Buy a toolbox or a fishing tackle box to hold your tools rather than trust them to the jumble of a kitchen drawer or an already overcrowded shelf in the garage. We use basic tools quite frequently around our house. Hammers, wrenches, and small screwdrivers always have a purpose in a busy household. They also disappear. They scatter to all corners of the house—wherever the last project took place. However, if all the tools are kept together in a portable box, they can easily be carried to the next project. And once the task is complete, it’s easy to return this box to its proper place in the garage, pantry, or wherever you decide it belongs.
Have fun selecting this toolbox. If you have kids, let them choose a brightly colored container or bring home a plain one and let them decorate it with stickers, paint, and labels.
