As warmer weather approaches, it’s important to consider how you’re going to stay cool before you get caught off guard by that first major heat wave. This Central Machinery Wall-Mount Fan ($149.99) is perfect for garages, workspaces, patios, and more, helping to keep air moving when you need it most.

It also doesn’t hurt that it’s earned a 4.9-star average rating on the Harbor Freight website, with many customers calling out the relatively low price. “I should’ve bought this fan a very long time ago,” writes one.

If you’ve been scooping up all of those Bauer tools, you’re going to need a little extra juice to tackle that ambitious project list. This Bauer Lithium-Ion Battery ($34.99) is the backup you’ll need to keep the work going.

Sometimes, the best organizational tools are the ones you never saw coming. This U.S. General 25 lb. Magnetic Hook ($7.99) is as simple as it gets, turning any metallic surface in your garage or kitchen into a place to hang tools, hardware, and more. Our favorite recommendation from customers who are thrilled with their purchases is using these during travel to increase storage space, especially on cruises!

In an era where everything has a charger, outlet access has become more precious than ever. This Vanguard 5-Outlet Grounded Power Hub ($14.99) is the perfect way to expand what you’re working with, boasting a 1,875-watt capacity. Pro tip: Customers who’ve purchased this item say it’s great in the workshop, but also fantastic for doling out power from your generator.

It’s pretty hard to get the job done if you can’t even see what you’re doing! Instead of fumbling around in the dark, look on the bright side with this Braun Rechargeable Portable Folding LED Work Light ($21.99). It provides 500 lumens of light and can be positioned or hung to help you go hands-free with your illumination.

If we’re being honest, there are few simple inventions out there that have changed our lives quite as much as a good set of zip ties. That’s why you’ll never catch us without a 100-pack of Storehouse Black Cable Ties ($7.99) on hand. We especially love them for cord and cable management around the house and office, but they’re also great for hanging outdoor lighting, securing garden fixtures, and pretty much anything else you can think of.

If there’s a single tool you’re going to have to own at some point, it’s a good screwdriver. But as you’ll quickly become aware, having only just one on hand is never enough! You’ll be prepared for practically any screwy situation with an Icon Professional Mechanics Screwdriver Set ($49.99), which comes with eight different-sized tools for all types of jobs. It’s also split evenly between Phillips head and flathead, all made with a super high-grip base.

If you’re grabbing all this new gear and hardware, you’d better have a place to put them! Storage becomes a breeze with this U.S. General 5-Tier Heavy Duty Garage Shelving ($139.99). It can hold up to 5,000 pounds and can also be configured as a lower set of racks if you’re tight on space.

Working a job far away from your main toolbox? This Hercules Large-Mouth Tool Bag ($59.99) is one of the most affordable (and simplest) ways we’ve seen to stay organized, thanks to its wide opening that makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

And while this might seem like the in-between solution for your tools and supplies, some shoppers say it’s convenient enough that it could also be used as full-time storage.

“This is a great bag,” says one 5-star reviewer. “You can fit so much in it, and it is made of very durable, thick material. It stands up on its own, which is great. Lots of places to put things away and give them a permanent home.”

Looking for something a little sturdier for storage? Customers love this Bauer Modular 2-Drawer Toolbox ($69.99) for being spacious and capable of holding up to 50 pounds of tools and supplies, not to mention its durable build. In the reviews, they call it “the best bang for your buck,” adding that it’s “good quality, sturdy, not flimsy.”

Even if you’re only moving things around your house, it’s amazing how much having a Franklin 4-in-1 Convertible Hand Truck ($189.99) on hand can help. With a capacity of up to 1,000 pounds and 4 different configurations, it makes it so much easier to cart around heavier parcels and equipment, especially if you’re going off-site.
