Now there's a right tool for every job, but of course, not all tools are created the same.
The come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which can sometimes make putting them away,
or finding a home for them, a real pain.
Now power tools are no different.
In today's segment of Xtreme DIY, brought to you by 80/20.
We're gonna show you an application that can help put away those bulky drills, and battery
chargers, into one convenient home.
The charging station is the perfect solution when it comes to storage.
These power tools take up valuable toolbox and work space.
The chargers also take up space and multiple outlets, leaving you with a mess of cables,
and always trying to guess which on is plugged in.
The charging station eliminates these hassles by keeping your drills, power tools, and chargers,
all in one central location, and up off your workbench.
The shelves allow space for commonly used drill bits, extra batteries, and other accessories.
You can see the adjustable support rods allow for various drill sizes, and the ability to
quickly add, remove, or adjust spacing.
The charging station also includes a heavy duty power strip, allowing you make sure all
of your chargers are plugged in and your batteries are ready to go, the next time you need them.
And as with all 80/20 applications, the Charging station can be customized to fit your needs,
or sizing, or even expand in the future.
Now lets jump over to the 80/20 garage, and get started.
Alright Phil, it looks like you got the project underway.
Yup, I just finished up joining the first couple of profiles.
Now where did you decide to start this build?
Well overall, this build is actually pretty simple.
I decided to start with the back portion, which will be mounted to our wall.
For that, we are doing our basic "U" shape, and joining these profiles together with some
end fasteners.
It's looking good so far
Yup, all I need to do is tighten down these bars, and we are ready to add in our shelves.
Alright
Alright, now we are ready to move onto our shelves.
For this, we will be taking our radius profiles, three on each side, sliding those into position,
and then tightening everything down.
Once we have those into place, we'll be ready to slide our panels, into the Tslots.
Now thanks to our Anchor Fasteners, we can adjust these shelves up and down to accommodate
our height.
When it comes to spacing, there is no right or wrong answer, just what works best for
you.
Alright Phil, we've got all our panels into place, what's next.
Well now we are ready to add on our top profile.
As you can see, we've preloaded and tightened down these clips which we will use to add
on our power strip.
We're simply going to take this profile, slide it onto our end fasteners, and tighten it
down.
Now for this project we attached our power strip to the top bar, but you can really attach
it to wherever works best for you.
Now this power strip is going to help us keep our battery chargers organized and in one
location.
Alright, we have our charging station just about complete.
We are just going to add a few, last minute touches.
We're gonna start by adding some end caps to our exposed profile ends and to the ends
of our radius profiles, these will help keep our shelves in place.
Then we added some panel stiffener, which will give our shelves some extra strength.
We're then going to finish this up by adding some brackets to the top and bottom profiles.
These will be used to mount or charging station, to the wall.
Alright, as you can see, we have our charging station mounted to our wall and we're ready
to add on our final components, these connector rods.
These rods have a drop-in tnut on the end, this will allow us to easily mount them to
the Tslot.
We simply put them in position, put them where want, twist them down until they're tight,
and we're good to go.
We've also added a red push in fastener to give our project a nice finished look.
Now we're ready to go on ahead and put stuff onto our charging station.
The charging station is the perfect custom solution when it comes to finding a home for
your power drills, and other larger hand tools.
The ability to adjust the shelves, and the support rods, or even expand it in the future,
provides you with potentially unlimited storage with quick and easy access to your favorite
tools.
So the next time you need your drill, you'll know right where to look and can make sure
it's ready to go.
