Organization of tool storage. How to equip a workshop - important rules and recommendations How to organize the storage of tools in an apartment

Garage space is often combined with a workshop. The tool storage system in the garage should be thoughtful. Finished structures GOSNITI are considered optimal.

A home craftsman who wants to save money will need improvised materials. Complex mechanisms equipped with movable elements, it is forbidden just store.

To make the correct placement of the tool in the garage and clean up, there are the following options storage organization:

• on shelves;
• on the shelves;
• in cabinets;
• on stands;
• on shields.

There are shelves of various modifications:

• hinged;
• closed;
• stationary;
• mobile.

They are used for their manufacture various materials such as metal or wood. Small parts require hanging shelves. They are usually located at the level of the chin of the owner of the garage. If the inventory has to use often, would be better for him. open structures, and in the closed store unnecessary things.

See how you can do interesting option do-it-yourself garage tool storage:

The direct competitors of mobile shelves are movable boxes. The device has specialized containers for tools.

Factory tool racks in the garage are made in accordance with GOST. These ergonomic designs are easy to make with your own hands. To store large aggregates or tires, you will need large shelving.

If you want to make a tool cabinet in the garage with your own hands, then there should be special drawers or bags. This storage allows to avoid dust ingress. You can also rationally use side walls. With the help of special tool mounts in the garage, a place is equipped for fixing the planer. Can be placed on doors rubber hose holders.

A skilled craftsman will make a do-it-yourself tool stand in the garage. The material for its manufacture is chipboard sheet. Additionally used as tool holders canned metal cans.

How to store tools in the garage?

A convenient place to store shield, or storage panel, or simply tool board in the garage. Screwdrivers are attached to them, spanners, pliers. To make a shield for a tool in the garage with your own hands, use an array of boards and strong hooks. The configuration depends on the personal preferences of the master.

As you can see in the photo, storing a tool in a garage with your own hands is not at all difficult to organize. All you need is desire and a little patience.

Storage of keys with tools on the wall of the garage

How to fix the tool on the wall in the garage? The optimal tool storage system in the garage involves the use of the entire area of ​​the wall.

1. After installing the horizontal guides, they are hung on them. section-shelves. Small things like nails and screws can be put in plastic jars that have had mayonnaise or horseradish. Their lids are screwed to the shelves.
2. Can be made for nuts, washers, scissors and keys stand in the garage by hand. Special loops make wire. Washers with nuts are strung on the split ends, and the dimensions of the fittings are indicated on cardboard labels. Scissors with keys are hung on metal hooks.
3. For drills, cutters and storing keys in the garage, attach to the wall foam pad. They are firmly fixed in the elastic material and can be easily removed from it if necessary.
4. Another method of attaching tools in the garage is disposable plastic plates. If you cut them into two equal parts, you get blanks. Then they are attached to the wall with self-tapping screws. The resulting pockets are used to store saw blades or grinding wheels.
5. For storage of clamps it is recommended to use rectangular plywood box. It is attached to the wall and after that the handles of the clamps are placed in it.
6. Sturdy wall mounts are designed to store bicycles. Their base must be metal.
7. In order not to lose a screwdriver of the right size, they are used for storage magnetic holder. Then they are always visible.
8. From hooks with paper clips, the craftsman will quickly make fixture for cloths intended for tape plates.

A convenient option for a panel for storing tools in the garage, which does not take up much space:

Many men use the garage for more than just parking. Often, tools or old things are stored in the garage, which are a pity to throw away, but there is no place in the apartment for them. Also, the building is often carried out repair or other work that requires tools and dimensional material. Thus, the building often becomes like a warehouse.

Wall or hanging shelves in the garage are a great way to store a lot of things without cluttering up the usable area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room.

Durable and reliable material designed for heavy loads. Metal shelves can withstand a lot of weight, it is convenient to store parts and tools on them. Also, the metal is durable and wear-resistant. If the material is coated with a special composition against corrosion and rust, then structures made of it can serve for many decades.

Unlike metal, wood is more affordable. Easy to process, does not require welding. Wooden shelves can also serve for a long time, the only drawback is the low resistance to changes in temperature and humidity conditions.

To improve the wear resistance and durability of the wooden elements of the shelves, it is required to periodically coat the material with special covering paints. This will help the wood avoid rotting, warping, and pest damage.

Other materials, such as plastic, plywood, stone, are rarely used to make shelves.

Structural variations of suspended shelves

May be open or closed. With or without back wall. Most often, a metal corner and a wooden base are used for the manufacture of such structures. They are hung on the walls with anchors. The type of fastening can be permanent or dismantled.

