1. Classification and storage of tools
It is important to classify and store tools according to their types. For example, place manual tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc. together, and electric tools such as drills, angle grinders, etc. in another area. This makes it easy to quickly find them when tools are needed. Moreover, different types of tools have different shapes and
1. Classification and storage of tools
It is important to classify and store tools according to their types. For example, place manual tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc. together, and electric tools such as drills, angle grinders, etc. in another area. This makes it easy to quickly find them when tools are needed. Moreover, different types of tools have different shapes and purposes, and classified storage can prevent tools from colliding with each other and being damaged. For example, if a sharp screwdriver is mixed with a precision power tool, it may scratch the outer shell or internal parts of the power tool.
2. Consider the distribution of tool weight
When placing tools, pay attention to the weight balance of the toolbox. Heavier tools should be placed at the bottom of the toolbox, while lighter tools should be placed at the top. This is because if heavier tools are placed on top, lifting or moving the toolbox may cause the center of gravity of the toolbox to become unstable and tip over, not only causing the tools to scatter but also potentially damaging them. For example, a large socket wrench group weighs more and should be placed at the bottom, while a small hex wrench can be placed on the top.
3. Prevent tools from getting damp and rusting
Many tools are made of metal material and are prone to moisture and rust. If the toolbox is made of plastic material, although it has a certain degree of moisture resistance, it should still be noted. You can place some desiccants, such as silicone desiccants, in the toolbox to absorb moisture inside the box. For some tools that are prone to rusting, such as iron hammers, chisels, etc., they can be wiped clean and coated with a layer of rust proof oil before storage. Especially in humid environments such as basements or work areas near water sources, it is necessary to strengthen moisture-proof measures.
4. Avoid tool compression and deformation
Some tools have precise structures or easily deformable components. When storing, do not excessively squeeze these tools. For example, precision measuring tools such as vernier calipers and micrometers may affect measurement accuracy if the caliper body and vernier caliper are compressed. For tools made of soft materials, such as those with plastic handles or tools with rubber parts, it is also important to avoid being squeezed by other heavy objects to prevent deformation and damage.
5. Reasonably utilize toolbox space
Plastic toolboxes usually have various compartments, slots, and small compartments. Make full use of these spaces to store tools and arrange them more neatly and orderly. For example, place small screws, nuts, and other components in a small box with compartments, and then place the small box in the compartment of the toolbox. For some long handled tools, the slots on the side of the toolbox can be used for storage, which can prevent the tools from being scattered in the box and also make good use of the space in the toolbox.
