Workbenches

1. A metal workbench has unequaled strength, wood offers style and affordability, and wood-and-metal combination work benches offer the best of both worlds. Whatever your preference, consider the depth of your garage workbench. If it's too deep, it becomes difficult to reach items on garage pegboards or garage shelves, or in garage cabinets above the garage workbench.

2. You are the king of your garage workshop, the master of your garage workbench - there is nothing you can't build or repair. Some finish work is best done with the help of a workbench stand, a small adjustable tripod that sits on your garage workbench and makes tinkering easier.

3. The perfect partner for your garage work bench is a tool cabinet. Some have as many as 18 drawers to organize and store your tool collection. When shopping for a tool chest, evaluate your present needs and go 50% larger to accommodate all the tools you will add as your passion for woodworking or construction broadens.

4. A single to multi-tiered plastic storage bin is essential for any garage workshop. Freestanding or wall-mounted storage bins have small adjustable compartments for storing screws, nails, nuts, bolts, washers, etc., and many bins are stackable.

5. A rolling tool cart offers the convenience of taking a portion of your garage workbench from the garage to any room in the house where maintenance is required. Rolloing tool carts are equipped with drawers to hold small tools and accessories, shelves to transport power tools and cords, and a flat workspace, all in a miniature lockable workstation.
