Tool Storage
Tool storage has always been a problem not only for households but also for workshops and professional laborers. Where can one store the tools. What if one wants a portable storage or a fixed storage? Many such questions crop up. The answer to this is tool storage.
Many tool storage devices exist. Some of these are:
Tool Bags are handy portable storage kits that are used to carry light to medium weight tools. They are used by plumbers, carpenters, etc. They are made of fabric (canvas or other) that withstands abuse. The bags feature wide openings that stay open for easy access. They include exterior pockets and interior pockets, as well as outside web and buckle straps for a level or long-handled tool and a loop for storing duct tape and keys.
Tool boxes are portable wooden or metal boxes that are used to carry heavier tools as compared to tool bags. They are designed to stand up to the rigors of the job site. They include quick-access storage areas on both sides and lid-access storage with snap-shut closures. The handles and side grips are generally covered by rubber.
Tool belts and organizers are also used. These come in the forms of belts with hoops to fasten the tools while one is working providing easy access to the tool one requires instead of hunting for it in bags and boxes.
A pegboard allows you to organize tools and parts by pegging them onto a pegboard with hooks or hangers attached. The tools can hang from these. Pegboards are generally fixed but one does get portable ones too.
Storage Chests are immovable tool storage devices. These are for protecting valuable tools and for storing heavy tools. Thus they come with a secure lock and hard exterior which is tough to pry open. The chests are firmly welded or constructed for greater strength and stability. These also are either compartmentalized for greater efficiency for locating type of tools. Some come with wheels attached to enable smother movement if needed.
Tool Cabinets are suited for machining centers and metalworking shops. They can store drills, taps, reamers, fasteners, hand tools, cutting tools, and more. The cabinets have a heavy load capacity and are stable due to heavy and broad base. They generally are either opened on a drawer based style or a door based styled. Some are merely crude shelves as well.
Tool Towers are also used as storage devices for tools.
Thus as one can see storing tools is easier when considers these options and tool storage no longer becomes a headache.
