Storage of tools on the wall. Self-arrangement and storage of tools in the garage Device for placing tools in the garage

Good day, brainwashes! A workshop when it is in disarray is not a workshop at all. And this article is devoted to the topic of “organizing” the tool, in which I collected 9 not quite ordinary ways to store under hand tools for your brain workshop. I guarantee that they will fit any instrument that has ever existed on planet Earth!

In the fall of 2015, I created The Ultimate Magnetic Pegboard, but as time passed and I acquired even more tools, that meant I needed another one. homemade for organized storage of this very tool. In this brain leadership I'll tell you about some of the devices with which I equipped the new board with the tool.

So, let's go!

Step 1: Is the kitchen towel dispenser not a clip holder?

My grandma gave me a paper towel dispenser and I decided to put it to use. The stem of this dispenser was plastic and did not support the weight of the clamps, so I replaced it with a metal guide from the old one brain printer, which I cut to the length I needed* and using epoxy resin I glued the mounts to it on the sides.

When mounting this resulting clamp bar onto the board, I used small wood spacers to create more space and make it easier to remove/engage these clamps. Please note that the clamps are quite heavy, so the more screws you use when attaching the crossbar, the more secure it will be.

Honestly, this method of storing clamps is much simpler than all other options for clamp bars.

* I cut the guide almost half as long as I needed, so that there was room for others brain clamps which I plan to purchase in the near future.

My kitchen towel dispenser bar holds:

• 3 15cm clothespin clips
• 10cm clamp
• 5cm clamp.

And there is room for many more to come soon!

Step 2: What about zip ties and not holders?

Tie ties have a wide range of uses, so why not use them as holders? I drilled a couple of holes in the storage board, threaded a clamp through them (the size of which depends on the size of the tool that is planned to be placed in it), and tightened it with reverse side boards and inserted the tool. It's simple!

So brain way You can store a soldering iron, a drill and much more! If you plan to place a heavier tool (for example a drill) this way, then it would be more advisable to use a metal clamp.

With the help of “clamp holders” I store:

• large metal tweezers (because they don’t “stick” to the magnet)
• small plastic tweezers.

Step 3: What about the heatsink?

This idea came to me in November 2015, and I implemented it to accommodate my plastic tweezers by mounting this holder directly on the wall above the Magnetic Board. I attached the radiator with double-sided tape so that its fins were vertical, and hung tweezers on them, with some of the fins acting as dividers!

I “obtained” this radiator from my game console, about which there is even a whole brainstorming.
My “radiator” holder contains:

• 5 different plastic ESD tweezers.

Step 4: Magnets in action!

I'm assuming you've already seen my Ultimate Magnetic Pegboard, if not, I encourage you to check it out!

And in my new tool storage board, I also used magnets, “mined” from the speakers, which I glued to it with hot glue. This type of holder is quite easy to make, you just need to understand in what place brainboards each instrument will be placed.

With the help of my “magnetic” holders the following can be stored:

• large roughing plane
• small roughing plane
• large needle nose pliers
• wire cutters
• flat needle nose pliers
• curved needle nose pliers
• regular needle nose pliers
• carpenter's punch.

Step 5: Don't forget about screw-in straight hooks

Of the screw-in hooks, I prefer those bent at a right angle; they better hold a massive tool, for example, the large rasp with a massive handle shown in the photo, but even its size does not help rounded hooks hold the rasp.

But straight hooks make it very easy to store your tool, try this one brainpower and find out what we are talking about!

This is not visible in the photo, but I also screwed in the hooks from the bottom, as “locks” that prevent the saw from falling out, no matter what.

My “hook” holders hold:

• brushes (no, I don’t paint, they serve me for something else)
• large rasp
• big file
• hacksaw
• and my microscope- homemade .

Step 6: And the foam will come in handy

You may not believe it, but I used foam to store the drill bits. It is very soft, lightweight and easy to cut, making it great for storing small tools, such as drills, needle files, small screwdrivers, pencils, etc.!

About how I built a foam drill holder I created a separate brainstorming.

