Workbench with Built-in Lumber and Power Tool Storage
Here’s another workbench with built-in power tool storage. Its L-shaped design provides space to store all kinds of power tools, and the open-faced sides are good for lumber and sheet goods. It’s a great solution as shown. If you have more power tools to store than lumber, consider converting the front to cabinet doors.
The straightforward design makes this project beginner-friendly. It can be built for $150 to $300.

Pneumatic Power Tool Station
Pneumatic tools require storage for air hoses as well as the tools themselves. This simple air tool storage project gets tools and hoses off the workspace floor while offering cubby storage for fasteners and spare couplings. Best of all, you can build it with parts you probably have lying around.
Attach a 2-1/2-gallon bucket (or a five-gallon bucket cut in half) to your wall. Pop in a 3/4-inch plywood shelf/divider, and you’re done! Wrap your hose around the bucket like a garden hose, and slide the tools and accessories into the bucket.

Rolling Metal Tool Storage
So far we’ve been looking at DIY solutions. Prefer organizing your power tools and accessories without building something yourself? You’ve got plenty of options for purchase.
Check out this six drawer, 41-inch rolling tool cabinet from Viper Tool Storage ($799). Made with powder coated 19-gauge steel, the cabinet can withstand the inevitable dings and dents that come with workshop storage.
It’s got drawers of various heights. All can hold up to 100 pounds of tools and accessories, with up to 150 pounds in the heavy-duty drawer. The shallower drawer is perfect for multi tool blade storage or other smaller items.
Moving a rolling cabinet loaded with tools and hardware can be tricky, so the Viper comes with pre-cut liners to cushion and secure items. Plus, the drawers all latch shut so they won’t swing open while you’re repositioning the cabinet.
The tallest drawer includes a power strip and USB outlet to keep the power flowing to your batteries and devices. That drawer, and the exterior, feature peg holes for additional customization.
