When it comes to DIY tool storage, many of us simply throw our hammers, drills, sanders and more into the garage or garden shed, along with any garden appliances like lawn mowers and hedge trimmers. But all of these items eat up space pretty quickly, and may even be susceptible to damage if not stored correctly. Storage World offers secure and convenient DIY tool storage in the Greater Manchester area, so you can rest assured that all of your DIY and gardening equipment is stored away safely. 

Who can use DIY power tool storage?

DIY power tool storage can be used by anyone who needs space to keep their tools and gardening equipment. Those who work in the building trade around the Greater Manchester area may benefit from a base to store all of their equipment so they don’t need to take it home with them or risk storing it overnight in a van. However, if you’re simply taking on some home DIY projects but have no space to store all of the tools and equipment, a self storage unit could be the perfect way to make that dream home renovation a whole lot easier. 

What is the best way to store tools?

The most important thing to remember when storing tools is to ensure they are protected from dust, dirt, moisture and any other element that may cause damage. You should never leave tools lying on the ground – doing so could lead to injury and also damage to the tools. Any moisture from the ground could cause your tools to go rusty. It’s best to keep tools inside hard cases or boxes, which can then be placed on a shelf or inside one of our triple walled storage boxes, perfect for stacking to utilise space. At Storage World we also offer storage racks so you can keep your storage unit tidy and organised, whilst keeping belongings off the floor. Make sure your DIY tools are stored in a dry, clean environment where they won’t come in contact with any extreme temperatures, moisture or dirt. 

Garage vs storage unit: which is better?

It may be tempting to throw all of your DIY tools into the garage or garden shed, since this may seem like the cheapest and most convenient option. However, not storing and taking good care of your tools correctly could cost you more in the long run. 

Protection

First of all, garages are somewhat exposed the elements. At Storage World, all of our units are housed internally and maintain an ambient temperature, meaning you don’t have to worry about your belongings getting damaged over time – your tools and equipment will be in the exact same condition as you left them. In a garage or shed however, you leave your equipment open to the elements and extreme temperatures which could cause unfixable damage, particularly if they are exposed to freezing temperatures. 

Security 

Garage doors and garden sheds aren’t always the most secure, and can easily be tampered with. A self storage unit offers unparalleled security meaning you don’t have to worry about theft or intruders. Storage World facilities offer security cameras, high quality padlocks and staff on site to make sure your belongings are safe and secure. 

Cost

Many people prefer to utilise garage space to avoid having to pay for a storage unit. Whilst home storage may seem like a cost effective solution at first, this may not be the case in the long term. First of all, if you’re using your garage for storage, you may not be able to use it to park your car, meaning your car insurance is likely to cost more than if you parked inside your garage. Secondly, you risk damaging your tools, meaning you may end up paying large amounts of money to replace expensive equipment, or even your car if it gets damaged or stolen due to being parked on the street.
