Adam Savage's Custom Tool Storage Stands
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ส.ค. 2015
- Adam's stand on storage drawers is that they're where tools go to get lost. To keep his essential workshop tools easily accessible, he built these custom stands as a solution for organizing all of his hand tools. Adam explains the design of these stands and shows off some of the more esoteric tools they keep within reach.

#AdamSavage - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Adam Savage shows off one of the most important parts of his workshop: his tool boxes: th-cam.com/video/1OPSbF6kM9k/w-d-xo.html
Is there a blueprint available to make the this stand so we're not starting from scratch?? Thanks
specialforcesnavy did you find the plans?
shandilalala sure didn’t
Have you sent the Ridgid Job Max right angle impact driver? Much smaller profile than that RA drill. Only for hex shaft bits, but still...
Do you have the part number for the stapler. Can't find it anywhere.
This man's head is going at 5000 rpm
He's pretty awesome.
Id have to agree
this is so therapeutic or something
im so chilled out and calm with how organized Adam is
One thing I love about Adam’s shop is you can tell he really uses it. It’s not a super clean, bright aesthetic thing. I tore my shop apart about a year or so ago to rewire the whole thing (previous electrical work was a nightmare and I couldn’t stand it). Everything sat on top of the workbenches all this time or in boxes and as I began to put things back I found much better ways to place things as I typically need them. I love it!
Going through a shop reorganizing process myself and I think I may throw something like this together. Probably will add a power strip to the bottom and some kind of cable management/hangers for angle grinders and such.
The tool/organization nerd in my loved this video.
I've gone from toolboxes to pegboard in the last few years...gotta love having everything visible at all times.
I also apply the 'One Layer' rule to my garage and keep everything in a place where it is visible/accessible at all times.
Slim drawer toolboxes.
I first heard Adam mention first order retrievability a few years ago, and it has stuck with me ever since. It makes working on something soo much faster, and you don't hesitate on starting a new project because you don't have to dread spending a lot of time digging up all the tools you need. More videos like this please.
Watching Adam nerd out is awesome, listening to him talk about his tools like a tool-otaku is GREAT
I like how Adam's made this amazingly well thought through Christmas tree of tools where everything is categorized perfectly and easily accessible, then shows a plastic fork amongst it...
I'd bet that disposable plastic forks are used often by him. It is great to have a tool to get in and pick at something that will get gummed up and ruined that you can then throw away.
Adam, if you released blueprints of this I feel a lot of people would be interested in building their own examples, me included!
Tested must be my favorite youtube channel of all time. Thanks guys for making these vids. When i feel blue i watch your stuff and i feel better.
Hey Adam, I love the tool shelf vice drawers! Drawers have always been an issue for me. One tip: If you store your sharpies point-side down instead of point-side up like you have them, they will last much longer. Just spray paint the other ends so you know what color they are.
Thanks for this tip. I'm making a similar one.
It's true. I fought it, because I like to see the cap color, but there's no doubt they last MUCH longer cap/point down.
@@jeric_synergy8581 Try colored tape on the ends.
As someone who used to work in a machine shop, I always really enjoy seeing Adam's shop.
Love these type of videos with Adam. Please keep them coming :)
Yes, I'm learning Alot from him compared to school... He f drawers, I say, f school shop class haha
Adam... I've spent 30+yrs as a technician and finally have found someone as tool obsessed... And generally obsessed (I wear my OCD flag with pride) as I. Congratulations and thanks! You've shown some of my tricks and a lot more.
When I worked in a multi person shop and had to keep my stuff protected and safe from evil doers, drawers were the thing.
Now that I'm in my private shop... F- DRAWERS!!!
Adam, that cart rocks. Very well thought out and executed
At 10:16, not a brayer but a j-roller.
A brayer is used to apply ink to printing plates (think linoleum prints). A J-roller is used to adhere formica to its substrate. The extra long handle is so you can use it two-handed and get some real leverage. That's also why the roller width is half that of a brayer.
Super cool, great advice! Way to be efficient!