A similar storage device can be made from wood, while the foam will serve good material for a prototype like this crafts.

Step 7: And of course small shelves!

A device called the “French plank” is certainly “cool”, but to my regret, I do not have the opportunity to do this.

So I decided to attach the board to the storage board at a 90 degree angle using small corners.

On my “mini-shelf” are placed:

• my homemade magnetic silicone pads for the vise jaws (because I decided not to use them on the vise anymore)
• two different sharpening stones
• nail cutters (although tin snips may be better for this purpose)
• multitool the size of a credit card
• flashlight in the form of a telephone.

Step 8: Even a toilet paper roll has a use!

I have to admit, the idea is really strange...

I cut a hole in the paper roll, then cut it in half and attached it to the board.
I now use this device only for storing my mallet - homemade products, it weighs little and the “paper” holder only bends slightly. Obviously, this method will not work for a heavier instrument...

Step 9: Another “mini shelf”, but with holes

To create this brain holder I was inspired by one recently.

The garage space is often combined with a workshop. The tool storage system in the garage should be thoughtful. Ready-made designs GOSNITI are considered optimal.

A home craftsman who wants to save money will need to make tool racks in the garage scrap materials. Complex mechanisms equipped with moving elements, it is forbidden just store it.

To do correct placement tools in the garage and put things in order, there are the following options storage organization:

• on shelves;
• on racks;
• in closets;
• at stands;
• on the shields.

There are shelves of various modifications:

• mounted;
• closed;
• stationary;
• mobile.

For their production they are used various materials such as metal or tree. For small parts required hanging shelves. They are usually located at chin level of the garage owner. If the inventory has to use often, would be better suited for him open structures, and in closed ones they store unnecessary things.

See how you can do it interesting option DIY garage tool storage:

Direct competitors of mobile shelves are movable boxes. The device has specialized containers for tools.

Factory tool racks in the garage are made in accordance with GOST. These ergonomic designs are easy to make with your own hands. To store large units or tires, you will need large racks.

If you want to make a tool cabinet in the garage with your own hands, then there should be special drawers or bags. This storage allows to avoid dust ingress. Can also be used rationally side walls. Using special mounts for tools, a place in the garage is equipped for securing the plane. On the doors you can place holders made from pieces of rubber hose.

A skilled craftsman will make a tool stand in the garage with his own hands. The material for its manufacture is chipboard sheet. Additionally, they are used as tool holders metal canned food cans.

How to store tools in the garage?

A convenient storage place is considered shield, or storage panel, or simply tool board in garage. Screwdrivers are attached to them, spanners, pliers. To make a tool shield in the garage with your own hands, use solid boards and durable hooks. The equipment depends on the master’s own preferences.

How to place a tool on the wall in the garage - photo:

As you can see in the photo, storing tools in the garage with your own hands is not at all difficult. All you need is desire and a little patience.

Storing keys with tools on the garage wall

How to mount a tool on a wall in a garage? The optimal tool storage system in the garage involves the use of the entire wall area.

1. After installing the horizontal guides, hang them sections-shelves. Small things like nails and screws can be placed in plastic jars that contained mayonnaise or horseradish. Their lids are screwed to the shelves.
2. Can be made for nuts, washers, scissors and for keys stand in the garage with your own hands. Special loops are made made of wire. Washers and nuts are threaded onto the split ends, and the dimensions of the fittings are indicated on cardboard labels. Scissors with keys are hung on metal hooks.
3. For drills, cutters and storing keys in the garage, attach to the wall foam pad. They are firmly fixed in elastic material and can be easily removed from it if necessary.
4. Another method of securing tools in the garage is disposable plastic plates. If you cut them into two equal parts, you get blanks. Then they are attached to the wall using self-tapping screws. The resulting pockets are used to store circular saws or grinding wheels.
5. It is recommended to use clamps for storing rectangular plywood box. It is attached to the wall and after that the handles of the clamps are placed in it.
6. Durable wall mounts are designed to store bikes. Their base must be metal.
7. To avoid losing your screwdriver the right size, they are used for storage magnetic holder. Then they are always in sight.
8. From hooks with paper clips, a craftsman will quickly make device for cloths, intended for strip slabs.

