Storing power tools

[WabbitPoo]

I have a single garage in the uk that's cold. We live by the sea. Tools of all sorts get rusty pretty easily. I have the usual bunch of power tools, gathered over the years...drills, sanders, heat guns, biscuit joiners, routers .....you name it, i seem to have one.

At the moment the ones for which i no longer have the box are just crammed on shelves or tossed into a large plastic crate under the bench, but it drives me nuts trying to get to the tool i want

How do you ask store your tools and their cables in a small space?

Search Pinterest for tool storage ideas, I pick through it mainly for the van, but great for all different tools and size situations. It may also be worth getting boxes for the tools you have loose, either the original empty boxes for the tools you have or generic ones that will fit and eBay or other sellers often have them fairly cheap and that makes them far easier to store, to label and find and also to protect them from the elements.

How do you ask store your tools and their cables in a small space?

I have a couple of three drawers, metal filing cabinets. You often see them on FB market, free for collection. I don't worry about cold, so long as the place is dry. Each drawer, has a label stuck on the front, with an idea of the contents. For loose drills, small tools, I have a set of ten drawers, metal document drawers.

I have 3x battery drills, which are my most used, and I'm looking for a solution for those, as an alternative to the - out on the bench ready to use, I have at the moment. Maybe, short bits of drain pipe, screwed to a bench leg, as a sort of holster?
