Plastic toothbrush holders can cost as little as $1 and are extremely handy for storing smaller tools in the workshop.

The plastic casing will protect tools from dust, grime and other particles and make for easier storage and mobility. Carrying tools around in a toothbrush holder is a much better option than letting them loose in your toolbox or pockets!

Similarly, toothbrush holders make for neater and more organised storage. If the drawers in your workshop are a chaotic jumble of nuts, bolts and hand tools, utilise toothbrush holders and zipper bags for a budget-friendly way to organise the mess.
