Go on YouTube and look up "French Cleat Storage". Some pretty clever ideas.

My house came with the wire shelves and the Rubbermaid track storage system. I've found the track system isn't ideal if you have 4 shovels, 3 rakes, etc. it's better to have a couple of long brackets to stack rakes, shovels, etc.

I still use the hell out of the track system, but I don't think I would pay for the convenience out of pocket

I wonder how far down those cables go and how log of a wand it comes with to lower it. I need a couple of those. I have like 14 or 15 foot ceilings in my garage. I am tempted to build a loft space for storage, but something like this would be awesome.

This metal shelving unit was in the laundry room until we remodeled. It is now in the garage, awaiting new organizational usage. (Pic taken back when the unit was new. We filled it up much more than that.)

I bought a US made, all metal pegboard system called Wall Control and loved it. The quality is superb.

The hooks are gasketed so they don't pop off like cheaper pegboards.

Cabinets are the shite, look out on craigslist they go fast if priced right. Everything in my garage so dusty because I live on a gravel road. Can't wait to get everything off the floor so I can just hose it down.

Every man should have a pegboard for his tools. It's just what men do. Screw toolboxes.

This makes me ink about how much crap people actually have. Not that it's all crap; but it all takes up space. I hate moving just my simple 1br apartment much less a house and garage

The heavy duty Craftsman tool chests are a decent alternative if you buy them during the annual holiday sales.

The tools don't get dusty, they lock up if ever needed, and it always seems faster to place the tool in its drawer than to get it to hang on a pegboard.

Rubbermaid fastrack storage here. Love it. Amazon has some better prices than the box stores. I also have a gladiator 48" wide cabinet. Flimsy in my opinion.

I can see the need to lock things up onsite for a someone who uses tools professionally. But if you're a guy doing work in your garage with your son watching then you need a pegboard just like God intended. I'm sure it's in the Bible somewhere.

I've got old cabs, plywood with wood angle supports and wall shelving with some bicycles hanging from the ceiling. Use whatever is to be had and cheap or free. I don't buy into the whole gotta look good thing, of course my shop isn't part of my house/garage.