Adam your the man!!! i love being able to see your real shop. love everything you do. Thanks
I've been dying to see these since Adam mentioned his pyramid-shaped first-order-retrievability-type tool organization system from one of your tested podcasts. THANK YOU!!
WHHY does no one on this channel that is talking to Adam, just let him finish his thoughts? Constant interrupting and trying to finish his sentences. Just let the man talk. Ask a question, let him finish the answer.
Yes, a bit frustrating from an audience perspective. They just have bad social interaction skills, and honestly I'm surprised they're hosts. I have this issue to a small degree, but then again, I'd never accept a hosting position.
I feel like they know something we dont, and that Adam may be a long winded kind of person. They (including him) may be used to this and it's only frustrating for us. Surely it accelerates video editing time. Let's face it, nobody wants to be stuck editing video for longer than they need to when one can be working with Adam and his crew of awesome people.
Sprint316
I kinda think they're trying to act like they know what he talking about, and trying to finish Adams thoughts to show Adam that they like the same things and have a knowledge of the same things
Brown nosing lol
Sprint316 they try to stand on his level. But fail. "Oh is that a rivet gun I see down there?" No dude it's not. Calm down.
Right !!!! I just resent started watching the show and I'm so happy that later this guy and the Asian guy doesn't show up anymore.
I'd love to see a 1-day build of the next version of the custom tool stand.
Tell me that I'm not the only one who gets a little thrill when Adam Savage uses the exact same tool as I do. I see several exact duplicates from my tool selection on that cart, and I LOVE it.
Loved Mythbusters...But Don't lie, Adam...That, is a brand new set of tools, on a brand new box frame.
You didn't make it, nor has it ever been used.
You might have made one, yourself, in the past...but it would never look like that, within a days of working with it.
I get it, though...You got the money to be able to make the video with brand new stuff...and you actually earned it.
So...I digress.
Hope you enjoy working with the availability of your craftsmanship, with the ease you've earned over the years.
Hope to find the comfort like that someday, myself.
Keep on building, my man...You were one of those who got my ass into the free-handing building of things idea in the first place.
was blowing on my screen when he glued the sharpie
Dustin Penner No you were not
MrJabez89 Yes I were
No you did not
MrJabez89 Yeah-huh
Stop lying
absolutely love it. definitely making one
Absolutely, spent more time thinking about it than the actual construction and it shows. Amazing cart and a very LEAN design concept. LOVE IT!
I love how excited Adam gets over obscure, but life saving tools. A man after my own heart. I can use something only once every 2-3 years, and still be absolutely ecstatic about it. I used my Rigid cordless jigsaw tonight, for 2 nibble cuts in plywood. Easily been 6 years since I used it last. Better example may be the Power Probe III. ;)
Love it.
This is like my grown-up MacGyver-fix channel.
Using tools to make something to hold your tools
Faverelli Toolception
Faverelli Hey man, I heard you like tools...
Faverelli Yo dawg, I heard you like tools, so I make a tool to put your tools for tools on.
and those tools were made by tools
+Faverelli We needed the precision of computers to make smaller computers.
Adam, you always amaze me with your genius.
6:08 the "kicker" activator has changed my life as a husband and Dad who has to fix everything around the home that gets broken haha.
You should spray glue sandpaper to the wood frame .
Like 60 grit down low , and like 120 grit up high.
So you always have a quick flat sanding block handy .
Just a suggestion .
that will look cooler too btw .
Adam is like a kid in a candy store, he gets super excited when he talks about all his tools haha.
I get so many great ideas watching these.
amazing collection of tools.
This is great. I'm going to get to work on one out of small square metal pipe and a bit lower so that I can pick it up and put in the back of the van. Thank's to Adam for the brain work.
I like his design a lot. One thing I did notice, however is that it was a bit wobbly. I think some gussets in the corners would stiffen it up a bit. Not that it's meant to be manhandled but just in case it tried to roll over something that stopped the wheel(s) it'd be a shame to tweak it beyond it's stress point and have it break apart. Well done, Adam!
That is a thing of beauty! I want one for all my sewing and draping supplies.
love the crazy ideas adam churns out
At around 10:00 minutes he almost says, "a finer [elegant] tool for... a more civilized age". He was this close.
