The different types of tool storage

We have a few types of tool storage systems that you can choose depending on your tool type and storage needs. Choosing the right tool storage system is crucial in enhancing workflow processes and prolonging the lifespan of your tools. Below, we take a closer look at the most common tool storage systems.

Tool cabinets

Tool storage cabinets are ideal for storage of a large collection of tools. They come with a variety of tray and drawer configurations to help you store both bulky tools and small accessories, ensuring your workstation is clutter-free. Cabinets with extendable and deep drawers are best suited for storing bulky tools. On the other hand, shallow drawers are ideal for holding smaller tools and accessories. To prevent tools from sliding around, choose a cabinet with padded drawers. Some cabinets come with caster wheels, making it easier to move them around your workspace. 

Toolboxes

If you're looking for a storage solution that will allow you to tote around your tools, then a toolbox will make a great choice. They are just what you need to get your tools to the next project site. You can also use them in your workstation to reduce clutter. Toolboxes often come with removable bins, cantilever trays, and drawers that allow you to conveniently access all the tools you need. You may also find options that are equipped with wheels, making it easier to bring along heavier equipment.

Tool bags

Tool bags allow you to store and carry smaller tools. They come with straps and a carry handle for easy and comfortable tool carrying, as well as internal/exterior pockets for organising different tools and convenient access to tools you use regularly. Most tool bags have adjustable shoulder straps and padded handles for extra comfort. The main compartment offers sufficient storage for larger tools like hammers, pliers, and drills. If you're looking for added visibility of your tools, choose options with a mouth design. For hand-free portability, opt for a backpack tool bag. Rolling tool bags with extendable handles allow you to transport your tools with minimal effort.

Tool belts

As the name suggests, tool belts are wearable tool storage solutions strapped around the waist. They are designed for storing tools you need access to at all times. They offer convenient storage, ensuring your most frequently used tools are within arm's length. Tool belts come with heavy-duty fabric and are available in different configurations as well as a number of loops and pockets.

What tool storage materials are available?

Our collection includes tool storage systems in different materials. The material used in the construction of a tool storage system has an impact on the level of durability and protection it offers. Below, we look at the various materials you can choose.

Metal tool storage

Tool storage systems made from metal are stronger and longer lasting than other materials. Aluminium and steel are the most common options because they are rust-resistant and durable. Our aluminium tool storage is lightweight, making it a great choice for portable systems. On the other hand, steel is heavier and sturdier, making it ideal for storing heavier tools.

Plastic tool storage

Lightweight, rust-resistant and cheaper, plastic tool storage systems are one of the most popular options on the market. Often constructed from high-grade plastic, these toolboxes will last for years, providing maximum protection in some of the toughest working environments. Plastic is also lightweight and you may find options that combine steel and plastic.

Fabric tool storage 

Tool bags and tool belts are made from fabric to give them maximum flexibility and portability. The durability of the tool storage system depends on the stitching quality and density of the fabric. The most popular fabric materials are polyester and canvas.

How to maintain your tool storage system

While tool storage systems are meant to be tough and hardy, keeping them clean and well-maintained is crucial in extending their lifespan. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

• Use an all-purpose cleaning solution to clean the outside of the tool storage system.

• Clean the inside using a paint thinner like turpentine, xylene, or acetone. These solvents will get rid of any oil and dirt from tools that may have accumulated there.

• Keep the hinges, drawers, and wheels well-lubricated to prevent squeaking as well as to allow for easy movement.

• Wash your fabric tool storage based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Some options are hand-washed, while others can be machine-washed.
