Tools, tools, tools… a woman can never have enough tools in her home. Especially when you’re a DIY’er and love working with your hands, whether you’re building a farmhouse table, refinishing a dresser, fixing a wobbly chair, or even tackling a small bathroom refresh. Suddenly you’re dealing with a DeWalt drill, a Makita impact driver, a Ryobi sander, a Kreg jig, a level, clamps, paint rollers, wood glue, caulking guns, and all those random little knickknacks that somehow multiply overnight. And when tiny little screws, wall anchors, and different drill bits enter the picture, it gets even more complicated because there are so many types that you might even forget where you put them.

The great thing is there are clever storage systems that will let you put away those precious tools properly in the garage or basement. You don’t have to be like your husband who just shoves everything into one box and then looks like a crazy person trying to sort through it to find a single screwdriver. Or maybe your husband is a tidy freak, in which case, lucky you.

Either way, neat freak or not, this space will show you the best ways to store your tools so the next time you’re working on a project like building floating shelves, repainting kitchen cabinets, or assembling IKEA furniture, you’ll have peace of mind and won’t have to stress about where everything goes or how to put it all away.
