Cordless Tool Storage

[Ed in Tampa]

Got it! You can't imagine what I conceived from your first post.
Now it all makes sense. You modied the wall slate and the hooks, I think it was the latter you failed to mention.

And where is that silly Wabbit?

I am putting together a new shop based on Wood Magazine's November 2003 article. I will be using quite a bit of pegboard.

I am quite happy with the Ryobi 18 volt cordless tools.

Has anyone come up with a way of storing cordless tools on pegboard? Or, has anyone been brainstorming for a similar storage system?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

An excellent question and a valuable discussion. It appears within a week I will move into my new workshop. I have tried mounting cordless tools on pegboard. I have attempted to group them in segmented tool or storage boxes. The favored solution in my shop stems from often needing to use those tools off site. I finally discovered I prefer storing each of them in the plastic or steel case they came in. Each case contains the tool, charger and frequently bits or blades I can expect to use. The difference in my old and new shop storage system for tools within their own case is movement from open shelves to closed cabinet storage. My Asthma requires I continue to lower the dust level in my shop. Sometime ago I realized dust covered tools and boxes interrupt my ability to breathe properly. Just before Christmas I found two Steel 36 inch wide by six foot high, 18 inch deep cabinets on a close out sale price. These will be installed in the new shop and enable me to store the tools in a closed dust free space. I have been in the habit of labeling the front and one end of each tool case so I can instantly identify each tool. Overkill, perhaps. Yet for my system I feel the best solution. Good luck with however you decide to store or display your cordless tools. Fjimp

Or in Elmer Fudd's case a Wabbett.

Do you do that too?
When I cut a rabbet I go through the whole "wabbet season, duck season" skit, and then I start whistling the hungarian rhapsody. Can't help it. It's ok though, the machine is loud enough to cover me up .
