About Hangers & Wall Storage Maximising vertical space is fundamental to creating efficient workshops, garages, sheds and warehouse environments. The Hangers & Wall Storage category at Tooled-Up.com features practical solutions designed to keep tools, equipment and materials organised, accessible and off the floor. From magnetic tool strips and pegboard systems to adhesive hooks and modular wall-mounted racks, these products help tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts transform cluttered workspaces into streamlined, professional environments where everything has its designated place. The selection includes robust storage options from trusted brands including DeWalt, Draper, Faithfull and Gardena, alongside versatile Command adhesive solutions that require no drilling or permanent fixings. Whether you're organising hand tools in a carpenter's workshop, storing garden equipment in a shed, or creating display areas for frequently-used items in a mobile van, wall storage systems make intelligent use of available space whilst keeping essential gear within easy reach. Magnetic tool holders prove particularly popular for keeping metal spanners, screwdrivers and pliers visible and organised, whilst adhesive strip hooks offer damage-free hanging solutions ideal for rental properties or situations where drilling isn't practical. Effective wall storage delivers benefits beyond simple tidiness—it directly impacts efficiency, safety and professionalism. Tools stored properly are easier to locate when needed, reducing downtime on jobs and preventing frustration during time-critical work. Keeping floors clear of trip hazards creates a safer working environment, particularly important for HSE compliance on commercial sites. Many systems available from Tooled-Up are modular and expandable, allowing you to start with a basic setup and add components as your tool collection grows or your storage requirements change. Jargon Buster Pegboard A perforated hardboard or metal panel with evenly-spaced holes that accept hooks, brackets and holders. Pegboards provide flexible, reconfigurable tool storage where fittings can be repositioned as needs change, making them ideal for evolving workshops. Magnetic Tool Holder A magnetised strip or bar that mounts to walls, holding ferrous metal tools securely in place through magnetic attraction. Popular for organising spanners, screwdrivers, pliers and other hand tools in visible, accessible arrangements. Load Capacity The maximum weight a hanger, hook or storage system can safely support. Always check load ratings and ensure fixings are appropriate for your wall type—masonry, plasterboard or timber stud—to prevent failures and potential injury. Adhesive Strip System Damage-free hanging solutions using specially-formulated adhesive strips that bond to surfaces without nails, screws or wall plugs. Can be removed cleanly when no longer needed, making them ideal for temporary installations or rental properties where permanent fixings aren't permitted. French Cleat A two-part mounting system consisting of interlocking bevelled strips—one fixed to the wall, one attached to the item being hung. Provides secure, heavy-duty hanging with easy removal and repositioning, particularly suited to cabinets and heavier storage units. Wall Panel System Modular panels that fix to walls and accept various hooks, bins and accessories through slots or mounting points. Similar to pegboard but often manufactured from metal or heavy-duty plastic with enhanced load capacity for professional workshop use. Who Uses Hangers & Wall Storage? Wall storage solutions are valuable across numerous trades and applications: Electricians – organising screwdrivers, wire strippers, voltage testers and cable management tools in accessible arrangements Carpenters and joiners – storing chisels, hand saws, measuring tools and hand planes within easy reach of workbenches Plumbers – keeping pipe cutters, adjustable wrenches, spanners and basin wrenches organised and readily accessible Mechanics and automotive technicians – displaying socket sets, ring spanners and frequently-used hand tools in garages and workshops Gardeners and landscapers – hanging hand tools, hoses, pruning equipment and small implements in sheds or commercial vans DIY enthusiasts – creating organised home workshops, garage spaces and hobby areas for weekend projects Warehouse and logistics staff – storing equipment and managing inventory in accessible locations throughout facilities Facilities managers – maintaining organised tool stores and maintenance areas across commercial properties Painters and decorators – organising brushes, scrapers, filling knives and preparation tools on site or in workshops Artists and craftspeople – displaying and organising specialised tools and materials in studios How to Choose the Right Hangers & Wall Storage Selecting appropriate wall storage depends on several important factors: Wall Type and Fixing Method: Consider what you're mounting to. Solid masonry walls accept wall plugs and screws for heavy-duty installations, whilst plasterboard requires special cavity fixings or locating timber studs behind the surface. If drilling isn't possible—in rental properties or finished customer premises, for instance—adhesive strip solutions from Command offer damage-free alternatives suitable for lighter loads up to several kilograms. Weight Requirements: Always check the load capacity of hangers and hooks against the weight of items you're storing. Magnetic strips typically handle lighter hand tools weighing a few kilograms, whilst heavy-duty wall panels, French cleat systems and bolted racks from brands like DeWalt and Draper suit larger, heavier equipment. Factor in a safety margin rather than loading to maximum stated capacity, particularly in professional environments. Accessibility and Workflow: Position frequently-used tools at comfortable working height—typically waist-to-shoulder level—and within arm's reach of your main workspace. Group related tools together to streamline workflow: keep all measuring and marking tools in one area, cutting tools in another, and fastening tools in a third location. This organisation reduces time wasted searching for equipment during jobs. Available Space: Measure your wall area carefully before purchasing. Individual magnetic strips and adhesive hooks work well in compact spaces or mobile vans where every square centimetre counts, whilst pegboard and modular panel systems require