Organizing a garage may seem difficult, but with the right storage solutions, it becomes a lot more manageable. Craftsman has long been a trusted name for tools and workshop gear, known for thoughtfully designed and affordable products for the average homeowner and DIYer. Beyond tools, they also manufacture a variety of organization and storage products to help bring order to cluttered shelves or a chaotic workbench.

Drawing on real user reviews, we've rounded up the best Craftsman products for garage storage. From simple tool boxes to heavy-duty wall track systems, these are the top products to streamline your garage. The products on this list are highly-rated, each earning at least 4 stars from a minimum of 400 reviews. We explain our selection methodology in detail at the end of this article. If you need to get a messy garage in order and are looking to shop from a reputable brand, these are the best Craftsman organizers. 

The Craftsman 9 Compartment Plastic Organizer Bin is useful for storing all sorts of small workshop, hobby, and craft items — really any little accessories you have floating around the garage. It's a plastic organizer bin system with slide-out, transparent drawers for keeping items contained but visible. It's available in a 9-bin or 30-bin configuration, and both versions measure approximately 14 inches long and 6 inches wide, making them a good size for worktop tidying. They're stackable and can be wall-mounted, allowing you to create a layout that best suits your needs.

This product has a 4.6-star rating from almost 3,000 reviews, and around 80% rate it 5 stars. One happy commenter calls it a "Great small parts organizer. They're very sturdy, stack firmly together, and have slots on the back if you want added support or to just hang them on a wall." The option to stack these bins or attach them to the wall gives them an edge over some similar plastic drawer products that don't have these features.

The Craftsman S2000 10-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet is ideal for when you don't need a full cabinet system but want more than just a shelf or two. Since it's on wheels and doesn't require any mounting, it's a renter-friendly choice too. It's essentially a wheeled tool storage trolley, made of sturdy, long-lasting steel. It features 10 full-extension, soft-close drawers in a variety of sizes to hold both small handheld gadgets and larger power tools. Each drawer has a 100-pound capacity, so it can store pretty much all the must-buy power tools for first-time homeowners. If 10 drawers are too many, Craftsman offers a 5-drawer version. 

Amazon shoppers rate this cabinet 4.2 stars from over 500 reviews, and just shy of 75% rate it 5 stars. A reviewer explains, "[I] love the soft close drawers. [It] took me a while to find the wheels, they are in the bottom drawer. [It] includes a drawer liner for most drawers, but [you] will probably need to buy more if you want to protect the bottom of all your drawers. Would I buy this tool chest again? Absolutely, [it's] very well made." Many negative reviews mention it arriving dented or scratched from shipping, so if you have it shipped to your home, give it a once-over before accepting the delivery. Otherwise, most reviewers praise this cabinet's usefulness. 

A track system is an easily-modifiable and affordable storage solution that keeps your garage organized. The Versatrack 20-Piece Garage Storage System is Craftsman's version of this type of storage system. This 20-piece pack includes two trackwall pieces and a variety of different hooks to hold workshop and garden tools. It's possible to mount this system to drywall, studs, or masonry, and it can hold up to 75 pounds per lineal foot, so it's a sturdy choice despite its rather unassuming design.

Shoppers give this product 4.7 stars overall, based on around 400 reviews. A solid 80% of reviewers rate it 5 stars. A repeat-buyer explains, "I love our Craftsman tool rack. It is customizable, heavy duty, and looks great. We had one previously that was outside during the winter and was incredibly durable, so when we got our new house, one of the first things I ordered was another Craftsman tool rack." As a garage storage system, this product is intended for indoor use, but this reviewer's experience using one outdoors is a great example of its durability.

There are lots of clever tips to help declutter and organize your garage tool kit, but sometimes, it really comes down to getting the right organizing product. For junk drawer type clutter, the Craftsman Small Parts Organizer is exactly the solution. This organizer is sized to hold items like screws, nails, nuts, and bolts. This pack includes three organizers which can latch together securely. Each has 10 compartments, but they have removable dividers so you can customize the layout to suit your needs.

