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.

I store mine in large plastic tool boxes that the sheds sell. They are kept
as a collective function. i.e.

'Drill and fill' contains all that I need to drill any hole and fill it with
any screw. Including a range of screws.

'Cutting', has both a circular saw and jig saw, as well as replacement
blades. Along side of this, are my selection of chisels. I must remember to
put a sharpening stone in this one though.

'Smoothing' has all my requirements to finish the surface of what I am
working on. e.g. sander, planes, sandpaper etc.

Works quite well for me, as I can pick up the box for drill and fill,
knowing I have all I need to hang something on the wall.
