One Garage Tool Organization Hack to Rule Them All

Your Search for the best Tool Organization System Stops Here 🔍

Weston, WI – October 7, 2022: When you finally get your hands on new tool drawers, the thought of so much fresh tool storage can be exciting. But this extra storage potential can also be overwhelming—each drawer is its own storage space with its own potential. But often, instead of truly optimizing each drawer’s functionality, what usually ends up happening is tools are haphazardly thrown in drawers. That’s because there’s been no perfect way to store tools—until now.

Meet Toolgrid™: Your Tools’ Favorite Storage System

Toolgrid for CTech is a tool-organizing platform that uses a pegboard format to line your tool drawers. You can then plug in the exclusive tool holders however you like to create permanent homes for your tools. Your most used small tools like your hammer, pliers, and drill bits can be seamlessly arranged in your MotionLatch® drawers for the easiest access possible.

With Toolgrid you’re no longer trying to organize all your hand tools within open spaces—you get to create dedicated places for every tool you have. No more rummaging around to find the tool you know is there but can’t see, because you’ll know where every single tool lives. Your garage storage will go from controlled chaos to just controlled.

Toolgrid for CTech Vs Other Tool Storage Ideas

It isn’t just that Toolgrid works well—it outperforms the tool organization ideas you’re used to. So here’s a quick look at how Toolgrid bests other tool storage solutions:

  • It saves you time and effort . When you look to additional storage solutions like totes, plastic storage bins, or freestanding shelving units to help make sense of messy drawers, it often leads to more of a headache. You still have to spend time unstacking bins and rummaging for what you need. And when you only have a small space to work with, like an already full garage or a compact shed, this process adds clutter to precious floor space. Toolgrid keeps your tools organized and readily accessible, without the hassle.
  • It’s made for your exact tools . Toolgrid holders are exclusively engineered to hold a range of tools. So you’re no longer working within the confines of a one-size-fits-all approach. Your screwdrivers, wrenches, and washers all have holders perfectly suited for their shape. And even more specific tools, like woodworking or garden tools, can often be accommodated with Toolgrid holders.
  • It’s high-quality . Even if you find a prefab organizer that can fit your tools, that doesn’t mean it should. Flimsy prefab organizers are often intended for much lighter use, meaning their garage shelf-life is extremely limited. Toolgrid’s composite material is made to withstand hard work because frequent tool use and run-ins with heavy objects are expected in a garage. The best tool storage idea offers quality and longevity—the goal is to avoid having to do the organizing process all over again.

It Fits Perfectly In Your Drawers

Chances are, if you get a lot of use out of your garage, you rely heavily on your tool drawers. This is where Toolgrid really shines. Tool chest, workbench, and tool cabinet drawers come in a lot of sizes, especially when you cancustomize your drawer sizes yourself. Toolgrid is cut to your specific CTech drawer size when you order, making use of every square inch. You get the customizability of a DIYtool storage solution without all the work.

And even if a diy project wasn’t your idea for a solution, the other option is typically to settle for a store-bought drawer divider system that’s created for the most common drawer sizes. This often leaves you with an organizer that slides around with any movement. Toolgrid’s customizable approach means you’re not wasting a single inch of storage potential. You also get to avoid the clanging of your valuable tools. Your wallet and ears will thank you. 

But it’s not just that you get to avoid a mass of tools sliding around when you open your drawers…

Toolgrid Keeps Tools in Place—Even in Transit

This means that when you slide your CTech drawers open or roll yourCTech cartaround the shop, your tools will stay organized. No matter how many times you open and close your drawers, or how quickly you maneuver your cart around the shop, your tools will stay exactly where you left them.

And while storage cabinets are presumably stationary, they aren’t when it’s not the garage wall it’s mounted to. If your CTech cabinets are on your trailer, the benefits of Toolgrid work just as well there. Toolgrid’s individualized holders, especially combined with the likes of CTech’s MotionLatch® technology, means your tools will stay secure anytime you’re on the move.