This organizer has a 4.7-star rating from over 1,600 reviews, with around 83% rating it 5 stars. A shopper calls it a "Great little case with some neat features. I'm using them to hold some watchmaking tools and assorted small parts, and it works perfectly. The dividers are configurable, solid, and easy to install, move, [and] remove. The cases also latch to each other using the side latches, which is a nice touch to keep multiple cases stacked together."

The Craftsman Versastack Plastic Tool Box with Drawers is a neat little toolbox from the Versastack line, It's an excellent topper for a larger storage system (it's designed to latch to other Versastack products) or as a standalone tool box. It's a similar size as most hand tool boxes, but instead of a hinge-open lid, it has pull-out drawers. These are mounted on heavy-duty ball bearing slides, so they're sturdier and smoother than plastic drawers that lack a slide mechanism. The drawers have removable dividers, so you can shift them around to hold hand tools or small accessories.

This product has 4.8 stars based on over 600 reviews. Around 85% of reviewers give it a full 5 stars. One comments, "I have a few Craftsmen and DeWalt boxes that slide out or open from the top. These drawers are by far the most versatile, with [a] decent slide and lock mechanism. The low profile design keeps the portability high and also lends itself to flat or smaller tools. Because you do need to be a bit more intentional (can't just throw a drill in there) it also has high utility due to the intentional way in which it forces organization." The drawers aren't very deep, so they're best for tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and hammers. As this review notes, they won't fit larger items like cordless drills. 

The Craftsman Lockable Tool Box is a basic toolbox at an affordable price. It's made of heavy-duty plastic and features a removable tray inside for organizing items. It has a front metal latch that's lockable (with a padlock, not included) to safeguard the contents inside.

This tool box has 4.6 stars overall from over 2,200 reviews, and over 75% of these reviewers rate it 5 stars. A shopper says, "Love the quality of this box and the fact that you can lock it up. It has different storage compartments in it, which have room for small items like nails and larger spaces for your bigger tools. It's portable and it's sturdy. Perfect for keeping tools you need close at hand when working on jobs around the house." It's nothing fancy, but many reviewers say it's exactly what they need to contain a small tool collection. 

The Craftsman 5-Drawer Tool Center is like a tool filing cabinet on wheels. It's ideal if you want to add a modest amount of tool storage but only have minimal floor space. Since it's on wheels, it's also easy to move around, whether to bring it next to your DIY or to slide it out of the way in between project days. This tool cabinet is made of steel and has five full-extension drawers. It holds up to 300 pounds, so it's sturdy enough to handle heavier supplies, and also features an internal keyed locking system to prevent unauthorized access.

This product has a rating of 4.5 stars from over 650 reviews, and over 75% rate it 5 stars. A reviewer calls it, "Excellent value for the money. For general home garage use, [you] can't really beat this combo. Fits all my tools and accessories from circular saw to boxes of screws. [I'm] very happy with this purchase." Some negative reviewers complain about the product arriving with dents and scratches, though this seems like more of a shipping issue. This tool centre is cheaper than some comparable products from major brands, though, so it might not be made of the hardest-wearing steel. Overall, it's still well-rated and most reviewers enjoy the product, especially for its price.

If you're looking for a worktop tool storage solution that's larger than a basic toolbox, the Craftsman 2000 Series 5-Drawer Steel Tool Chest might be the product you're after. This is a premium Craftsman product, made out of solid steel, with double-wall construction in the brand's eye-catching red hue. It measures around 26 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 20 inches tall. This chest has five full-extension drawers of different sizes and each one can hold a whopping 100 pounds, a similar capacity to some of Craftsman's larger tool trolleys. Like many other highly-rated products on this list, this one is also lockable, with an internal locking system built in.

Happy reviewers rate this product 4.4 stars from around 650 reviews and over 70% give it 5 stars. A reviewer explains, "I really appreciate the design and construction of this tool chest. It is very heavy gauge steel, the drawers operate smoothly, and it is made in America with a 10 year guarantee. I compared this chest to all others and I think this is the best out there. [It's] probably the last tool chest I will ever buy!"

