Tool and DIY storage ideas

Tool storage has an unusual success test: can you find the right tool, use it, and put it back without thinking? Any system that fails the "put it back" half will decay into a pile within a month, which is why open, visible, one-motion storage consistently beats neat closed boxes in real workshops.

The second consideration is safety and condition. Sharp edges, lithium batteries, solvent-based paint and propane all have storage requirements that are not optional. Where those apply, the pages below say so explicitly rather than leaving it to assumption.
