The best way to store tools in the garage

Good tool storage keeps everything visible, within reach, and easy to return. A mix of a tool wall and enclosed storage usually works best.

Visible for daily tools

A pegboard or slatwall near the bench keeps frequently-used tools in sight and in reach.

Enclosed for the rest

Cabinets protect tools from dust and keep sharp or hazardous items secured.

Make returning easy

Tracing tool outlines and grouping by task means tools actually go back where they belong.
