1. Plastic Bottle Organisers
Start saving your plastic bottles rather than chucking them in the recycling bin. They can make great organisers for all kinds of tools and miscellaneous items. As well being uniform in size, they’re also sturdy and easy to come by. Plus you’re doing the planet a favour.
2. Tie/Belt Wrench Rack
If you’ve got a spare tie or belt rack you’re not using then a great idea is to repurpose it as a wrench rack. You can also pick one up at a discount store. Simply screw it into a spare spot on the wall over your work bench and hang up the wrenches in size order. This is a much easier way to identify the one you want than rummaging around in a drawer or plastic bucket.

3. Toilet Roll Cable Organisers
These days most of us have more cables and cords than we know what to do with. Every time we get a new piece of technology it seems to come with a myriad of spare cables, most of which end up taking space in your garage. A way you can keep them organised, ready for use in case you need them, is to slip them into toilet roll tubes and place them in a box.
4. Pie plate Saw Storage
As well as wanting your tools to be organised and easily accessible in your garage, you also want them to be safely stored out of harm’s way so you don’t hurt yourself and others. This is a clever way to keep saw blades and sanding discs out of drawers and up higher on a wall. Just cut pie tins in half and secure them to the wall with screws. You may want to tape the edges of the plates to protect your fingers.

5. Bandsaw blade hangers
A super simple way to hang bandsaw blades is to nest the blades inside binder clips. This stops the possibility of the blade uncoiling and hitting you in the face. Make it even easier to identify each one by labelling the clips with the size of the bandsaw.
