Tool Storage
Neat and Tidy An important part of working efficiently is good time management and there is nothing more frustrating than wasting time hunting for that elusive tool! Having equipment carefully organised and ready to hand saves time and makes for more efficient working. Manufacturers provide a wide range of storage solutions, which can range from small tool belts to large chests and trolleys for heavier equipment. Pouches and
toolbags are great for ‘on the move’ DIY and professional work and larger tool organisers, including storage cabinets and chests are convenient for more static needs. Storage boxes come in many shapes and sizes, made of hardened steel or polymers, which are durable and can withstand wear and tear. Many of these have partitions and some have wheels for ease of movement. Tool bags, made of softer material are useful in situations where a lighter storage system is necessary or there is a risk to damage of floors and other surfaces. Tool belts are convenient for keeping tools essential for that particular job, saving time by having them within easy reach at all times. Consideration also needs to be given
to safety and security. Well-organised storage of equipment reduces the possibility of accidents and prevents tools becoming lost, damaged or stolen. It is important for retailers to keep
up to date with the latest products in order to offer customers the best solution for their storage needs.

The Plano Hardbottom™, featuring a wide wired mouth that stays open, plus an array of internal and external pockets for individual tool storage, proved an instant award-winning success in the UK. Inevitably, the popularity of Plano’s innovative design led to many
cheaper and/or poorer quality copies, under various brand names, being introduced to the market – only to fade and die. However, sales of brand leader Plano’s expanding range have continued to grow and grow. Development of the Hardbottom™ bags was quickly followed by
