Power Tool Storage Ideas
Yardwork, gardening, DIYing, and other jobs and hobbies require keeping an assortment of power tools in your home, workshop, or garage. Regular tools like shovels and rakes are easy to store due to their similar shapes. Power tools, however, are often irregularly shaped, heavy, and large, requiring thoughtful storage.
It’s essential to use tool storage solutions designed to accommodate power tools. Your electric drills are not properly cared for and accessible if they’re stored in a toolbox or drawer. Longer power tools like line trimmers and hedge trimmers shouldn’t live on the ground or be leaned up against the wall because that’s a tripping hazard that can hurt both you and your expensive equipment.
If your garage or shed is becoming cluttered with hard-to-store tools like leaf blowers and oscillating saws, it’s time to set yourself up for success with tool storage made with power tools in mind.
1. Heavy-Duty Wall Storage
The Problem
One of the most common tool storage rack designs is the s-hook, which grips the long handles of tools like shovels and rakes.
While it works for some tools, this design is not compatible with most power tools, which have bulky or irregular shapes. It’s also not optimal for space efficiency, since you can store only one tool per s-hook.
When you consider the fact that many tool racks are made of plastic, it’s clear that your power tools need a more robust storage system.
The Solution
Power tools require storage that is both versatile and heavy-duty enough to accommodate a variety of sizes, shapes, and weights.
The solid steel Bedrock Tool Organizer was made with all kinds of tools in mind—power tools and yard tools alike. It has four 9.5" slots to load up with tools while taking up minimal wall space. And with a weight capacity of 250 lbs, you can be sure that it stays firmly on the wall, even if you store your whole collection of power tools on it.

2. Drill Storage
The Problem
Smaller power tools like electric drills seem easier to store in theory, but they are frequently tucked away inside drawers, stored with other tools in a toolbox, or left on the workbench.
This type of storage contributes to workshop clutter. When your drills are stored with a jumble of screwdrivers and wrenches in your workshop drawers, it makes it difficult to access the other hand tools you need. And without proper storage, you risk damage to your drill and increase your chances of losing parts.
The Solution
To keep your drills accessible and protect their longevity, the best method of storage is to keep them organized on a designated drill storage rack. When each drill has a storage slot, you reduce the risk of damage from contact with other tools in a drawer or toolbox.
The Grundy Power Tool Organizer + Shelf provides you with a slot for each of your electric drills, oscillating saws, drivers, and other small hand power tools. It also includes a heavy-duty floating shelf that’s perfect for charging stations, extra batteries, and keeping your drill bits closeby.
This setup keeps your workshop neat while protecting your tools and helping you stay organized. Plus, your drills are handy and ready to use whenever you need them.

3. Mobile Power Tool Storage
The Problem
Most tool storage solutions are stationary, either freestanding in your garage or mounted to the wall or ceiling. This forces you to walk back and forth for needed tools while working.
This inefficiency can be frustrating, especially when juggling heavy power tools, long-handled tools, and other supplies. Without a mobile solution, transporting tools between your garage, workshop, or job site becomes a hassle, and tools stored separately often create clutter and wasted time searching for the right equipment.
The Solution
Use a mobile tool cart for storage combined with portability. The Goshen Tool Storage Organizer is an all-in-one solution for power tool storage, regular tool organization, and more.
It has two sturdy shelves to transport heavy power tools like saws or sanders, while the included pegboard attachments hold smaller tools like electric drills on the side. The locking caster wheels kep you securely in place or on the move as needed.
With integrated slots for long-handled tools, a built-in bucket rack, and a paper towel holder, the Goshen tool cart keeps you ready for any project, anywhere—not just for power tools, but for every other tool, too.

4. Ultra-Heavy-Duty Wall-Mounted Storage
The Problem
Many wall-mounted tool racks fall short when it comes to organizing large power tools. They’re either too flimsy to handle the weight of heavy-duty tools or have hooks that don’t accommodate power tools’ unique shapes.
This leaves your power tools sitting on your workbench, in drawers, in storage bins, or on the ground, creating clutter and making it difficult to quickly find the tools you need. Improper storage can also risk damage to your tools or even injury when they’re not stored securely.
The Solution
Store power tools on an adjustable tool rack with storage slots that fit your tools like they were custom-made for each other. The 64" Modular Tool Organizer holds up to 600 lbs—powerful enough that you can even store a lawnmower on it (and we have!).

5. Ultimate Wall-Mounted Storage

When it comes to organizing your garage or workshop, one-size-fits-all tool storage often doesn’t work. Traditional racks lack the durability to hold heavy power tools, don’t offer flexible spacing for different tool types, and leave your space looking cluttered with extra bins, toolboxes, and other gear still on the floor.
Without a customizable solution, you’re left with disorganized tools that are hard to find and floors that are impossible to keep clear.
