The basics of tool organization systems, Part 2: Rolling storage
Posted in: UncategorizedAs we mentioned in Part 1, wall-mounted pegboard is not a good way to store and organize your tools if you require a measure of mobility.
To combine the ease-of-use and relatively low cost of pegboard with basic mobility, some companies make simple pegboard lean-tos with wheels:
[Triton’s LocBoard Tool Cart, Alligator Board’s WOW Cart, and Bott’s Perfo Panel Trolley]For the DIY’er, Makezine features a How to Make Your Own Rolling Pegboard Cart like the one below.
Of course, all of these can still be accused of having one of the problems of pegboard when it’s mounted–if you’re not into the look, you’re not into the look. And while your tools have now become mobile, if you’re looking for space-saving solutions these aren’t it. Another potential problem is that if you work in a communal workspace and don’t want others having access to your tools, you’ll need a more enclosed solution.
