New Brands Carried by Organize-It: Hercke Cabinets and Tool Bags
September 16, 2013
Within the past month, OrganizeIt.com has added a number of new brands, include Herke, which produces a line of steel garage cabinets and tool bags. Here are just a few of our favorite new products from Herke:
These durable Tool Boards are the perfect accessory for your steel cabinet system. Unlike their Masonite pegboard counterparts, these tool boards are built to last. They won’t chip like pegboard, and the accessory tool holders won’t fall out onto your benchtop – thanks to the unique locking design. These boards are constructed from steel with a durable, silver-colored, powder-coated finish – which looks cool and makes tools easy to locate on your workbench. A variety of hooks and bins are available to get your workshop organized once and for all. Installation is easy – just drill into your studs through the pre-drilled holes on the boards. Each one is approximately 30 W by 22 H inches so you can customize to your storage needs – or add more panels later if your requirements should change. The half-inch, low profile is unobtrusive and requires no lumber to bump it, making it super-easy to install.
Hercke offers a wide range of cabinets and drawers to help you build the custom steel cabinet system to best suit your needs. One option to choose from are these Steel Storage Drawers. These drawers have a stackable design with the option to add a stationary or rolling base cabinet. Other drawers (or cabinets) can be placed on top of this cabinet to customize your storage space. Four drawers make for easy storing of your hand tools, hardware, woodworking tools and other accessories. Three drawers are 6 inches high and the bottom one is 12 inches. Cabinet is 30 inches wide by 24 inches deep.
Whether you need a little organization or a lot, our steel garage system will transform your chaos into a working space – a dream garage – or even a man cave. This 30x54x24 Inch Steel Lower Garage Cabinet is just one cool component from our huge selection that will store and organize your stuff – whatever it is. With four shelves and 24 inch depth, this baby will hold tons of tools, sporting equipment, paint, and more. And with the steel garage cabinet system, you can buy only the components you need for your space. Butcher blocks, rolling bases, drawers, and extra shelves can all be purchased separately to trick out your garage organization system. These aren’t just for garages either. Use them in any room needing some organization.
This rugged 18-Inch Tool Bag is great for hauling tools when you’re on the go. Made of tough 600D polyester, it boasts 22 inside pockets and 13 outside ones – enough to hold tons of hand tools (and even some power tools). The roomy interior is plastic-reinforced for secure storage of your larger items, and lined with open pockets for storing hand tools, measuring tools, electrical supplies and you name it. The top enclosure has a heavy-duty zipper and a wide mouth for easily accessing the tools inside. The bag has an inner frame to hold its shape. At 3 pounds and 13 ounces, the light weight makes a fantastic alternative to lugging around heavy toolboxes, while providing ample strength and long-lasting performance.
Bamboo Storage Shelves: Add an Element of the Exotic
September 14, 2013
I recently received a fan-mail submission / request that wanted me to cover more exotic shelves. Well, I consider myself to be more of a traditional storage type of guy. I am someone that really values function over form. However, I realize that the times are changing and I need to get with those times. So here are some of the coolest (and most functional) bamboo storage shelves I could find.
The Lohas Collection offers a variety of shelving that is perfect for the bathroom or laundry room. Bamboo has a great exotic appearance that attracts the eye and adds a touch of decor to the room. As well as being easy on the eye bamboo storage shelves are extremely durable.
There are all sorts of bamboo storage shelves available in the Lohas Collection. For example, there is the Basket Storage Shelf, which is a great place to store some additional towels. The exotic bamboo wood shelves add decor to the bathroom.
Another example of the bamboo storage shelves from the Lohas Collection is their series of 4 Tier Storage Shelves. These are really great in the laundry room, providing a place to store loose clothing, detergent and dryer sheets. Not only do they provide excellent storage and a long-lasting quality, they also add a ton of cool décor! Who would have thought that the laundry room would be a place for decorative shelves? I had no idea!
So hopefully this review into the world of exotic shelves will be enough to satiate the demands of the audiences. Those that prefer form over function should love to look at these attractive bamboo storage shelves as they get out of the shower or prepare a load of darks in the laundry room!
Storage Shelf Safety Tip for Earthquake Country
September 11, 2013
I do not think there is much of a debate that shelving is the best way to organize and store all of the items in your home. From bookcases in the living room to a console in the entryway to a buffet in the kitchen, shelves make up the majority of the furniture in our homes. However, I have started to grow uncomfortable with all of the vertical shelving in my home, and started to implement some storage shelf safety tactics in my home.
You see, I live in Southern California, which is well-known for its propensity for earthquakes. Every few years (and sometimes a couple of times a year), we will go for a little 15 second ride as the earth re-situates itself. Even though the vast majority of earthquakes are too small to do much damage (sometimes too small to even feel!), there is that potential for a bigger earthquake.
I have lived in Southern California my entire life, so I am well-prepared to take care of myself and my family in the case of an earthquake. However, one thing that does worry me is all of the shelf storage that I have throughout the home. We have quite a few valuable items that are stored on shelving.
The first and most important step to take when implementing storage shelf safety in your home is to get Earthquake Putty. It’s non-toxic, soft, easy to use, and reusable. Just tear off a piece, knead in your hand and stick between your collectible and the surface it is sitting on. It keeps your valuables attached to shelves and other surfaces in the event of a quake
If you live on the West Coast or any other area that is susceptible to earthquakes, use this helpful storage shelf safety tip and keep your items and family safe!
