Try not to place items directly on the ground. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The wider the visible floor area,
the easier it is to clean and the better it looks.

However,
placing items high up increases effort and risk.
Especially if they’re heavy.

Let me share my organization method as one suggestion.
Try using it as a reference for your own organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to clean and store, and doesn’t get in the way… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, it’s difficult. Really difficult.
It took quite a few years to come up with this…
Well, I wasn’t really thinking about it at the time…

But I definitely felt that taking out and putting away heavy toolboxes was a hassle.
That’s for sure.

With my current setup, things have become much easier! \u266a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the dead space under the table. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need a long table or similar.
When selecting a table, choose one that’s simple and has storage space underneath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s on a cart, moving and cleaning are easy! \u266a <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you place things directly on the ground, you have to lift them every time.
“Heave!” <\/strong>You can’t help but let out a grunt.

When you’ve got a bad back, that’s rough.
You’re not always at peak physical condition.
A more comfortable and efficient work environment with less waste improves productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the weight, it can slip off the cart.
Applying a slip sheet helps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just pull it smoothly (‘\u0414’) Woah! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When working, it’s easy to take out, <\/strong>easy to move it right next to where you’re working, and easy to move it around. <\/strong>
Of course, cleaning under the toolbox is a breeze too!

Since we’re using the dead space under the table,
we can use the space effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old “Beta” I bought and…
“Trusco” are almost identical. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s both a happy and sad fact.
I think I’ve seen this with other brands too…
Well, since they’re easy to get, I guess I should be grateful… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this type of toolbox, plastic is best! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might think toolboxes should be steel…
The feel of steel is definitely great.

But when you add tools to the box weight,
it becomes extremely heavy…

This toolbox is plastic with metal-look reinforcement, making it fairly sturdy.
I use PE and PP materials quite often.
Most importantly, they don’t break easily.
They’re resistant to chemicals and solvents, lightweight, and inexpensive.
The ability to move them around constantly is also important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six cases fit neatly inside this box. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are mostly specialty tools, so they’re used less frequently than general tools.
However,
if you can use them quickly, don’t have to search for them, and can take them out easily, work becomes much easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