God Dammit Will! Let Adam speak!
I've never seen an episode where Will hasn't just let the man talk. Norm is a bit better but he tends to do it too, but he's definitely way less awkward than Will too
Agreed, we all came here to hear Adam talk, not the host.....
yea, let him say NAIPEX in stead of KNIPEX
Haha, was about to comment this very thing. So annoying!
Soo annoying 🤣
I'm a retired sheetmetal worker. I know lots about working sheetmetal. My hobby is blade making, when I look at your projects
their multi trade multi skill.
You must have a whole box full of engineering degrees. I can only wish I had your across the board knowledge.
You rock!
Absolutely genius! I love it!
The interviewer should just learn to interview instead of attempting to be a part of the interviewed's (Adam's) answers.
+Gort Newton But they are all on the same team, Will works with them. He isn't just a random interviewer.
+Kiwi Gooner this vid is about ADAMS's tool stand and in this case the interviewer is just the interviewer. he did not create or build the stand, yet he acts like he did.
i like the tested videos, but whenever it comes to interview-like situations they fail epic.
I don't think he should even be there, let Adam do it
+donibeh lol what? they're friends. Will knows most of the shit already he's just asking for the viewers. This is MUCH better than some random coming in and asking stupid questions. I enjoy watching them interact with each other cause they actually know each other
+Graham Krane i don't question their relationship and interaction is fine. but an interviewer (that is his role here) is asking stuff and the interviewed one is answering those questions. the interviewer is not supposed to answer his own questions. btw. will is the worst "craftsman" on youtube -> whenever he tries to "make" something in tested videos he fails - at least imho. how would i care about his talking about tools and any craft-related topics?
buddy just picks up on adams voice language and makes it look like he understands what hes talking about LOL
Casters ordered I'm making one this week. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Please make a video on the making of the next one. I really like the idea and might implement it. As always, you guys rock!
I wonder what would happen if Adam did his absolute best on an Iron Man suit. Just going all out.
You would have a real life iron man suit lol
Good point, though Adam never disappoints!
It would likely work
you are about 3 yr too early, look at the first episode of his new show savage build
Welp, we found out xD
Is dust settling on the tools an issue? I like the tool stands, but I have endless issues with dust and humidity causing rust on anything that sits uncovered for a week or more. I may come up with a covered version of the racks though.
I feel your pain. I work in a body shop.. My tools are in closed drawers and still get covered in dust. But no its not an issue at all... Just gets your hands/clothes dusty.. But if your in a dusty environment that shouldnt be an issue..
@@geomod6850 I like to use drum liners for tarps. They're big and round. The tarps are open on the sides unless you take extra time to lash them tight. Then it's a pain to get them off. Yep drum liners that's the way to go.
WD-40 is a good rust preventer. I use that on many of my tools. The downside is that it attracts dust.
Now I see that you have made it not an organization of your tools but a presentation of just the stuff you have real tool organization would lead you to the conclusion of what you need comes first and what you don't need goes over there
Use a wooden ladder, affix bottom brace to keep it open, drill some holes, good to go!
awesome dude........i have a few old ladders to try that with....thinking outside the box......maybe use some slick plastic cutting board material on the bottom as skids instead of wheels......maybe less liable to tip over?
Love the wrack, just imagine tripping and falling into it.....at all the crap that would stick into you, then get glued down, LOL
Wrack????? WRONG!!!!!
Adam is such a geek when talking tools but a very interesting guy and a genius and very warm hearted person :)
If Adam ever retires he should open up his shop as like a museum because I would pay to take a tour of it. His shop ideas are really inspiring and I always look forward to seeing what he has in mind.
If you cant get your hands on one of those medical stapler thingys he showed, get a pistol grip fish hook remover
thank YOU ,,I have been looking for some thing to go down into my sparkplug hole to pick up a washer that fell in ..that is going to do the trick!!!!
deepsquat600 That is exactly what i used mine for!!! I found mine at Gander Mtn. on sale for 5$ and knew it would be perfect.
