My_name_1s_MUD Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm looking to clean up my workbench area. Tools are strewn everywhere. When I clean up and put everything in my tool box, things are not easily accessible (I have to dig to find stuff). Is there a table top solution to store hand tools like pliers, picks, tweezers, glues, puttys, sanding sticks, screwdrivers, sculpting tools, etc.? Ideally, I'd like something that I could wall mount so I can maximize my work space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My_name_1s_MUD Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks... but I was looking for something that can create space on my desk. Besides those tool caddies often can't handle my larger tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOC262 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 How about a pegboard and a magnetic strip holder like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 There's a toolbox and then there are tool boxes. In my bench top boxes I keep painting supplies and airbrushes (upper) and my tools (lower). The roll cab hold various tools, tapes, sandpaper and other things I need handy yet protected from dirt and debris. Here's my top drawer of my roll cab the quick grab items. Sears makes some good tool boxes, I try to catch them on sale or watch their dented/scratched items. I keep my shop door closed and locked when the little grandkids are around, but if your modeling area isn't secured with a door, you can lock the boxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My_name_1s_MUD Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 How about a pegboard and a magnetic strip holder like this: PERFECT! Thanks... I already have the pegboard, so a couple of those inexpensive magnetic strips would be perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Tool boxes, peg board and magnetic strips only solve part of the problem. You still need the discipline to put the tools and supplies away after your done with them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