A convenient panel option for storing tools in the garage that does not take up much space:

Practical storage systems for the garage or workshop.
For many people, the garage is not only a place to store a car, but also a real automotive, metalworking and carpentry workshop. Therefore, it is important that everything is always at hand and in the right place. But sometimes it’s so difficult to understand the variety of screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, drills and other utensils that are stored in “men’s Eden.” This review contains simple and yet effective ideas that will help you create almost ideal storage systems in your garage.

1. Magnetic tape

Magnetic tape for storing small items metal parts.

Magnetic tape glued to the wall in the garage can be used to store drills, scissors, bolts, nuts and other small metal parts. This magnetic holder is very convenient to use and will help prevent the loss of small but important spare parts.

2. Plastic containers

Rack made of plastic containers.

From large plastic containers and pieces of wood, you can build a large rack for storing tools, wires, spare parts and any other things. Organizing such a rack will allow you to restore order and significantly save space in your workshop or garage.

3. Rails

Rails for garbage bags and paper towels.

On one of the free walls of the garage you can place several small roof rails, on which you can conveniently place rolls of garbage bags, paper towels, sandpaper, tape, skeins of rope and much more.

4. Furniture brackets

Brackets for storing furniture.

Many summer residents use the garage to store folding outdoor furniture. So that it does not stand in the corners and does not take up much space, make a vertical rack for it with wooden or metal brackets and screw it to one of the free walls.

5. Jars

Storage of nails, bolts, screws and other small items.

Bolts, nuts, nails, self-tapping screws, screws and other small things do not take up much space, but storing them mixed is extremely inconvenient. Jars with lids screwed to the bottom of a wall cabinet or under the desktop will help you put these things in order.

6. Ceiling grille

Grid for storing pipes and baseboards.

A plastic grid screwed into the corner of the garage under the ceiling is ideal for storing leftovers. water pipes, skirting boards, profiles and other long things. Such a storage system will help significantly save space in the garage and prevent possible breakdowns of fragile building materials.

7. Organizer for screwdrivers

Wooden organizer for screwdrivers.

Small practical organizer for screwdrivers, which any man can make by simply drilling the required number of small holes in a block of wood. This product can be hung on one of the walls of the garage or workshop to store all the screwdrivers in one place.

8. Vertical storage systems

Vertical panels for storing things.

Some perforated panels made of metal or plywood under a table or in a cabinet will provide an ergonomic and convenient place for vertical storage of small hand tools.

9. Plastic pipes

Storage systems made of PVC pipes.

Remains of PVC pipes different diameters can be used to create the most different systems storage For example, pieces of wide pipe screwed to the bottom of the cabinet are suitable for storing a screwdriver, drill and other tools of this type. From pieces of medium-diameter PVC pipes you can make cells for storing various sprays, polyurethane foam, tubes of paint and other containers.

10. Tassels

Hanging storage for brushes.

It is very convenient to store paint brushes and spatulas suspended on a thin wire or on a thin steel rod.

11. Rack for garden tools

Wooden rack for garden tools.

To garden tools did not take up a good third of the garage space, store it on a special rack screwed to one of the walls. You can make such a rack with your own hands from blocks of wood, wooden pallet or pieces of plastic pipes.

12. Multifunctional rack

Pallet rack with shelves.

Wooden pallet complemented by shelves made of pieces wooden slats, will become a functional component of the garage and will help to place a huge amount of hand tools and small ones in one place.

13. Rod holder

Fishing rod storage.

A simple wire lattice can be used to create a convenient fishing rod holder. Such a storage system can be fixed under the ceiling so that it does not take up space below and does not get underfoot during the autumn-winter season.

14. Pegboard

Yesterday in the comments to the post, I was deservedly accused of skirting the topic of storage car tires and tools. All cosmetics, jewelry, towels, hair dryers, chemicals and toilet paper.