Ebay. Laparoscopic surgical instruments
Make friends with a surgical nurse. Hospitals use those, and many other tools, once and then throw them away.
Thanks internet guru
Hey Adam, Any chance I could get the measurements or design plans for that tool rack? I would love to get rid of my draws.
take a damn screen shot and use some common sense!!!!
I was searching the comments for a plan and feel like this comment was directed at me. Heh. I'm going to do just that now. I liked someone else's idea to make the top removable.
Awesome design love it
Adam reminds me of my grandfather. He used to do these sorts of cool things for his shops. I am so happy that there are people out there that won't let the talent of creation die. You should see some of the things my Dad has made just because he needed it. He never buy's specialized tools, he makes them. :D
Does anyone know what model are those Knipex at 3:42?
Adam, you ought to keep your CA Glue in a fridge. I do and it lasts 12 to 24 months at least.
Great minds think alike! It's time for a Jimmy Diresta and Adam Savage (Tested) mash up. You both created the same project with amazing and unique variations. Combine the two and the world will explode!
Good to see Lean Manufacturing Techniques in action!!
First order retrievability.
If only retrieving traitors was so easy.
Tested Any chance you could release a set of designs in sketchup or something?
Even just basic measurements would be great! I am going to make one for sure.
+Brian Hiatt This is why we learned algebra in school, people.
+nzlemming judging by the video and taking adam's height into account, the stand is 12 feet high.
not sure why im watching this (started checking trucks out lol) but i realized that Adam would be such a cool teacher and youd learn alot from him building something!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing something you took a long time to figure out.
I love those Makita drivers as well. I'm a firefighter, and things around the firehouse are contantly breaking (because we are big, dumb animals). I keep a tool bag in my car with those small drivers and they are AWESOME. My fellow firefighters have duplicated the setup after using them.
***** It could be that when he says "firefighter" he's a fighter who uses fire?
RuffneckRaven Liu Kang?
***** If you like fire to an irresponsible degree, you either start fires, or become a fire fighter.
+NerdishAzn The 10.8v. They have more power and torque than you would think.
1:44 - Will, trying to sound like he knows more than jack shit, and fails, whilst interrupting Adam's train of thought. Typical.
This is my favorite video on TH-cam. I have watched it like 6 times
I love this! I’m a tool nut, like a lot of people watching this, and this gave me a lot of great ideas! 👍
Adam Savage is my hero
"I reject reality and substitute my own"
Handling bottles of super glue is a great time to have an itchy eye, 7:37
Or screwing an important screw in a confined space
Or spray painting newly made project and trying to make it look exactly like the original, u get a sneeze, a very bad stomache, an itchy eye, scalp or someone screaming for to eat dinner or repair their shit
I can't finish this video because of this absolute lad of a host.
It has a great flow. Nice work!
If Adam wasn’t so interesting and inspiring, I would skip every video this guy is in!
I am the exact opposite. I have gone from open tool storage (peg boards, rail racks, magnetic strips, etc) back to drawers. I have a much higher storage density with a higher degree of organization. Plus it keeps my tools clean when not in use.
Of course part of this also comes from the fact that I spend about six months out of each year working on site in one of three conditions: 1) Fly in job where everything has to come with me on the plane, 2) Drive to job where depending on the size of the project I have either my SUV, SUV & trailer or a truck, 3) European projects where I fly with a few custom tools (you have to love Pelican cases) and stop in London to pick up the job boxes I have stored there.
Needless to say none of these work conditions are in anyway conducive to rolling carts and open store tool systems. One of the mobile transport systems that I really love right now is the Rigid 22in Pro cases from Home Depot. These boxes are solid as a rock, stack & lock together and are water tight when closed.
Your situation is completely different than Adam's, so it's natural that your tool storage solution would be different. What you have now makes sense for your current needs, and it is great that you are happy with it. The advantages you list for your system are accurate, however, you leave out the disadvantage. You sacrifice the ability to grab any tool at any time, costing you speed. And it means you are putting tools down somewhere other than their designated storage place. That's a recipe for creating a messy work environment, and possibly losing a tool. Cases can be made to be hung on a rack while open, allowing instant access. Cases with the tools you use less often can be stored on the back side. The cart can be made to fold for travel. It's wheeled base will help you move your heavy tools around airports.
