Organizing a functional workshop can feel like a lot of work, but fear not, fellow DIY warrior!🔨

 

 

With the right Workshop Organizing products, you can transform your workshop from chaotic to functional in no time. 

In fact, here are five of our favorite Workshop Organizing products that will truly make a big impact.

 

1. Hooks

 

First are hooks! Hooks are the secret superheroes of any organizing project and can be particularly useful in workshop organization. Hooks can hold just about anything you throw at them (well, hang on them). Here’s why they should be your new best friends.

Hooks are Space Savers. Free up that precious workbench and floor space by hanging your tools. Think of it as vertical zen.

Hooks increase accessibility. Tools at your fingertips, no more playing hide and seek with your smaller items!

Finally, Hooks are customizable. Move them around whenever you get that urge to redecorate your workshop.

 

Hook Hacks

 

• Use large hooks for heavyweight champs like sledgehammers and garden tools.
• Install small hooks near your workbench for MVPs like hammers, wrenches, and scissors.
• Try installing a system like FasTrak that allows for full customization with a multitude of different hook types.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Pegboards

 

Next are Pegboards. Pegboards aren’t just for your grandma’s kitchen anymore. These perforated powerhouses lets you unleash your inner artist while organizing. Here’s why a pegboard is the ultimate power wall.

First off, Pegboards are versatile. Arrange hooks, shelves, and bins in any crazy configuration your heart desires.

Pegboards create visibility. With everything on display, you’ll always know what’s in stock and what’s missing.

Pegboards have expandability. As your tool collection grows, so can your pegboard masterpiece.

Pegboard Pointers

 

• Paint it funky colors to match your workshop’s vibe. Because, who said organizing can’t be stylish?
• Use pegboard accessories like baskets and mini shelves for those oddly shaped items.
• Create zones for different tools. For example, create hammer haven, a screwdriver sanctuary, or a plier palace.

 

 

 

3. Storage Shelving

 

Additionally, there is storage shelving. Shelving is the bread and butter of workshop organization. These sturdy shelves can hold all your big, heavy tools and supplies. Here’s why shelving is a big deal.

Obviously, shelving creates organization. Gives everything a home, making your workshop look like a pro’s paradise.

Shelving increases accessibility. Open shelves mean no more mystery boxes and therefore everything is right there for the taking.

Finally, shelving boosts maximization. Stack ‘em high! Use that vertical space to your advantage.

 

Shelving Strategies

 

• Get shelves that allow you to adjust the height of each tier. Then you can fit all your funky sized tools and machines in one place. 
• Label shelves to make sure everything goes back to its rightful place.
• Use clear bins on shelves because it makes it easy to see what’s inside without playing the guessing game.

 

 

 

4. Drawers

 

Of course, we have drawers. Drawers are like the hidden gems of your workshop because they keep everything neatly tucked away yet easily accessible when you need it. Plus you can easily label them!

Drawers improve your clutter control. Keep those pesky little items out of sight and out of mind.

Drawers hold a large variety of items. Try a heavy duty tool bench for heavy or clunky items, or a bunch of tiny drawers to separate all your screws. 

Lastly, Drawers create security. Lockable drawers for the win! keeping your valuable or dangerous tools safe and sound.

 

Drawer Details

 

• • Drawer organizers and dividers are your new best friend. They are perfect for keeping your small parts from rolling around, and your bigger items from crashing into each other. 
  • Assign drawers for different tool types. That way, you know where to go when you’re looking for something specific. 
  • Go the extra mile with labels on the outside. Never wonder where that Phillips head went again.

 

 

 

 

5. Waterproof Totes

 

Finally, waterproof totes are the knights in shining armor of the organizing world. They keep your stuff safe from the elements, no matter how rough things get. Here’s why totes are totes amazing.

Most importantly, totes create protection. Keep your tools and supplies safe from the elements. Regardless of water, dust, and dirt, you won’t have any rusty wrenches!

Totes generate portability. Totes are easy to transport, making them great for mobile workshops or outdoor projects.

Waterproof totes are durable. Built to last, these totes can handle whatever your workshop throws at them.

 

Totes Tips

 

• Clear totes for the win! See what’s inside without opening every single one.
• Label totes for quick identification, especially if they’re stacked or stored up high.
• Use different sizes for different needs. For example, small totes for bits and pieces and  large totes for power tools.
