Care, Safety & Ergonomics

Build a DIY tool chest layout that fits diverse body types: measure reach, zone by use, add durable labels, and cut strain while speeding retrieval.

Learn how smart tool chest layout, battery zones, and circuit planning reduce workshop electrical fires while boosting workflow, safety, and focus.

Learn to restore vintage tool chests for ergonomics: optimize reach zones, tune slides, and label intelligently to cut fatigue, errors, and search time.

Prevent tipping with a 7-point protocol: calculate center of gravity, enforce 60/40 loading, anchor, sequence drawers, mobility, manage charging, and reset.

Adopt a seasonal maintenance routine to turn your tool chest into a workflow engine - cutting tool hunts, preventing failures, and protecting calibration. Follow spring-to-winter checklists and address latches, casters, power safety, and vibration to boost uptime and billable hours.