These designs are made of a metal corner, wooden base, a special cable or a metal round profile fixed to special anchors is used as side walls.

These shelves are hung on special hooks driven or welded into the ceiling beams. The advantages of ceiling shelves are quick dismantling if necessary. Disadvantages - a rather shaky design, which can sway when touched.

It is not recommended to store expensive tools or fragile items on such shelves.

Shelf in the form of a shield for tools

This design is equipped with small shelves for storing small items and special hanging fittings. The shield consists of a solid rear wall fixed in the wall with an anchor. Shelves, special hooks or tool holders are mounted on the wall.

This shelf is very convenient for carpentry and locksmith work. Most often, such a shield is hung in front of a workbench so that all the necessary tools are at hand. Sometimes the shield is equipped with additional lighting in the form of a lamp on a movable leg.

If there is a desire to save the usable area of ​​​​the room, then you can make a hanging shelf with a ceiling mount with your own hands.

Materials required for the manufacture of the structure

Tools for the job

1. Drill with a drill for wood. The diameter of the drill should match the diameter of the stud.
2. Perforator for drilling holes in the ceiling for fixing anchors. The drill should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the anchor.
3. Wrenches, their marking must match the size of the nuts used.
4. Electric jigsaw.
5. Screwdriver.
6. bubble level.

Work order

Step 1. To begin with, a shelf of the desired width and length is cut out of a sheet of plywood or fiberboard.

It is worth knowing that it is recommended to place load-bearing studs at an average load on the material after 60-70 cm. If the shelf is longer, then over time the plywood or fiberboard sheet will noticeably bend and sag.

Step 2 To enhance the strength of the material, a metal profile equipped with internal stiffeners can be fixed along the ends of the plate.

Step 3 Holes for studs are marked along the edges of the shelf. It is worth knowing that it is desirable to drill 5-7 cm from the edges of the plate. If the holes are located too close to the ends, the material may crumble under the weight of the items placed on the shelf.

Step 4 After the holes are drilled, the shelf must be attached to the ceiling and, using a pencil, transfer the location of the holes to the ceiling. Thus, the structure will be located without distortions and you can not be afraid that the studs are deformed.

Holes are drilled in the ceiling for the anchor, dust is removed from them. The anchors are driven into the concrete to the stop and the nuts are tightened.

Long metal studs are connected to anchors placed on the ceiling. The connection is fixed with the help of coupling nuts. It is also desirable to insure the connection with an additional ordinary nut, which is screwed onto the thread of the stud.

Step 5 After the studs are firmly fixed on the ceiling, the shelf installation period begins. A nut is screwed onto the stud, then a washer. After that, a shelf is strung on the ends of the studs.

Shelf fixation is carried out using Grover's washer and control nut. Washers protect the openings of the shelf from breaking under loads. Grover serves as protection against loosening of the fixing nut. You can use two nuts for safety and greater structural strength. The final adjustment of the mounting hardware is carried out according to the level.

This hanging shelf will save a lot of space in the garage. The only drawback is the mobility of the structure. You can eliminate it with the help of a special metal corner. One edge of the corner is attached to the wall, the second - to the base of the shelf. Thus, the entire suspension structure is fixed. Also, a metal corner will strengthen the shelf, which will affect its durability.

DIY tool shield shelf

In order for all small tools to be at hand during plumbing or carpentry work, you can think over and make a special shield. Shelves-shields are not distinguished by high carrying capacity and strength, they cannot be used to store heavy tools, but for small and necessary things that are always lost, this design would be ideal.

It's important to know!

1. It is desirable to hang a shelf with a tool on a plastered wall, otherwise condensation will accumulate between the brick or block surface and the wall of the shelf. Constant high humidity will adversely affect the material of the shield, may cause its deformation or decay.
2. The average load per square meter of the shield surface should not exceed 14 kg. The weight of the structure will lead to rapid destruction.
3. The height of the shield is determined by the growth of the owner of the garage. The top edge of the shelf should not be higher than human height. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to take tools from the shield.
4. If shelves are thought out on the shield, it is not advisable to make them closed. It will also make the job harder. All small tools and parts must be in the public domain.

How to make a shield with your own hands

Materials and tools

Step 1. First you need to choose the size of the shield. Most often, such a shelf is fixed in front of a workbench, behind which a person is engaged in repair work. It is desirable that the shield in width be slightly larger than the dimensions of the workbench.

Step 2 Then a shield is cut out of plywood or other material. Immediately a place for small shelves is marked on it.

