Recharging Batteries

Recharging Batteries FARM SHOP Handy Hints 34-2-37 "I like to have a place for everything, and everything in its place, so I hated having my cordless tool chargers sitting all over my work bench. "To solve this problem, I found an excellent new place to store them. Since I always keep the lid of my big Sears Craftsman toolbox open, there was space on the inside of the lid where I could mount screws to hang them from. There's actually a false panel that sits about a 1/2-in. from the actual lid of the box, and this allowed me to put screws through without having them come through to the outside of the lid. "I have chargers for 3 cordless impact wrenches, 2 cordless drills, and a flashlight. Most of the chargers have keyhole mounts, so they hang on the screws, but some of them don't, so I just have those setting below on the top tray of the toolbox. It's a great, compact spot for everything, and I like having it all together so I don't have to scrounge around looking for them. All of the cords are plugged into a nearby power strip. This idea cost me nothing and I love it."