The Craftsman Versastack Rolling Tool Box is ideal for anyone who wants easily-movable tool storage. It's essentially a stacking tote box system, with three bins that latch together to make sure it stays secure. The bottom is the largest and has two wheels, so it's possible to roll the entire system around. Another large middle box ensures lots of space for power tools, while the top organizer is shallow and sectioned for storing smaller accessories. This system has a 110-pound capacity when stacked and 66 pounds when rolling. This rather light capacity is because the system is made of plastic. It's not as robust as some of the other products on this list, but it's affordable and excellent for portability.

Shoppers give this product 4.4 stars from around 400 reviews, and over 70% rate it 5 stars. A reviewer gifted this toolbox and says, "[I] got this for my stepdad as he usually has a detached workshop and hauls his tools about 40 feet each way to reach the driveway. This toolbox was an amazing value and has made his life so much easier. The sizes are perfect for any large or small tools and the ability to keep that locked and ready to go makes it easy to haul to and from anywhere you need to go." It's the ideal toolbox for anyone who needs to carry their tool set around often between the garage and a work shed or backyard project.

The Craftsman 3-Drawer Steel Tool Box blends function and classic Craftsman style. It's another metal toolbox and has a traditional look, ideal for those who don't like clunky plastic toolboxes. This one is made of heavy-gauge steel in the brand's iconic bright red color. It's another toolbox with drawers, featuring three full-extension pull-out drawers, plus a lockable lid that hinges open to reveal a storage compartment inside. The drawer and compartment size is excellent for small hand tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and hammers. Even better, this toolbox is reasonably-priced and will look handsome on a garage worktop, while keeping your tools within easy reach.

This toolbox has great reviews, with 4.6 stars from over 600 reviews, and over 80% of reviewers rated it 5 stars. A commenter enjoys the old-school design, saying, "It's nice to still be able to buy a good solid steel toolbox; it's a good size and shape, the drawers slide well, and the locking mechanism is reliable once you get a feel for it."

While the majority of Craftsman's storage products are freestanding tool organizers, the brand also sells a wall-mounted cabinet system. The Craftsman Wall-Mounted Steel Garage Cabinet is the best-rated product from this line. It's a steel cabinet that can be mounted to wall studs or hung on a Versatrack system, Craftsman's wall track storage system mentioned above. With a weight capacity of 200 pounds and an internal locking system, it's simple but well-designed.

This product has a 4-star rating overall from around 400 reviews, and just over 50% give it 5 stars. Though it meets our review threshold, products from this line do have mixed reviews. One balanced review read, "[It's] very easy to assemble and hang on the wall of your garage or shed. The enclosed instructions appear to be easy to understand or navigate without any concerns. Overall workmanship is okay except for a few bent areas that don't impede the overall functionality of this cabinet from securing your items." 

Quite a few negative reviews mention imperfections like dents and scratches, which can be a result of careless shipping or less durable materials. This metal wall cabinet is cheaper than some similar products from other well-known brands, though, so it might be a "you get what you pay for" type of situation. The majority of reviewers still rate the cabinet positively. 

If you need more storage and work space, the Craftsman 2000 Series 7-Drawer Rolling Work Bench provides both in one convenient package. With a solid steel frame, it's another Craftsman storage trolley: a wheeled unit chock-full of drawers for tucking away tools. But this one also has a butcher block wood worktop to add more usable surface for tinkering and building. The wheels lock so you have a stable work area and it has an impressive 1,500 load rating, so no project is too heavy. An integrated power strip offers even more convenience for plugging in power tools.

This product has earned 4.4 stars from over 550 reviews. Over 70% give it 5 stars, with one happy reviewer saying, "This is the perfect size for what I needed. Small enough to not take up too much space and large enough with deep drawers to store a lot of items large and small. The wooden top is a nice touch [and] soft close drawers are nice."
