Building a workshop from scratch

Step 25: Group Tools

Before hanging the tools on the pegboards or distributing them to drawers in the tool chests, we grouped tools together, considered various ways to store them, and came up with the following classifications:

-electronics (pliers, heat gun, wire strippers, solder supplies, etc)

-safety (glasses, ear muffs, masks)

-measurement (squares, rulers, layout tools)

-wrenches (open- and closed-end, sockets)

-drill bits

-clamps

-painting tools and supplies

-cutting tools

-precision tools (screwdrivers, dental picks, center punch)
