When you have a stress-free, organized environment, you can focus more on your projects and less on clutter. The right tool storage solutions can help you optimize your shop, instead of searching for each and every tool you need in messy piles or drawers. Find the workshop storage that helps you get the job done, from hand tools to power tools to ladders and more.
1. For Drills, Drivers, and Other Small Power Tools
No workshop is complete without some power tools: electric drills, impact drivers, oscillating saws, and more. These are some of the most-used tools in your arsenal, so they should be both organized and within arms reach.
That’s why the Power Tool Rack + Shelf is the perfect complement to your small power tools. The four slots keep them out of the way yet easily reachable. Mount the shelf nearby, and you can keep your chargers, drill bits, and more with your power tools so they don’t get lost or separated.
2. For Cords, Hoses, Ropes, and More
Tangled cords, hoses, ropes, and wires are not just unpleasant and inefficient to work with—they are eyesores and detract from how streamlined your workshop could be. Plus, when you go to use them, you have to go through the laborious process of detangling and unknotting.
Save yourself time and keep your space from looking cluttered: tie up all your loose items with Utility Storage Straps. They fasten securely with hook and loop closure, and they include a metal grommet loop for hanging storage. Imagine the time saved when you grab a neatly stored cord as opposed to a messy, knotted hose that takes way too long to untangle. With utility straps keeping everything organized, you can get your projects done without any wasted time.
3. For Small Hand Tools
Another workshop essential is your collection of small hand tools. Wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and more are a handyman’s bread and butter. You need them for nearly every project, but it’s very easy for them to become disorganized. When stored in a workbench, it’s not uncommon to open each and every drawer to find the specific tool you need.
The storage solution is to keep your most frequently used hand tools in the open, yet organized. That’s why pegboards are workshop staples; each tool has a home on the pegboard, so it keeps small tools neatly organized and easily findable.
The Metal Pegboard System is a sleek and versatile garage wall organizer that comes with 18 pegboard attachments so you can organize according to your needs. The pegboard panels themselves are constructed from heavy-duty powder-coated steel for the ultimate strength and durability. Once you’ve set up your pegboard, you’ll never have to go searching for a tool ever again.
4. For Long-Handled Yard Tools and Power Tools
Imagine a garage or workshop with tools lining the walls or piled on the floor—power tools, yard tools, and anything else that isn’t tucked away easily. If your space looks anything like this, you probably don’t have enough storage space.
Optimize your space with storage that keeps your tools neat, accessible, and easy to clean around. The Teal Triangle Freestanding Tool Rack can hold your entire collection of long-handled and power tools. Its freestanding design allows you to set it up anywhere, and move it if needed. It also doesn’t require drilling into your wall, so it’s renter-friendly.
The rack can hold up to 300 lbs of upright storage, holding a large amount of tools in a small amount of space. Organize everything from line trimmers and extension cords to ladders and rakes. The rack is incredibly versatile in both use and setup: arrange the included attachments in the configuration that works best for your collection of tools.
This is a staple piece that anyone with long tools needs to keep their workshop in the best working condition. Stop wasting time searching for tools and reorganizing, and invest in storage that works.
5. For Long-Handled Tools
The BLAT Tool Rack serves a similar purpose: it organizes long-handled tools and more. However, the benefit of this rack is that it comes in one piece—no assembly required—and mounts onto your wall studs for extreme heavy-duty tool storage.
Though they both have their benefits, the Teal Triangle Freestanding Tool Rack takes some time to put together while the BLAT Tool Rack can be installed and ready for use in minutes. The tool rack you choose depends on your needs and preferences. And, you could use both racks in the same space for different purposes.
6. For Cleaning Supplies
When working in your shop, it’s common to end up with oil spills, gluey fingers, and other types of messes. When an emergency strikes, you don’t want to have to go inside to fetch your supplies for cleanup. It’s much more convenient to keep essentials nearby, including paper towels and rags, in addition to different types of sprays.
Keep it all organized with a cleaning station. The Quick Clean Station is a wall-mounted rack with a paper towel rod that can serve as your home base for workshop cleanup. Instead of running inside to get cleaning supplies, you can keep them right where the messes happen.
The Quick Clean Station is also a versatile shelf setup for car wash, gardening, pet care, and auto care supplies—or anything else you can think of. Its size makes it a great addition to any space, small or large. The Quick Clean Station is the way to collect and centralize all your cleaning supplies that sit disorganized on a shelf. Never again will you have to go off searching for a spray bottle when you need it!
7. For Compact Tool Storage
Every workshop has a few essential items that are difficult to store. Finding a way to keep them items organized is the difference between a space to work in and an organized, efficient, and enviable workshop.
The Tool Max Single is a storage solution that can help you take your space to the next level. It is a compact, minimalist wall hook that fits easily in any small space where you need a little extra storage: between two doorways, by the garage door, in the space between windows, and more.
And, the possibilities for what to store on it are endless. It works well as a home base for your set of frequently used tools. But, it can also be a space to store items that would other be leaned against your workshop wall due to lack of appropriate storage: ladders, brooms, buckets, and more. Raising your tools off the ground helps a space look more intentional, and the Tool Max Single can help you achieve that.
8. For Miscellaneous Organization
The last piece every workshop needs is a shelf system to help you organize items off the ground. It’s very common for a workshop or garage to have miscellaneous items like paint cans and toolboxes sitting on the floor—often because there isn’t storage that makes sense.
The Teal Triangle G-Shelf is a modular shelf mounted on an adjustable track system. It’s perfect for storing heavy-duty items since it holds 100 lbs per shelf. Make your shop project-ready with a shelf to organize the last of your items.
