I was tired of digging my power tools out of drawers that usually became a jumbled mess or getting each tool out of it’s plastic case. This has become a quicker and easier way to grab and go with the tool I need. The shelves are half inch plywood (24X16). Pine edge banding and oak buttons. Every tool fits in it’s own slot on the shelf. Room to grow towards the top with the most commonly used tools on the middle shelves….....

Organization makes you feel good, and helps reduce stress when looking for that tool you need immediately…

Great idea!
One question though – I have heard it mentioned that storing a drill like that with the battery in it has enough weight to actually cause it to no longer spin “true”. In other words, it would have a camber to the bit when it spun. Anyone ever hear of this happening?

Norm’s Back!! :-) Actually I need to get organized like this. I don’t know if what Bob says is true, but the drills did look a little ominous to me when I first saw them also.

Great idea. Don’t remove too many at once though. It will take forever to figure out where they go. LOL

Nice job, very cool. I tried this but then everything is dusty LOL. I just put in a dedicated Dust Collection System which has cut down the mess ten fold. I have to agree on the drills I always sit mine str8 up on the battery. Will be interesting to hear what you think.

This is a very good idea. I made a bunch of “pigeon holes” for my hand held power tools but this approach would allow me to get more tools into less space. Note – I now have more tools than pigeon holes.

Mike, This looks like a great way to organize the power tools and quickly grab them. I am contemplating a bit of a shop remodel, thanks for posting a good idea.
