Keep reading to find out all the tool storage ideas I used to clear this clutter! Use a Pull-out Tie Rack Store wrenches and paint brushes on a pull-out tie rackĪ pull-out tie rack* is a compact way to store tools (like wrenches) that are long and narrow and have a hole for hanging.īecause you can pull it out, you can store more in a space that might not be usable otherwise…and the tie racks are less expensive than buying pegboard hooks for all of those wrenches! Hang pull out tie racksīecause I am using a wire shelf as part of my tool organization (read on to see more about that), I was able to hang the tie racks directly from there.

It worked perfectly for that space…but now that I have a double-car garage, it definitely needed an upgrade! My little tiny apartment-sized pegboard has been with me since I lived in a townhouse where the only storage space was under the stairs. The original pegboard space was way too small And I could never find those leftover bits if I needed to use them for another project (so I usually ended up buying another one…which added to the clutter). I very rarely got to use it for anything because it was always covered with the leftover bits from my previous projects. Just so you know where I started…this was my old workbench. Having completed quite a few DIY projects since then, I’m happy to report that I finally came up with some tool storage solutions that actually work! The best part? They are all really inexpensive to do! So a couple of years ago, when I implemented some creative tool storage ideas that would make my DIY fold-down workbench more efficient, I wasn’t sure if they would be successful in the long term. And I have to say I’ve had a few failed attempts 🙂 To me the success or failure of any tool storage plan is whether or not I actually put the tools back where they are supposed to go. It seems like I am always trying to find ways to organize my tools so that they are easy to find…and even more important? Easy to put away. For more information, click here to see our disclosures.
