Garage Organization: 3 must have products

GarageI recently completed a long overdue cleanup and organization project in my garage.  In so doing I came across three products that I found exceptionally useful.

All of these products are not uncommon in existing garages today, but I found that there are a lot of choices when it comes to quality, form factor, price and overall utility.

1. The first product is a conventional roll-away tool cabinet.  My collection of tools had grown considerably in recent years, so much so that they were being stored on the garage floor - hardly a convenient option.  The tool cabinet is a widely available Craftsman model from Sears.  It has ball-bearing drawer glides to allow easy, reliable access to the tools, and the sturdy wheels enable me to move the unit around the garage when necessary.

2. The second must have product for me is heavy duty shelves.  My interest was in getting some of my larger tools off the floor to free up additional space.  I decided on the product from HyLoft.  The shelves have a maximum capacity of 150 pounds each, and install via low profile brackets directly into the wall studs.  I moved my 12″ miter saw and pancake compressor to the shelves and they work great!

3.  The third product in my new system of organization is a peg board.  I’m not referring to a conventional wood pressed peg board, but a solid unit I acquired from Diamond Life.  They have a multitude of options depending on one’s particular application.  I selected one 2×4 panel and one 48″ strip.  Each unit holds 1/2 ton!  They are easy to install by screwing directly into the wall studs.  They are sturdy and they look great.
