\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

With the uptick of home maintenance and repair, organizing your tools is becoming an important topic. There are a variety of tools to use regularly, as well as a variety of storage methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assess your tools<\/h3>\n

Tools are a part of family memories. My husband owns tools handed down from his dad and grand dad, and passes these to our grand kids. That means there are many of the same tools and multiple tools doing the same job in our home.\u00a0 I recommend grouping your tools together by use to know what you have and how many. We sorted these tools into what to keep and what to sell. Tools are a popular item to sell online. Now that these are grouped you are ready to think about how to store your items.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quick Assess Storage: Tool Drawer<\/h3>\n

We want to tap a nail into the wall to hang a picture or unscrew a batter compartment quickly.\u00a0 Having a tool drawer in your kitchen or laundry room would be the spot to store these tools.\u00a0 The tools stored here are a hammer, two kinds of screw drivers of multiple size heads, and other frequently used tools.\u00a0 Having a drawer organizer helps keep items together and organized. (Note: the pencil space is where I would store the tools.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mobile Assess: Tool box<\/h3>\n

Mobile assess to multiple tools helps you complete a home repair.\u00a0 A tool box has a variety of storage for a larger number of tools that you frequently use.\u00a0 This box can be stored in the laundry room or garage on a shelf. Inside will be a shallow tray which can hold hardware with tools under the tray.\u00a0 Many families create these small toolboxes for their kids as they start to drive to keep in their cars and as they head to college.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Container Store Tool Chest<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Onsite Assess: Tool chest, Pegboard and Slat wall<\/h3>\n

If you want assess to a larger quantity of tools, you want a larger area to store your items.\u00a0 The Tool chest has drawers to store a single type of tool, such as a drawer of multiple hammers or screwdrivers of different sizes.\u00a0 Each drawer can be labeled on the front to share what is inside the drawer.\u00a0 It is on wheels to move around your space.\u00a0 This is best stored in the garage as it is a large item.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sears<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

For those who have a work bench or wall for hanging tools, Pegboard and Slat wall are outstanding ways to see your tools. These require installation however the benefits are that everyone knows what tools you have, where to find them and where to return them.\u00a0 Often tools that are family shared are easily stored this way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Home<\/a>

Home Depot Slat Wall<\/p><\/div>\n

Our family was fortunate to have a master craftman’s, also known as Papaw, who create an amazing Pegboard system in our garage. We have had this system for years and we all know where to get the hammer and return it.\u00a0 We love to share it with those who come in through our garage. Often people comment on it’s organization!<\/p>\n