And it’s absolutely fair. Over the 6 years of the community's existence, we have only had one post. I'm correcting myself.

What do most women think? IN best case scenario, that for tools one shelf under the ceiling in the most inconspicuous place is enough, in the worst case, that one small box, donated for February 23, is enough for them. And when planning closets, they think only about handbags, shoes and clothes.

But we know that this is not so. Look how beautiful cabinets can be!

And in the same nightstand under the sink in plastic containers there could be wrenches, hammers and pliers lying around!

Did you succumb to persuasion, reduce the size of the sanitary cabinet box and leave the micro-door? In vain! See how much space you could have to store your essentials:

In some cases, you can still fix something (the main thing is to dot all the i's right away - this cabinet is not for storing soap and toilet paper):

The second place, which sometimes manages to be won (if it is not previously occupied by winter Garden or a cabinet for storing jams and pickles) - balcony:

If you're lucky, you'll have room to lay out the essentials:

Although we all know, there would be much more space in the hall and it would be more comfortable to work:

And what wonderful cabinets you can hang in the hallway instead of key holders!

The main thing is not to forget - if you rarely use it, it is better to keep the cabinet closed. Dusty screwdrivers don't look brutal.

Similar hanging cabinet can become a decoration for your office:

Don't forget to take advantage of achievements and developments. For example, magnetic strips very convenient for storing metal objects.

In the comments they reminded about magnetic plates so that little things do not get lost during work:

And shelves strictly calculated according to the width of what needs to be stored. AND hanging holders for the tool. And jars with a fixed lid.

The range of tool boxes is also not limited to Chinese plastic. I recommend paying attention to wooden (okay, plywood) portable organizers.

Hanging shelves

An inexpensive solution, but if desired, such a shelf can be easily made from a piece of wood by drilling the number of holes required for your set of tools.
Typically, such shelves serve as decoration for balconies and garages.
Don't choose too much beautiful shelf, otherwise it can easily be used for storing art brushes or toothbrushes.

Boards with perforation (pegboards)

A universal solution for everything, which is appreciated by masters around the world.
Unfortunately, until now we have only paid attention to them and the storage of handicrafts. But they look great with the instrument:

Don't forget to make doors where dust can accumulate. It cannot always be justified by the love of grinding and working with dry mixtures.

To store tools, you can use the same ideas that were often mentioned for creating a work office at home - shelves, pull-out shelves, storage space above and below the tabletop:

Freestanding mobile workshops

Please note, these designs are even more interesting serving tables and much more functional than any kitchen island (what I mean is that you need to set your priorities correctly):

By the way, excellent mobile work islands can be made from the very ordinary desk (I'm sure your child does his homework at the kitchen table anyway):

Such a cabinet will bring more benefits than:

Don’t forget about ceiling solutions (similar ones were used for) and vertical storage solutions (we used the idea for storing cutting boards):

The industry is also not limited to plastic containers:

I hope this post was useful to you (personally, I think that it is the most useful in the entire 6-year history of the community. While I was writing it, I learned a lot of new things).

How do you store your tools?

PS Every joke has some humor in it (c) folk wisdom

Organizing space in the garage is as important a part of its arrangement as insulation, finishing and protection from intruders. This room always serves as a workshop and storage room, where tools, gardening and construction equipment, tourist and fishing equipment, and summer supplies for the winter are kept.

All the good stuff not only needs to be stored somewhere, but rationally placed in the garage for convenient use, especially if the building is small. Besides, proper storage tools in the garage will protect you from accidents.

Let's start with how you can simplify putting things in order. Of course, you need to determine which items you use most often. Perhaps some have not been used for a long time and are lying “dead weight”? Next tip– group some things into sets, and collect multifunctional tools in a separate container.

Let's consider the main options for placing garage equipment using building space:

• shelves (closed, hanging, stationary, mobile);
• racks;
• cabinets;
• stands;
• shields;
• stands;
• roof rails;
• magnetic tapes;
• boxes.

Shelves are mainly made of metal or wood. Wall shelves designed for small objects, so they are placed just below eye level. It is especially advisable to use removable shelves.