Step 3 Then, using a jigsaw, shelves with side walls are cut. The side walls of the shelves can be made the same size as the length of the shield. Further, with the help of long self-tapping screws, the shelf structure is assembled and attached to the surface of the shield. A place to store jars and boxes with nails and other small things is ready.

Step 4 Attaching hooks. To do this, holes are drilled in the shield and dowels are driven into them and special threaded hooks are screwed in. It is advisable to think in advance where and what tool will be located. Proceeding from this, hooks are drilled.

Then on back wall eyelets or brackets are attached to fix the shelf on the wall. The last step is to mount the shelf on the wall. Holes are drilled with a perforator, anchors are driven into them. If the shelf is fastened “tightly”, then it is possible to strengthen the fixation of the structure with a special washer, which will prevent the eyes from slipping off the anchor.

A simple and convenient shield for tools and parts is ready. If all the tools and material are available, then it can be done in a few hours.

In winter, doing carpentry in an unheated workshop is below average pleasure. But my hands are itchy. Therefore, I decided to implement a weekend project associated with more rough work - to install a tool panel next to the workbench.

Place for the future panel:

This problem can be solved with the help of perforated panels (made of tin or HDF) or economy panels (MDF with grooves along the entire length). On thematic forums, you can often find topics in which people brag about their workshops equipped with such panels. Looks really impressive.

But this option is not suitable for everyone. Despite the fact that the panels themselves are not cheap, you still need to buy hangers and hooks, the total cost of which will many times exceed the cost of the panel itself. In addition, the usability of hooks that do not have a rigid fixation raises questions. And it’s not clear how to fix some kind of home-made plywood suspension on such a panel?

I'll give you an example.
See the red gas wrench in the photo with a narrow hole in the handle? If, when removing, accidentally move it up a little, then the hook may come off the panel. Well, or the hook will need to be corrected. A trifle, of course, but you will have to distract time (even if only for a fraction of a second), attention and a second hand, which is likely to be busy. Of course, you can try to remove the gas key carefully so that it does not cling to anything, but doesn’t this hook require too much attention?
The same thing is likely to happen when trying to remove the red and blue handled pliers. Because the rubber grips will hook into the bracket like a Morse taper.
Although, of course, I could be wrong and my doubts are in vain.
Another detail - suspensions for just a pair of pliers and a pair of hammers will cost almost 500 rubles. As they say, count.

I am for simple and reliable solutions. Therefore, it was decided to use a sheet of ordinary 15 mm plywood as a panel. As suspensions and hooks, you can use ordinary self-tapping screws of various lengths at a price of two kopecks per kilogram, which will not go anywhere without your persistent desire. The same self-tapping screws can fix any homemade suspension. At the same time, the length of the part of the self-tapping screw sticking out of the panel can be precisely adjusted in place by screwing the self-tapping screw into the plywood even through and through. But for this, a gap must remain between the plywood and the wall.

The gap can be made using plastic washers for perforated panels. But it is more reliable to install the panel on a specially welded frame. This levels the unevenness of the wall, adds rigidity to the entire structure and allows you to set a gap of any size.
Of course, this method is also not free and not so glamorous, but it is much more practical.

I think the welding process is of little interest to anyone. The result is important. The frame is welded from my favorite fiftieth corner. All mounting holes are 8mm.
Align the frame on a sheet of plywood and mark the attachment points.

The holes in the plywood are a couple of millimeters wider than on the frame to level out minor inaccuracies.

I painted the frame with automotive paint from a can. Color - Snow Queen (with metallic). The instructions say that the paint must be applied at a temperature environment not lower than +15. However, there is no heating in the workshop and it was necessary to paint at -1. This did not affect the quality of the coverage. Most likely, the difference is only in the drying time.

The frame is attached to the wall with eight dowels 8x80. The fact is that the inter-garage wall, on which the panel is planned to be mounted, is only half a brick thick. As planned, a large number of attachment points should evenly distribute the load. In addition, some of the dowels were caught between the bricks, so their reliability is lower.

Now, looking at the finished result, I understand that it was possible to get by with half the dowels. But it's better to be overdressed than underdressed.

The plywood sheet is attached to the frame with thirteen 8x45 anchors.

Anchors are great for this task. To tighten a conventional nut with a bolt, you need access to both the nut and the bolt. But when the frame is already fixed to the wall, such access is not possible (especially when attaching plywood to the middle rail of the frame). But the anchor requires access from only one front side.

I can't even imagine what could go wrong. The only trouble that can theoretically happen with such a connection is if the nut and the edge of the hole in the corner bite through the anchor sleeve. But this is unlikely. Therefore, such a connection seems to me very reliable.

