When it comes to creating a functional, organised and enjoyable workspace, the right storage can make all the difference. This month, we’re excited to feature a guest article from workshop enthusiast, Deyon Blake.
Deyon shares how the MAXIM HD 48" 8 Drawer Roll Cabinet has become a staple in his garage setup. It’s all about having a place for everything, and this cabinet delivers! Read on to see how he’s put it to use and why it’s become the most used piece in his garage.
"My garage is a haven, a place used to detail cars and work on small engine equipment. After discovering MAXIM cabinets a few years ago, over time I’ve been gradually adding more and more to improve functionality and organisation.
I’m the sort of person who likes “having a place for everything and everything in its place”, and the MAXIM cabinets allow me to do that.
The MAXIM HD 48” 8 Drawer Roll Cabinet was purchased to neatly house a growing collection of tools and provide a small work bench next to my wall mounted pressure washer. The 8 drawers house an assortment of hand tools, from screwdrivers to drill bits, files to wrenches, measuring tools to pressure washer fittings. I also have drawers dedicated to
fasteners and zip ties. In some cases, I’ve also used STEALTH Tool Trays to further organize the collection.
On the left side of the unit, there is a two-level cabinet to store bulkier items such as jack stands, parts trays, assorted fasteners and hardware. For me, this cabinet is static, however its nice having the option to move it about via the heavy duty 5-inch castors should I need. The drawer liners are nice touch too.
I also like the fact you can chose drawer configuration and bench top materials. In my case, I chose the 8-drawer unit with the stainless-steel bench top. However, there is also a 4-drawer version, while both are available with stainless steel and hardwood bench tops.
Like the rest of the MAXIM HD range, each cabinet is supplied in flat-pack format with clear step by step instructions for assembly. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this cabinet, easily the most used in my garage."
The MAXIM HD 48" 8 Drawer Roll Cabinet has earned its place as a key part of Deyon’s garage setup, offering smart storage, durable design, and everyday functionality. It’s a testament to how the right cabinet can elevate both organisation and efficiency in any workshop.
