	EVERY TOOL NEEDS A HOME Smaller tools like screw drivers and tape measures are easy to misplace, yet essential to many jobs. Invest in a unit with multiple drawers and compartments like the new Gladiator® GearChest so you never “lose” what you have. Deeper than most standard tool chests, there´s ample space for hammers, mallets and bigger hand tools as well as sections for hard-to-find socket sets, matches and screws.

	HANG YOUR TOOLS, SAVE TIME If your tool collection doesn´t require an entire tool chest or drawer unit, consider hanging them on the wall for easy access. With the right hooks and small bins, you can create an effective storage system for essential items like screws, nails, wrenches and scissors. By storing items visibly on a wall, you´ll save time often wasted digging for tools and parts.

	PROTECTION AND SAFETY There is another benefit to proper tool organization. Beyond protecting tools from damage and extending their longevity, storing tools in designated areas will reduce the risk of accidents from tools left on the ground or out in the open. Be diligent about tool storage and store sharp or dangerous tools up high on the wall or inside lockable drawers and cabinets.

IF YOU RUN OUT SPACE, LOOK UP.

Don't let the size of the garage restrict you. Use the walls and even the ceiling to put up shelves or hooks that are going to help you get the most out of the confined space.

GET CREATIVE.

The garage is what you want it to be. Approach the garage as you would a room in the home and try painting the walls for a budget-friendly makeover. Just remember to pick a color that matches both your personality and your home's exterior for when the garage door is open.

TAKE IT STEP BY STEP.

Unless you have unlimited funds, your garage is not going to turn into a showcase overnight. Have a vision for your garage but don't feel like you have to spend a fortune all at once. With a modular system like Gladiator® GarageWorks, you can start small and dream big.

Where To Start Guide

MAKE YOUR GARAGE ENERGY EFFICIENT

Don't retire your old refrigerator into the garage. Choose a refrigerator that has been designed to withstand the extreme temps and humidity of the garage. Depending on the age of your old refrigerator, Gladiator brand's ENERGY STAR® qualified Chillerator® garage refrigerator is 30-53% more efficient and that means you'll save on your electricity bill.

INVEST THOSE SAVINGS - IN THE GARAGE.

When it comes to renovations or upgrades, consider the garage as you would the kitchen or the bathroom. Investing in the garage could help set your house apart from the rest if you're looking to sell or refinance your home. If you're working with a budget, pick an organization system that allows you to invest in phases. Over time, your incremental investments will make a significant difference.

SAVE MONEY, THEN SAVE SPACE.

From science projects to holiday decorating do you ever find yourself fighting for more space? If you're struggling for room, look no further than the garage. Get rid of the clutter and organize essentials to transform the garage into a multi-purpose room that the whole family can use.

CREATE A PANTRY IN THE GARAGE.

Ever find that your kitchen pantry isn't sturdy or big enough to handle all the canned soup, pasta sauce or bottles of soda? If so, unleash the versatility of your garage space and move these items into a Gladiator® GearBox made of heavy-duty steel and guaranteed to support 225 lbs. or more. A cabinet will keep these items free of dust and ready for consumption anytime.

STORE ITEMS UP HIGH.

Once you've discovered the garage can help store kitchen overflow, consider installing a deep, sturdy shelf for bulkier items. The Gladiator® GearLoftTM Shelf is perfect for paper towels or toilet paper as well as cleaning supplies or laundry detergent.

REFRIGERATE MORE.

When buying in bulk, preserving large quantities of perishables is very important. Consider investing in the ENERGY STAR® qualified Chillerator® Garage Refrigerator. It is the only fridge built to withstand the extreme temperatures and humidity of the garage. Better yet, with 19 cubic feet of space, there will be plenty of room for sodas, beer or frozen foods.
