Modular tool storage recommendation for ADHD adult?
What modular tool storage system would you recommend?
I have many tools for many different DIY and home improvement projects. My ADHD means I am just awful at maintaining long term organization of those tools. I want to use a system where I can have a box for each discrete activity or tool type. That way I can take out only the boxes I need and then or those tools away immediately when I am done. I don't mean bring them back to the workshop and put them away, but instead have their mobile tool box be the thing that is also used for long term storage.
For example, I might have the following boxes ready to go:
- Everyday box - screw drivers, allen keys, hammer, rubber mallet, speed square, torpedo level, pencil, sharpie, blue masking tape, etc.
- Basic electrical - multimeter, insulated tools, electrical tape, assorted common wire nuts, wire stripper, etc.
- Painting - assorted brushes, rollers, roller covers, and masking tapes as well as a painters multi tool, roller tray, hand held paint bucket, sanding sponges, etc.
- Drill - cordless drill, drill bits, screw driver bits
- Driver and rachet - cordless impact driver, impact bits, hand rachet, rachet bits
- Pocket hole - my various Kregg products
- More as needed
If I am going to paint a doorway, I can grab the painting box. If the wall needs repair, I can grab the painting and drywall boxes. If I am hanging pictures, I can grab the everyday box and the drill box if I am using screw anchors. This should make cleanup easier, because picking up the job location is also getting things sorted to go back in storage. That second part is my weakness.
What system would you use for this? I feel like a system that includes both wall storage and multiple bin types would be best, but I am open. I want to use the same general storage system for other DIY hobbies as well, so I would rather not break the bank.
If it matters, all of my cordless tools are DeWalt. My electric yard tools, though unlikely to factor in, and Kobalt.
Any and all recommendations are welcome. Alternative thoughts are welcome. How would you approach this?
A tool/device you plug into socked and it emits an alarm if the power goes off?
Come on you tool lovers out there. Has anyone heard of the device I described on the subject line? Anything close?
