So I do high end remodeling.
Which means I've got damn near every tool for every trade.
So I've gotta be pretty damn organized- can't waste half a days finding all the tools I need for a job. They've gotta be organized.

Thru all the trades I have every size and shape of wrecking bars, cro bars, pry brs,tiny trim pullers etc.

Can't figure out a good way to store them all other than on between stud in thr shop standing up in pvc cut offs.
And I HATE it.

Anyone got and good storage/organization ideas for long tall & short flat and round bar items?
I probably have 40-50 all together and it drives me nuts they're kinda scattered.


Pics of your solutions if you've got one.

Crow bars can hang, and I hang those on one bar together, but what I would call "punch" bar does have to stand between studs. I do the same. I have a drawer in my HF-56 toolbox just for pry tools but of course those are small enough to go in a drawer. That is where a nail puller, for instance, would be.

take a piece of wire mesh closet shelving and screw it to a couple studs with the small flange facing out.Instant rack for screwdrivers ,pry bars, long extensions,etc.

I have shelving on smaller pallet rack type frames. 2x4 and Osb shelves, long crowbars nest in the 1 1/2 gap so they are easy to grab, same for levels. I keep most of my tools stored in boxes by job type. Have an older craftsman carpenters box with my “demo” tools, mostly bars, pullers, heavy framing hammers, etc. I also keep dupes of my thin bars in my carpentry box, but only a few, like my estwing flat bar, cats paw, and thin Japanese bar.

The digging tools live in the shed, so those bars live there with the sledges. I guess my question is if you don’t sort by job/tool type how do you organize all those trade tools? I have a few favorites, and may even have 30-40 bars and levers, but could get down to 5-6 if I had to…
Do you run crews or a one or two man team?