Just because I have a mobile tool setup does not mean it is unorganized or messy.
Case in point: I have one case that holds my 20v impact, 20v hammer drill, 20v charger, hole saw kit, 40pc HS drill set, 10pc masonry bit set, impact rated driver bits (standard through security), stepper bits, tap set with cutting oil and a few custom rotary tools I have created. (NOTE: the saws, drills and driver bits are all in bespoke cases within the main case for organization)
While this kit does not specifically meet Adams F-O-R standard it does contain within a standard size box (the previously mentioned Rigid system) everything needed to make holes and attach fasteners in most materials.
There is also the point that on job sites you seldom work directly from your transport cases but rather from small task bags or tool belts. You aren't sitting a pristine workbench with your cup of coffee, you are climbing ladders, working from lifts, trudging through mud and in general having to deal with whatever conditions the site delivers. You carry only the tools needed for each specific task.
You also seldom have a "shop" area on a job site where you can run open, unsecured tool systems. Those who do not keep there tools locked up an a job are typically the ones having to borrow yours because theirs were stolen.
Yes, Adam's situation is different from mine. He basically has a big box of toys in his own private playground and I have to make a living with my tools where ever the job takes me.
Re-read my comment. I never said your system was unorganized, or messy. I said you waste time with it. However, if you only work from tool belts, that's a different thing entirely. Feel free to insult people who work in shops, if that makes you feel superior.
You wrote: "You sacrifice the ability to grab any tool at any time, costing you speed. And it means you are putting tools down somewhere other than their designated storage place.That's a recipe for creating a messy work environment..."
This is insinuating that my system is unorganized and therefore messy.
If you can sit in one location and have all of your tools within immediate reach then you really don't have that many tools. And if you have the discipline to have an organized shop tool system then you have the discipline to have an organized mobile tool solution. Yes, things can get messy on job sites but that is why I work small task groups then return to my tool area to reset for the next set of tasks.
It was not an insult but an opinion built over 40 years about the difference in work techniques and methodologies between those who only work in there own shops and those who have to work in a wide variety of environments and situations. I have worked with many people who were great craftsmen in their own spaces but couldn't cut it in the field because they couldn't adapt their fixed shop routines.
seeing so much organization I'd an amazing thing
Just the excitement alone in this video shows how valuable having tools readily available and having to put them back in their places just as easily is worth having it set up on a roll of weight cart like it is.
It makes you want to do more projects and be productive.
ONE DAY BUILD!!!
PLEASE stop intrrupting. Let Adam talk.
Tiit Saul he has a bad habit of relating a lot of things to himself instead of letting the other person talk. he'll grow out of it.
w0mbles normally i'd agree with you, but when it comes to a video like this about someone else showing off and explaining what they did, it can strike people as interrupting. would you trade a personal anecdote for a trenchant question? i'm sure plenty of non-jealous people choose the latter.
*****
Stainless screws........
Tiit Saul If you let adam just talk, they'd have 3 days footage before they knew it. They have to appeal this to all audiences not just the people who could watch him for 3 days talking about some stands . Some things norm butted in on helps break it up.
w0mbles Will and Norm are amazing. These people hating on them should go to another channel
Well that’s really the best someone like adam Savage showing us how he does use his tools and built his Things, I really love to see all of his Tools and tool shop and him explaining how to built certain things, I can really learn a lot from this, it is the same as looking over the shoulder of a really experienced computer expert using Linux or unix for instance, you can really pick up new tricks and learn something from it...Thanks for this !!!
They're so right about tools in boxes/drawers being lost. I am not much of a maker, and my workspace is just a garage, but all small hand tools are on a pegboard and larger tools on narrow shelves, so things aren't pushed behind. I can see everything and it is so much quicker!
How could you not have said "It wasn't a Permanent Marker"
Does the color balance seem off to anyone else?
