You know what they say ... tidy garage, happy life.
Promising review: "Well-designed and sturdy product. It solves the problem of searching for batteries when you need them. I see myself buying fewer batteries as now, all my batteries are neatly stored in one central location. The tester is a great feature, it takes the guesswork out of what is normally a very tedious chore of find the right battery, making sure it's a good battery, and determining if the problem lies with the battery or the actual device. Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to organize their battery supply. Not some cheap plastic, but a really durable and solid product. Also makes a great gift!" —Howard NY

Promising review: "This is the best price on the web for 18-inch magnetic tool strips. They are so good that I just bought six more. One little trick I learned is that if you need to hold really heavy stuff, mount two about three inches apart parallel to each other. This will allow you to mount really heavy items like 1/2-inch extensions that are a little too heavy for just one strip." —NorcalOldGuy

Promising review: "After deciding that my garage needed a pegboard, I did a ton of research on traditional wood fiber, acrylic, and galvanized steel. Ultimately, I wanted something that was going to last decades, look good, and keep me motivated to build and maintain things around the house. This pegboard solution is just awesome. It looks great, super sturdy, and all of the attachments are rigid. I mounted mine on concrete with a 2-by-2 frame. If you are mounting into concrete, make sure you get your hands on a hammer drill. Super happy with it!" —Ryan D

Promising review: "Solidly built! Works great! My daughter had all her tools in a box but this baby helped her organize. Excellent product." —Sheila Bousson

Promising review: "This is going to make my life in the garage so much easier and save me from countless hours of searching around for little items all over the shop. Now all the little items are all in their own drawer and nicely labeled. I use it for things like nuts, bolts, markers, washers, spacers, small tools, wire nuts, drill bits, taps, air compressor fittings, and tire pressure gauges. I will be ordering another one or two to fill up with a full drill bit index and tap set to hang next to my drill press. This is a fantastic little storage unit." —corey
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five sizes).
Promising review: "This tool tower is lightweight, movable, and extremely easy to put together. Six pieces, three minutes, no tools required. Though it is light, it is sturdy and stable. I have just as many tools kept in the rack as the marketing picture on Amazon, and have no issues with entanglement or anything falling over. These tools had previously taken about 10 feet of my garage wall to store, it is much more convenient to have them all consolidated into a much smaller space." —TL

Promising review: "This wall mount was so easy to install! I was pleased to see it came with a stencil to pre-mark the screw holes and a website for online video instructions. They provided multiple set of screws, so you can pick the ones for your wall type (online instructions cover which to use). Took maybe five minutes to install. Would definitely recommend and will be purchasing more for garage." —Jill

This 12-amp vacuum picks up both wet and dry messes and converts to a blower. It has a 4-gallon semi-translucent dirt tank and hose that stretches to 32-feet. It comes with seven attachments and an accessory bag.
Promising review: "I wish I had found this years ago. I mounted in my garage and use it all the time. From easy cleanup on woodworking projects picking up saw dust and other lighter debris to car detailing. I use this now almost weekly to vacuum my family's cars. Long hose, good attachments and great suction make this a must-have. Mounts easily and isn't too large. Nice that you can go from wet to dry without having to change anything. Emptying the collection bin is also very easy. Two clips and it's off and ready to dump in the garbage." —Matt Hamilton

Promising review: "The log holder holds a 1/4 cord of wood perfectly! We could've added more on top, too. The measurements are correct and it is very study. We placed it in our garage and still have plenty of room to move around it. We didn't have any problems with the length of wood falling through the bottom but if you did, the other suggestions of putting cardboard on the bottom would do the trick." —Eric

Larry B's is a small business that makes wall-mounted racks for holding spray paint cans.
Promising review: "Larry B makes a great product. We had one of the spray paint racks in our garage already, but we love it so much that we ordered a second. Very sturdy and quality product!" —Michael Vilnit

