Default Storage of power tools

Peter Bull wrote in message ...
I have some well used power tools - drills, sanders, jigsaws etc
whose original boxes have long since rotted, so I just keep
them on my bench. My new years resolution is to keep my
workshop tidy (tidier ?), so I'm after suggestions for their
storage. What do other people do....... make containers
for them, put them on brackets on the wall? All
suggestions gratefully received.
Peter


In no particular order:

cardboard boxes, stacked. - free, can be wallpapered
plastic boxes, stacked - dont last well
dexion shelving - looks industrial
hooks on walls - very space inefficient
cheap used chipboard drawer units
under the bed
lying about the house van or car - not really recommended, popular option though
nice wardrobe fited out with hooks and trays
wooden diy shelving units - fit any space, cheap and easy
outdoor tool store or shed - too much stuff gets damaged by damp
loft - inconvenient

etc
