If you need a way to keep small hand tools organized on your workbench, much like I did, then this lazy Susan tool caddy is a quick project for you. The caddy has pegboard sides held by grooved corner posts. You’ll want to make sure the holes in the opposite sides line up with each other. You can slide 1⁄4 dowels through the sides to divide the space inside the caddy. To hold bigger tools, simply skip over a line of holes to create larger storage areas.
By making the dowels extra long, you’ll have a great place to hang small hand tools like wrenches. A 3⁄4-thick plug screwed to the caddy keeps it square. Self-adhesive magnetic strips can be added to the outside of the caddy to hold smaller tools, like driver bits, a metal rule, or jigsaw blades.
An Area for Littler Parts
Adding a set of adhesive-backed magnets to one side provides a handy place to store small shop tools.