Promising review: "I was able to buy the lumber, cut and build this in about three to four hours. I spent the rest of the weekend staining and wiring in lights. I am very impressed with the results, very easy and simple build. This is my new workbench for my bike shop, now I am ready to replace the old benches in my garage with this system. Super sturdy, just a great product in my opinion." —slapmackie
Get it from Amazon for $91.93+ (available in three styles).
Promising review: "This product is great in my opinion. Installing it wasn’t too bad. Though make sure you have the right measurement tools, and you’re doing the measurements with another person. It makes time go by way more quickly. What I also love about this product is that my garage looks way less cluttered. We don’t have bikes to hang, but we just have a lot of decorations that need to be stored away and it just makes our lives way easier. We also store my husband's tools on top of it. I was skeptical about the weight capacity and it proved me wrong." —HelloKiwii
Get it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in packs of one and two).
Promising review: "This is a really solid extension cord. I have a detached garage/workshop which only has one outlet and this allows me to have several tools all connected at once. It has been especially helpful when vacuuming and detailing my car outside of the garage. The cord is never tangled and unwinds very easily. I have never had a problem with overloading it, however I am not usually running more than one tool at a time. Definitely would recommend this for anyone that is tired of dealing with multiple extension cords!" —lee

Promising review: "I had previously purchased these bike hoists to store a couple of mountain bikes in my garage. I have been looking for quite some time for a way to store two kayaks and found all of the kayak lifts to be too expensive. So I got the idea to order these bike hoists and try to use them with my kayaks. I am happy to report they work great and now I have a way to store the kayaks out of the way." —M. Jones

Promising review: "I was searching for a way to organize my kids' sports equipment. I love this bin — all our bats, balls, and helmets have a place to go. And I like that it is on wheels so I can move it around my basement. I'm thrilled with my purchase!" —JustJen
Get it from The Container Store for $59.99.
Promising review: "These racks are AWESOME! I heard about them from an article in our local newspaper. So glad we purchased them. They are really neat riding up and down with the garage door. Keeps the rods and reels safe and are most certainly out of the way! We like them so much we're going to purchase a couple more!" —Doolen102
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
Promising review: "We ordered six and realized we needed three more. The pic (above) is of our mini-recycling center just inside the door from our house into the garage. The carrier handles — serving also as a stacking ledge — are the best and make it easy to take the containers to the recycling center. Couldn't be happier!" —BarbaraL
Get a set of 6 from Amazon for $89.94+ (also available in sets of 20).
Promising review: "Installation is very straight forward and all the details you need are in the instructions along with the necessary hardware. Took me less than an hour and it’s very well-secured in place. I tested the weight capacity by doing some pull-ups on it after I was done! I only weigh 180 lbs but it was rock solid so I proceeded to put a set of tires away on it (4 x 225 width with room to spare). I can definitely trust this rack to hold four wheels with tires mounted on them with no worries in the future. I would definitely buy another and recommend this rack to anyone looking to free up some floor space in their garage. I don’t see how someone would pay for similar racks at triple the price." —Marvin
Get it from Amazon for $61.69.
Promising review: "Regardless of price, this is a decent rack that’ll hold your stuff without problem. When you consider the price, this is a great value. You could get three pairs of skis on a single rack if you swapped orientations every other pair. You probably won’t be able to get more than two snowboards due to the size of the bindings. I bought two racks and mounted them directly over each other. Took me about 30 minutes or so to do both, including using extra screws to doubly secure the racks (not necessary but I chose to do that). I mounted each side 32 inches apart which was perfect for all my gear. My stuff is now off the floor, out of the way, and isn’t being strained by those vertical ski racks that I dislike. Very happy with product." —Adoniram

Promising review: "I love these hooks. I used them all over my garage to hang stuff from the wall. The largest ones worked great for my 8-foot ladder. The welds look good, the finish is great and the Plasti Dip is sturdy. I can highly recommend these hooks." —Manuel Ott