Tim Calvin Perhaps the white balance couldn't cope with two pale ginger guys wearing blueish clothes.
Tim Calvin Color grading seems to be the issue. As the camera records in S or V log which is a flat profile. Possibly a rush job to produce more content.
Looks like the main cam is an ungraded (or badly graded) sony and the b cam is a canon. It doesn't cut well and is distracting! Pity as it's a good video all the same.
CreatureOTNight If they did in fact shoot log, they probably just applied a generic LUT.
Tim Calvin Sudden outbreak of jaundice in the Tested office, perhaps.
Awesome video! Great idea for limited space with organization as well.
His story is sooo recognizable!!!
Adam should of demonstrated how the fast dry glue works on Will's lips. It would of went to a 14 minute video to a 3 minute video.
Cut piano wire all day.... Something an Assassin would say
47 might like that tool 😂
This video made me go out and buy those Makita drills. Best shop buy ever! Thank you, Adam
I wish there was a video of him making one of these. I like seeing Adam making things for a more efficient work space. It's very satisfying. Don't know if you guys are looking for ideas for content but pick me! Lol
To improve my first order retreivability, I need your workshop address...
Dude Adam you need to patent that thing and sell it.
Mr_NarwhaL If someone has that many tools but isn't capable of building that stand themselves then they should give away their tools :)
Rob Jeffrey Yeah but an aluminium or plastic industrial quality one would be cool.
Rob Jeffrey hey you get outta here with your logic! Nah jk, but I'm sure there would be some mechanics or whatever that haven't thought about this, and would want one.
synical13 o shit, grape jelly, shit just got real.
Rob Jeffrey "There tools"? Where tools? I don't get it. If someone isn't capable of not making a mistake in their sentence, then they should give away all of their keyboards. I could use a new one... >:P
Adam thanx I just happen to have been going the " F the drawers " way when I came upon your video and it was a major help my friend. Thanx again from Ocean City, NJ.
As a mobile locksmith with a small vehicle this is the kind of thinking that will make my life easier and my business more profitable. Thanks Adam.
When will they get interviewers that know what they're talking about
Who cares? Why would the interviewer need to know anything?
@@dcan911 to make a good interview
@@irongreek7722 but then what would you moan about?
@@dcan911 something else
It was annoying me too
Doesn't matter what tool storage system I have, I put something down on my modelling bench and it frickin' teleports as soon as I take my eyes off it. I've found things that I put down less than two minutes ago underneath things that I KNOW havn't moved for three weeks before now. If somebody ever figures out how tools move through N-dimensional space, we'll have an FTL drive five minutes later....
+Harold Weaver Smith My theory is they get kidnapped by the missing socks...
And Time travel as well. One time, I went into a tool store and traveled instantly to 6 hours into the future.
This happens to me a lot and drives me literally insane. I have sometimes had to stop work because of a lost tool that was in my hand two seconds before.
Great video. I like to nail tool belt pouches to the wall around my work area. They work well for jamming a bunch of tools in.
Two of my favourite adam savages
OMG! Mr. Savage, Where can I purchase one of those medical staplers?!?
I work on boats, there are places that no human can reach all over a boat, please where can I get one...
666Tomato666 Of course! why didn't i think of that?
Thank You
I bought a full set of ethicon endosurgery tools for $10@swap meet; the locking titanium truly needle nosed pliers are very handy and surprisingly complicated with their multilink jaws- fits easily down drinking straws with jaws shut, but shafts don't flex whatsoever
Abe Lincoln s working on boat wiring and plumbing upgrades, i found usb borescopes, crochet hooks that could be rebent (not aluminum or plastic) and those crescent extended needle noses( after some grinding) worked better for the amount of grip I needed with 5200 slopped upon wires and fasteners. Also, buy cheap bolt cutters and grinder the jaws into whatever esoteric bank breaking tool you need, like a crimper. They all will either sink some day or rust up anyways and making new tools periodically makes the job more fun.
Get a vacuum with a long bendable snout.and put a course filter net in between it and vac hose to grab non magnetic boat fasteners that fall and sawdust extraction.
