For many busy contractors, in whatever field they work, keeping their tools secure and in an organised fashion is essential if they are to maximise their time when on a job and cut down on the time spent searching for the right equipment and tools that they need.
Having good storage solutions is one of the key elements to this so that every tool has a place and materials are organised to enable the contractor to locate them easily in the vehicle. Large stackable toolboxes that can be wheeled into the workplace are invaluable as all the tools needed are at hand.
Another aspect of this is to try to get in the habit of putting equipment and tools away in the correct place after they are no longer needed. Although this is not always easy at the end of a job when home is calling, doing this will make the following day’s job easier as all the tools will be in their proper place ready for the day.
Tool bags and rolls that have a place for each tool such as screwdrivers, pliers and cutters are useful as it is easy to see if a tool is missing and gives the contractor the opportunity to find it before it gets mislaid.
