE Otshelnik2.

Otshelnik2

My tools are two built-in closets. The height of the furniture - 2500 mm. Width - 1300 mm. Depth - 500 mm. For storing tools use:

old trunks;
box;
containers;

bags.

Fastening the user put into plastic buckets out of the product. Screwdriver and chisel stuck in the cutting of the plastic window sills. Screw them directly to the cabinet door. Bottoms - the end caps from the windowsills, + the magnetic rail-holder for kitchen knives, which he "hangs" open-end wrench.

storage boxes for small things of the b / u plastic canisters

Old plastic containers, for example, out of the impregnation of wood - a valuable item. Do not throw them away! They find many applications. For example, from cans, cutting off one of the walls can be made retractable shelves Prescription krasnogorec11.

Handy thing, right?

At the same time appreciate the working space in the garage-workshop of the user.

Storage instruments "French" system

Another storage system, frequently occurring abroad.

Trudavik

I decided to organize a tool storage system. Studying the Internet, came across t. N. "French regiments" - strips of plywood, fixed to the wall, which, via an adapter, the tools are hung. Look what happened in the end.

I also went on this way. I had b / pallets and boards. French system did so:

Pulled from the bottom of the pallet boards and spacers.
Circular saw did cut down on the top edge of the board at an angle of 45 degrees.
Polished preform.
Screw the rails to the wall.
One of the boards sawn in two pieces 4 cm wide, and made them washed down at 45 degrees.

Assembled system on the screws, screwing the shelves to the guide that slides on the "bus", bolted to the wall.

System configuration is chosen according to your needs.

As stored in the workshop fittings, drill bits and bits for screwdrivers

Hardware, and different small things - the eternal headache in the studio. They are constantly lost. "Hide" when most needed and, in general, I want them to sort out once and for all. Exit:

Use for storing bolts, nuts, screws, screws, washers, and so on. D. - transparent tank - the banks and the "basket", carved out of plastic bottles of water to 5 liters.

Banks can be fastened through the cover to the ceiling or bottom of the bench.

Do not use glass jars - they are easy to break.

Drills and bits conveniently store, using magnets, for example, taken from the old speakers.

Now, change is always at hand and not get lost among the older "brothers".

At the end of the article, we show the photo, which shows workshops with well-spaced tool.

conclusions

The workplace does not become a "hlamovnik" if constantly to maintain order in the workshop.

By the way, cabinets for storage of tools and small things you can do with your hands, if you buy a cheap kitchen. But they will have to intensify due to greater load, and mounted on four points on the wall - the top and bottom.

But the shelves, if not find a cheap b / y, more profitable to do it yourself by buying metal proftrubu or area, and on the shelves to put the plywood or boards.
