Keep Track of Batteries and Chargers
A sandwich board brings organization to cordless tools.
My new sandwich board brings organization to my cordless tools. I got tired of leaving batteries and battery chargers behind on job sites (and it’s an unnecessary expense and a hassle to buy replacements), so I mounted them on a plywood sandwich board to keep track of them.
A power strip on the back distributes incoming power to the chargers, and a toy-box strut on each side keeps the board’s feet from spreading. Soon I plan to install a shelf at the top for charging cell phones via the two unused USB ports on the power strip.
