ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, tool organizer system has a flat sheet of magnetically attracted material that attracts magnets attached to tools to support the tools on the flat sheet. The system includes position indicators that can be attached at any orientation and position on the flat sheet. Neither the position indicators nor the tools are limited to particular positions or orientations such as by a repeating or incremental support structure on the flat sheet. Thus, the position indicators and tools can be grouped in closely abutting relation when desired for space saving organization. The system can be provided as a kit with one or more components. In another aspect, a method of organizing a set of tools provides for efficient use of space on an open flat sheet, provides for clear association between a tool and a previously selected position on the flat sheet, and avoids loss of tools by placing them in previously selected positions. In still another aspect, a method of making a tool organizer system includes making the system in accordance with requests from a customer. The requests can include a set of position indicators based on a particular set of tools to be stored and organized with the system. Furthermore, the method of making can be facilitated by providing options and receiving requests over the Internet.
