How To Organise Your Workshop

 

Organising and decluttering your workshop can be a big job, but C&L is here to help! Follow our step-by-step guide on how to turn your workshop into a more productive and safer space.

 

Step 1: The Great Declutter

 

Start by emptying your entire workshop and group similar items (e.g., power toolshand toolsaccessories) into sections. Don’t hold back! Discard broken tools, expired materials, and anything you haven't used in a year - this is your chance for a fresh start!

 

Step 2: Deep Clean

 

Thoroughly clean all surfaces: sweep, vacuum, wipe down benches, and remove cobwebs. Specialist industrial vacuums like those from our Metabo range are a quick way to get your workshop looking spotless!
 

Step 3: Tool Check

 

Inspect your remaining tools, are any past their warranties, rusty, or no longer safe? Create a list of any replacements needed and ensure to prioritize quality, durability, performance, and safety. Don’t worry if you get stuck on what to keep, our friendly customer service team are here to provide their expert advice!

 

Step 4: Storage Planning

 

Organise your tools based on their use or function and choose a spot for their new home! Wall-mounted shelving from our Kincrome and Hafco range, as well as Milwaukee PACKOUT™ products are perfect tool storage solutions. For your safety, just ensure any heavy items are placed on lower shelves or the floor.

 

Step 5: Installation

 

Install your chosen storage solutions and arrange your tools for easy access. Use labels generously and don't be afraid to adjust your layout as you find a system that feels best for you. Don’t forget to leave some free workbench space too!

 

Step 6: Keep It Up!

 

The work doesn't stop here, ensure you return your tools to their spots after each use to avoid clutter build up. Dedicate a few minutes each week to tidy and review your organisation - a well-maintained workshop stays efficient!