Open models are suitable for frequent use. When creating a closet, it is worth equipping it drawers. On the doors and side walls you can install mounts for all kinds of tools, devices, and power tools.

Cans and bags fit perfectly on metal mesh. For laying pipes, plywood boards, scraps of plastic and drywall, you can build a wall rack, a workbench, or a rack from a ladder.

Small parts - nails, screws, bolts, nuts, self-tapping screws - will find their place in the trimmed plastic canisters. It’s also very easy to create your own stand (dial pad) for holding screwdrivers in a vertical position: build wooden frame and make holes.

A great way to avoid getting tangled in multiple terminals and wires is to use a clothesline. Some items can be placed using clothes racks or stored in modern folding drawers. Foam pads are mounted for easy placement of keys, cutters, and drills.

Of the most original options– storage on the ceiling using a D- or C-shaped suspension fixed on a special rail.

Storing keys with tools on the garage wall

The most rational way to store tools in the garage is to use free space on the walls.

So, wall systems contents:

• shield (stand);
• shelf;
• retractable panels;
• railing;
• magnetic tape;
• horizontal bracket;
• screwdriver holder;
• pockets made of plastic plates;
• holders.

The above methods can be used both on their own and in the overall system.

What do we need?

Since the structure of the storage area is quite easily modified, here is a general list of materials:

• perforated fiberboard sheet or chipboard;
• wooden beams;
• screws, self-tapping screws, dowels, brackets;
• metal loops;
• washers;
• hooks;
• drill/screwdriver;
• drill;
• hacksaw;
• sander;
• level, square, ruler, tape measure;
• boards.

Instructions

A step-by-step plan for some storage ideas.

Stand (shield/pegboard):

1. We assemble a frame of a certain size from wooden slats.
2. We cut out a rectangular base with the same parameters from the sheet and place it on the frame.
3. We lay the washers and secure the stand with self-tapping screws.
4. We fix two loops on the back side of the frame.
5. We attach hooks, magnetic tapes, wire loops, fabric pockets, glasses for brushes, special mounts for devices, etc. - we organize the space inside.

1. Design drawing.
2. Preparing fabric for side walls and shelves.
3. Processing with a grinder.
4. Coating the workpiece with fire retardant impregnation.
5. Assembling the structure: the bottom sheet is placed on a flat surface, the same distance is measured on it and parallel lines are drawn.
6. A smaller distance is measured at the top and bottom of each line and marks are placed.
7. A hole is drilled at each of the 4 points.
8. The same thing is done with the top sheet.
9. The left end part is attached to the bottom shelf, connected with self-tapping screws. Then install the right end board.
10. The upper shelf is placed in the created structure and fixed through the holes.
11. Brackets are mounted to the back surface of the end boards from above.
12. The shelf is aligned with the wall and the dowels are screwed in.

Distances and proportions depend on the parameters of the materials.

Railing system:

1. The brackets are attached to the wall with self-tapping screws.
2. A crossbar is inserted into the holes of the brackets and secured with a screw.
3. Caps are placed at the ends of the cornice.

Wall-mounted screwdriver holder:

1. Strengthening a piece of plywood with an elastic band or metal spring stretched over it on the wall.
2. Additional fixation of the base with staples, the formation of “loops” for storing available tools.

Pockets made from disposable plates:

1. We create the blank: cut the plate in half.
2. We mount it on the wall using self-tapping screws.

For strength, you can stack several plates.

Inventory holders:

1. We do it on plastic pipe oblique cuts.
2. We polish.
3. We fix it to the wall with screws.

Universal horizontal bracket:

1. Mark points for installation on the surface.
2. We fasten the dowels.
3. We install the brackets.
4. Supports with hooks are screwed onto the screws of the brackets.
5. We fix them in the required position with a key.

The article contains the most common options rational storage tools that provide significant space savings. We offer absolutely different ways: from elementary and auxiliary to voluminous, requiring effort and time.

Undoubtedly, you will find a suitable location for everything functional and for what is left “in reserve”, without becoming Plyushkin.
