Seem to have acquired loads of tools for biking and DIY and materials over the years so it needed to be sorted out if I was to fit a respectful number of bikes in the garage
I built myself a 3m long work bench with a shelf running underneath. the Floor below and the shelf hold about 12 plastic boxes with different things in them. these are where the DIY tools and stuff live. This gets them out of the way meaning the work benchtop is free for bike tools and bits.
I have a 5 draw Halfords chest which holds all bike tools, but they are shared with a smaller plastic toolbox which goes with me on trips away. I also have a kind of metal filing cabinet from ikea which has 8 shallow draws - this holds all the important bike bits that I never use but can't get rid of.
In reality quite a lot of the tools live on the workbench top so that I can spend 20 minutes looking for the right allen key.
