This Simple IKEA DIY Can Instantly Declutter And Organize Your Power Tools Storage

Keeping your power tools organized is about more than having a clutter-free garage. Good tool storage also helps extend the life of your tools, improves overall safety, and helps you be more efficient when working on projects. While there are many kinds of storage options out there, this DIY tool storage system outshines pegboard and other alternatives by a long shot. All you need to do is mount an old IKEA VRUM four-bottle wine rack to your ceiling or under your workbench, and you'll have simple, slide-in storage that makes accessing your power tools easy.

If you're looking for hanging tool storage that saves space and stays organized, this is the project for you. As far as DIYs go, this one is incredibly straightforward and requires very few materials: just the wall rack itself, and the tools and hardware needed to mount it. If you have an especially large collection of tools, you may want to get more than one IKEA VRUM rack.

To complete this IKEA DIY, you will need a VRUM wine rack, which is no longer available in the IKEA store. However, there are plenty of VRUM wine racks available on resale sites like Etsy and eBay. Alternatively, this BarCraft Wall Wine Rack from Amazon serves as an excellent dupe. Once you've acquired the wine rack, all that's left to do is find an ideal location to mount it. If your garage is in a state of chaos, adding storage like this that gets your tools up and off of your workspace is one of the easiest ways to start decluttering your crowded garage.

The VRUM rack is meant to be mounted vertically, but for this project, you will want a horizontal orientation. The rack will also need to be mounted to the ceiling or under a shelf, rather than directly on the wall, so your tools have room to slide through. It's important to remember that power tools come in different shapes and sizes, so be sure that your tools will be a good fit before investing in a new wine rack for this purpose.
