A slatwall offers a versatile method of organizing tools. For many people, tool shops can be really difficult to organize. Toolboxes can help sort out a person's clutter, however having to pull out different compartments and drawers can needlessly complicate tool storage. A slatwall is an organizational wall that consists of an array of horizontal slots where people can freely rearrange hooks and storage shelves. The main advantage of this type of storage wall compared to toolboxes and drawers is the ability to see different tools and pieces of equipment all at once. Toolboxes rely on labels and compartments, allowing people to look at only a portion of their equipment at a time. For this reason, a storage wall can save a significant amount of time spent searching. The main downside of storage walls is the amount of space they require and the time and effort needed to install them. For a person living in a small apartment, a toolbox would be a better method of organization because toolboxes don't require semi-permanent installation and a free wall. For people with dedicated workshops and large garages, an organizational wall may be a worthwhile investment. Being able to arrange tools according the particular needs of a workspace is key to increasing productivity. Even heavier tools can be stored along the different available hooks and shelving. A good organizational wall will be able to support heavier tools like buzz saws and nail guns. A person can either setup a storage wall personally or hire an outside contractor. Setup should be simple enough to do with just a basic instruction manual. Extremely small equipment parts should be stored in conventional containers. Medium and moderately large tools should be stored on shelves and hooks on the slatwall. For a person with lots of tools and a dedicated room for tool storage, a storage wall can save a large amount of time and space. Spacewall International Inc.
