I use a Shop. RubberMaid Bruit's. Festool Systainers

 

home depot garage cabinets and wall track basket system right side of trailer home depot glass front led lit tool box

 

Home Depot cantilever organizers for most things... Tools just go in the back of the truck.

 

In my van I have steel shelving. My truck, it goes in the back seat, or in the bed.

 

I use a 3/4-ton van and an 8x16 storage unit. High-dollar specialty test equipment is stored at home.

 

Switched to a trailer and I will not go back. The ability to have most everything at my disposal is priceless to me.

Still a work in progress and it's not as nice as some of the other guys' on here but here she is;

 

Due to my lack of a garage/shop all my tools are stored in my 10x12 shed and the "less likely to use" tools are stored in my 8x10 trailer.

 

I keep my front line tools in a 5 x 8 trailer ( I've spent many days organizing and optimizing every inch of space). 2nd string tools get the garage, and everything else lives in the backyard shed.
I will be upgrading to a larger trailer after I upgrade to a larger truck.

 

well..i have 2..one for cabinetmaking and one for timberframing..the one for cabinetmaking is made in birch and walnut with dovetail drawers and the one for timberframing is quartersawn pine,with a little sliding drawer for miscellaneous..

 

At home, I store all my stuff in my shop.

 

Brickhook I need to see more pics of your shop.

Man, that is a nice set up. Makes me rethink my small trailer.

I keep most of my gear in a 6 by 12 Interstate trailer. A small tool bag in the cab and then all the never used gear in the garage.

The trailer goes from clean enough to drive my mower in to, to not even enough room for my feet, in what seems like a few days. The garage, don't ask.

 

Nothing to big or fancy.A 12' V nose and the back of my truck.Works well for my remodeling business.Anything larger Would be a pain getting into some places I work.

 

Was just taking some pics for the other thread so might as well add here too.

Mines a bunch of misc storage systems but at some point will all be Systainers.

 

For home life I like dewalt tough cases and my tool box. For the company jobsite trailers are a must.

 

i see some really festool addicted here..:thumbup:

 

I am blown away by how organized y'all are! WOW!

 

:thumbup:

 

If you are not a little organized ,you are not efficient and it's costing you money.

 

Now I feel better! My desk always looks like a hurricane hit it but I know where everything is. If one of my kids tries to organize it I can't find a thing.

 

Just the hand tools

Frank,

The middle pencil is crooked and doesn't match. :no:

 

Oh my! Your a sicko Frank!! :laughing:

 

Yea,he seems pretty demented to me too? I'd hate to see one of his jobs!!!!

 

FrankSmith, I am guessing you don't have any trouble finding tools.

 

That thing had to weigh a ton.

 

It's not bad. 43 pounds when the wd-40 is full. I carry around a lot of heavier things on a daily bases. Ladders, aluminum brake, compressor, table saw, miter box and so on. I might build one with an aluminum body when this one gives out. I would rather carry around a well organized heavy box then spend time looking for tools.

 

I bring to the job just what we need, plus a little more. I am a good planner and rarely show up without something I needed. Lately a lot of our jobs have been in close proximity, so one job is kind of the drop zone for a lot of equipment.

 

Shop,van, & trailer. They all go through various stages of mess and cleanliness over the course of the year.