When the panel is ready, you can start placing the tool. First in line is a sledgehammer. Not having her own place, she constantly got in the way under her feet. At the same time, the prospect of its use in my workshop is vague. But you can't throw it away either. The tool! Therefore, I quickly welded a special bracket for it,

ennobled it all with spray paint

and placed in the farthest corner under the ceiling. Finally, I will stop tripping over it and, if necessary, it is always available.
A powerful frame and a large number of attachment points allow you not to think about permissible load on the panel.

The panel area turned out to be slightly larger square meter- not a little and there is some margin.

I installed the same toolbars in my country garage a few years ago. I used exactly the same anchors. The idea to weld a frame under the panel was born exactly there - this is due to the design of the walls. But the idea stuck.
All these years, the panels just do not get enough. In the country, I don’t use the tool so often, so something is forgotten. Sometimes it was easier to buy a new instrument than to find an old one in the rubble. Therefore I have several building levels, several plumb lines, gas wrenches, axes and other things. In the economy, of course, everything is useful. But now I always know for sure and will not forget what tool I have, how much and where it is. The first few weeks you need to get used to the fact that each thing should have its own place. And when it becomes a habit, working in the workshop ceases to be a constant search for the right tool and stumbling over an unnecessary one.
In short, I recommend.

The whole job took a day and a half. It was possible to meet one, but without painting (I had to take a break for the paint to dry). In general, I am pleased with the result.

First of all, you need to immediately clean up your garage, remove everything superfluous, all the garbage - don't be Plyushkin, who collected everything you need and don't need. After that, install large-sized equipment and workbenches that you will use in your work. Small tools can be stored in separate drawers or on hooks driven into the wall. By the way, such storage is very convenient, because you will always see what tool you have, and save a lot of space. If desired, you can hang the tool according to its functional purpose. It is advisable to store dowels and screws in separate boxes, picking them up in size.

Many people use special carts for tools, so you always have everything you need at hand. With the trolley it is also possible to equip a mobile workplace in cases where the main work will be carried out outside the walls of the workshop. If you decide to make a workshop not only for yourself, but also for others, offering repair services, it is advisable to take care of the possibility of connecting various equipment, such as, for example, what you need to think about the location of sockets. In some cases, the arrangement of the workshop involves the creation of a hood, especially if you work with wood. Or, if you don’t have such an opportunity, just get a powerful vacuum cleaner.

But it is also important that you think in advance what equipment and where it will be located. In general, you can sketch out a simple layout of equipment - this way it will be easier for you to perceive information visually. Incorrectly organizing the free space in the workshop, you will achieve a sharp decrease in the efficiency and effectiveness of your work. Just calculate what area will be most suitable for you for a workplace, how much space you need to place the tool.

Also, while equipping the workshop, do not forget about winter period- you will need a device for heating the room, otherwise the work can be postponed for this time. To do this, you can use modern insulation materials and, in addition, install an electric heater. By the way, tools in a warm room will be stored better, since humidity and low temperatures can lead to a deterioration in their properties.

Advice: do not forget about the first aid kit, which must contain cotton, bandage, brilliant green and antiseptics necessary for first aid.

Garage tools are indispensable items for every car owner. Quickly unscrew the bolts that secure the wheel, and then change it, drain and fill in fresh oil and antifreeze, even just clean the car windows from snow or ice - all this will be done with a tool that should always be at hand.

It includes garden and construction equipment, often stored in such premises. This article offers recommendations on how to store tools in the garage competently, how to make some products with your own hands.

What tools are needed in the garage

Equipping the garage with everything necessary is made based on the preferences of its owner. Features of the performance of repair or other types of work determine the presence of various equipment and tools in the garage. Despite the wide variety of jobs, it is desirable to have some garage tools in every room.

These include:

• Keys set, better with a special ratchet.
• Set of heads.
• Screwdriver set.
• Pliers.
• Wire cutters.
• Round nose pliers.
• torque wrench, which allows you to choose the right tightening torque and ensure high-quality wheel fastening, this is especially important when replacing it on a car.
• A set of mounts.
• Universal clamp.
• Retaining ring remover.
• Chisels.
• Set of magnets.

Various electric and pneumatic tools also facilitate the performance of repair work.

It can be:

• Electric drill.
• Impact wrench.
• Bulgarian.
• Grinder.
• Electric lift.
• Welding machine for complex repairs.

Motorists purchase many tools and devices at their own discretion, and some even make them themselves.

How to make a pipe bender

Homeowners often need to bend pipes or strips of metal, for example, when making their own greenhouses or laying a plumbing system. There are many solutions to this problem. One of the options is shown in the photo.

