If you're a DIY enthusiast, you know how important it is to have your tools organized and within reach. A DIY power tool storage rack is an excellent solution for keeping your workshop clean and tidy while also making your tools easy to access. Not only does this easy project save you time when you're working on a project, but a well built power tool organizer also helps protect your tools from damage.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to organize your power tools, Spartan Mounts tool holders are an excellent solution. These heavy-duty holders are made from durable materials and are designed to securely hold your tools, making them a great addition to any workshop. With options for most cordless drills, impact driver and other cordless tools, a Spartan Mounts drill holder is a great way to give easy access to your most used tools, even in small space.
Materials and Tools Needed:
Before you begin, determine the layout of your power tool storage rack. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the locations for each tool holder, making sure to leave enough space in between for each tool. You can easily attach Spartan Mounts to drywall or wood, but consider attaching to a back piece that offers organization for your hand tools as well, such as pegboard, slat wall or french cleat system.
Using a drill and screws, mount each tool holder to the wall, making sure to attach it to a stud. Use a level to ensure each tool holder is straight and even. Drilling pilot holes can help keep everything level.
Once all the tool holders are mounted, you can begin adding tools to your tool wall. Simply slide each of your cordless power tools into its designated holder and ensure that it's secure.
Adding additional storage now can save you a lot of hassle later, especially in a small workshop. Consider storage for things like wood glue, wood screws, spray paint, plastic bags, gloves, and safety glasses.
Grouping similar tools together can make it easier to find what you need when you're working on a project. For example, you can create a section for all your saws, another for your drills and drivers, and another for your sanders.
Even if all of your tools are battery powered, you may want to install a power strip near the bench for a battery charging station, lights, and different tools you may purchase in the future.
Using labels can help you quickly identify which tools are where. You can use labels to identify specific tools or sections of the tool holders.
Consider arranging your tools by how often you use them. For example, you can keep your most frequently used tools at eye level and within easy reach, while less frequently used tools can be stored on higher wall mounts.
Always keep safety in mind when organizing your tools on a cordless drill storage rack. Use cable ties to secure electrical wires. Store sharp or dangerous tools out of reach of children, and make sure everything is securely in place to prevent accidents.
Organizing your power tools doesn't have to be a hassle. With Spartan Mounts tool holders, you can quickly and easily create a customized power tool storage DIY that will make your workspace more efficient and organized. By following these simple steps and tips, you can keep your tools within reach and ready to use for your next project.
Good overall results. I ordered the mount for a VR-80. My latch didn't lock into the mount. Emailed Spartan and they immediately sent a paid label to return the faulty mount, and shipped a replacement. It also failed with my shotgun. So they suggested that I try a Typhoon 12 mount and it locked. Problem solved.
Works as advertised, no problems. I decided to use larger screws and anchors bc, well those are my babies, ain’t takin no chances. The mounts fit my both 5.56 and 9mm tubes
The mount says it is for the ruger pistol. After a quick email reply from spartan, I ordered one for my Ruger carbine in 5.7x28. The carbine does not lock into place like most spartan mounts, but did not affect me I mounted mine vertically. Sturdy, well built. I love spartan mounts. Will buy more in the future.
I purchased 2 balance bike mounts, 1 of which broke on the wall. Spartan replaced the mount no questions asked and both have held up very well since installing the new mount. Great company, great products.
Excellent mounts!!
I use them in my hunting cabin.
Lockable with a cable lock.
The Spartan custom mount fits like a glove on this unusually shaped Tavor TS-12 shotgun, which now is in a location accessible to me at short notice should the need arise.
Great stuff!
My 50 looks great hanging on my office wall.