more room but offer greater versatility and expansion potential as your tool collection grows. Environment and Conditions: For outdoor sheds, unheated garages or damp environments, choose corrosion-resistant materials. Stainless steel or powder-coated steel options from brands like Draper and Faithfull offer better longevity in challenging conditions than basic painted or plastic alternatives, which may rust, corrode or become brittle over time. Flexibility and Reconfiguration: If your tool collection changes regularly or you reorganise your workspace frequently to accommodate different projects, modular systems with repositionable hooks and accessories provide more adaptability than permanently fixed solutions. Pegboard and slot-based panel systems excel in this regard. Popular Accessories Enhance your wall storage system with these complementary products: Additional hooks and brackets – expand existing pegboard or panel systems with specialised holders for specific tool types Wall plugs and fixings – appropriate anchors for your wall type ensure secure mounting; Fischer and Rawlplug products suit various materials Storage bins and containers – wall-mountable boxes for screws, fixings, drill bits and small components Tool belts and pouches – hang when not in use to maintain shape, accessibility and organisation Cable management clips – organise 240v power tool leads and extension cables to prevent tangles and trip hazards Labels and markers – clearly identify tool locations for quick retrieval and immediately spot missing items Protective foam or rubber padding – prevent damage to delicate or finished tool surfaces on hard metal hooks Spirit levels – ensure storage systems are mounted straight and level for both aesthetics and proper function Masonry drill bits – quality bits for creating fixing holes in brick, block and concrete walls Safety Information Load Capacity and Fixings: Never exceed the stated load capacity of hangers, hooks or storage systems. Overloading can cause catastrophic failure, potentially resulting in injury from falling tools or equipment. Ensure fixings are appropriate for your wall material—expanding anchors for masonry, cavity fixings for plasterboard, appropriate screws for timber studs. When in doubt, consult fixing manufacturer guidelines or seek professional advice. Secure Installation: Install wall storage systems securely using appropriate fixings for the wall type and tool weight. Loose or inadequate fixings pose serious risks in workshops where heavy tools are stored overhead. Check installations periodically for signs of loosening, particularly after the first few weeks of use when fixings may settle. Sharp Tools and Edges: When storing sharp tools such as chisels, saws, knives and blades on wall-mounted systems, position them carefully to prevent accidental contact. Consider blade guards or protective covers for particularly hazardous items, especially in shared workshops or environments where others may be unfamiliar with your storage layout. Electrical Safety: When installing storage systems near electrical outlets or 240v equipment, ensure screws and fixings won't penetrate cables hidden within walls. Use a cable detector before drilling. Maintain appropriate clearances around electrical installations in accordance with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Access and Ergonomics: Store heavier items at waist height rather than overhead to reduce strain when retrieving them. Avoid storing items above head height where they might fall during removal. Ensure adequate lighting around storage areas to prevent accidents when selecting or replacing tools. Frequently Asked Questions What weight can magnetic tool holders support? Capacity varies by size and magnet strength, typically ranging from 3kg to 15kg for strips available at Tooled-Up.com. The Bunker 350mm Magnetic Tool Holder Strip, for example, securely holds multiple hand tools simultaneously. Always distribute weight evenly along the strip rather than concentrating heavy items in one spot, and ensure the strip is firmly fixed to the wall with appropriate screws or wall plugs. Magnetic strength diminishes over time, so periodically check that tools remain secure. Can I use adhesive strip hooks on textured walls? Command adhesive strips work best on smooth, clean, non-porous surfaces like painted walls, tiles, glass and metal. They may not adhere reliably to textured wallpaper, rough plaster, bare brick or porous surfaces like untreated wood. For textured walls, traditional screwed fixings with appropriate wall plugs or mechanical hooks provide more secure mounting options. Always clean the mounting surface with methylated spirits before application to maximise adhesion. How do I remove adhesive strip products without damaging paint? Command strips are designed for damage-free removal when the correct technique is used. Grasp the bottom of the strip and stretch it slowly downwards along the wall surface—not outwards away from the wall—until the adhesive releases, typically extending 30-40cm. This stretching technique breaks the bond without pulling paint, plaster or leaving residue. Never pull the strip away from the wall at an angle, as this increases the risk of surface damage. What's the difference between pegboard and wall panel systems? Traditional pegboard uses a standardised hole pattern, typically 25mm spacing, and accepts universal pegs and hooks available from multiple manufacturers. Wall panel systems like those from DeWalt often use proprietary slots, rails or fixing methods specific to that brand, and may offer higher load capacities with metal construction. Pegboard is generally more economical and widely compatible with accessories, whilst panel systems often provide more robust solutions for professional workshops handling heavier equipment. How should I arrange tools on wall storage for best efficiency? Store your most frequently-used tools at waist-to-shoulder height in your primary work area to minimise reaching and bending. Group tools by task or trade—all measuring tools together, all cutting tools together, all electrical tools together—so related items are easy to locate during jobs. Leave adequate spacing between tools for easy removal and replacement without disturbing neighbouring items. Consider using tool outlines, shadow boards or labels so you can immediately spot missing items at day's end, preventing losses and ensuring tools return to their designated locations.
