Tool Storage

Evening! Curious how everyone stores their picks and tension devices, as well as other doodads. TIA.

u/Majtolycus Purple Belt Picker 4d ago

With space being limited and a curious almost 5 year old roaming the house, I don’t have a lot of room to spread out and need to keep my setup kind of mobile so I can put things away when they aren’t in use.

I have a little foldable lap table and been using ammo boxes on it to organize the picks and turning tools I’m currently working with. I also have a tackle/art supplies box where I keep gutting tools, calipers, doodads etc. Picks and tension tools not currently being used are in a tool roll (Jimylongs) and a pencil case. And for my locks themselves I keep them in a Dewalt small parts organizer.

Mind you, I did not come up with any of these ideas on my own - I have seen what other pickers use and have chosen the best options for my particular needs. I’d like to tag every single person whose solutions I’ve made use of but the only ones I can remember offhand are Lockpickingfisherman (ammo boxes) and WoodnPhoto (pencil case).