To make a pipe bender you will need:

• Wood.
• Three polyurethane keel rollers for a boat trailer, which are fixed with tougons on the shafts from scrolling.
• Steel angles that hold the rolled pipe in a perpendicular position and prevent it from bending into a spiral.
• Stud and nut or threaded plate. These elements are needed to tighten the roller from below. Each time the pipe is rolled, the nut or threaded plate is tightened by half a turn. If you need to make a bend of not a large radius, and the circle turned out to be of the correct shape, it may be necessary to make from 50 to 100 runs.
• Handle with bracket, to rotate the pressure roller.

Pipe bender - bottom view

The order of work has the following sequence:

• Wooden blanks are cut out.
• Holes are drilled for axles.
• Axles with rollers are assembled.
• Bearings for the axles are inserted into the vertical racks.
• The assembled nodes are mounted on the base of the pipe bender, guide corners are attached.
• Guide plates are fixed on top of the base rack.
• The upper part of the tool is assembled. A shaft with a roller and a handle is inserted, a stud or a long bolt is installed from below for the clamping nut.

Particular attention in the manufacture of tools should be given to the distance between the rollers. Each pipe has a minimum bend radius. The greater the distance between the rollers, the larger it will be.

In this case, less bending force is required, and the end of the pipe will remain unrolled. The stroke of the pressure roller must be made as long as possible.

These points must be taken into account at the design stage and it is necessary to provide for the possibility for the rollers to change their position if necessary. Therefore, in order for the pipe bender to be used repeatedly, the dimensions of the tool must be taken with some margin.

How to make a screw clamp

To attach the pipe bender to the workbench, as well as to perform other work, you will need various clamps. The price of a large number of products different sizes high enough. Therefore, if there is a desire, such designs can be made independently.

To make a screw clamp you will need:

• Profile metal sheet, approximately 10 millimeters thick.
• Metal rod with a thread on one end M10.
• Several nuts M10.

The manufacturing process includes:

• A bracket is marked on a sheet of metal. To do this, you can use the finished product or prepare a template yourself, at your discretion, taking into account the requirements of operating conditions and the required dimensions.
• The workpiece is cut out. In this case, it is better to use an acetylene torch or a gas cutter.
• The edges are cleaned with an angle grinder and the burrs are removed.
• On the smaller side of the bracket, several M10 nuts are welded or a hexagonal bar up to 50 mm long with an M10 thread for the entire length in the center of the part.
• An M10 thread of the required length is cut on a round bar with a diameter of 10 millimeters.
• A protective coating of all elements with oil or nitro paint is carried out to protect against corrosion.

Homemade garage tool may have more difficult process manufacturing, which requires special equipment and skills.

Tip: Before using a homemade garage tool, you need to make sure of its quality, and most importantly, its reliability when working with it.

How to properly store tools in the garage

If it is quite difficult to make a garage tool with your own hands, then each owner of the premises can perform the correct and convenient placement of the tool in the garage.

In this case:

• To properly organize the space where small parts will be placed, you can equip several rows of long shelves along the wall (see), where you can then place garage tools.

• Large items are placed in plastic containers, large capacity boxes or special boxes.
• Small fastening tools can be stored in makeshift blocks using small food containers. A metal washer is glued to the bottom of it with superglue, and attached to the wall through a rail with a magnetic strip.

• It is convenient to hang a small tool in the garage on hooks that are attached to a long wooden strip fixed on the wall.

• A special stand on the wall is perfect for storing frequently used tools.

• For hacksaws and bow saws, metal brackets are made that can be nailed to the doors or screwed with small screws.
• Power tools in the garage are perfectly stored on racks (see) or shelves.

Tip: Store power tools in the winter in the packaging in which they are sold, these can be portable plastic boxes with a handle, which will protect the product from the negative effects of moisture and mechanical damage.

• Garden tools with long handles can be attached to special metal hooks.

Tip: For mowers, wheelbarrows, concrete mixers and other large-sized equipment, special racks should not be made. And metal hooks should be placed closer to the garage door.

• It is convenient to store a semi-automatic welding machine or another type of apparatus on a special trolley. Its use has the following advantages:

1. welding equipment is easy to deliver to the place of work;
2. it is possible to fix gas cylinder for welding, which does not have good stability;
3. saving space in the room.

It is not at all difficult for a garage owner who knows how to handle welding to make such a design himself.

How to fix the tool in the garage, place different shelves, racks and other equipment correctly to ensure convenient use of it, the video will tell. Convenient, serviceable and always at hand right tool– comfort in the garage for any car owner.
