It\u2019s just so versatile \u2013 somewhere you can park your car, build a chair, or store old rusting tools. For many, the garage is a refuge, where you can tinker away to your heart&#8217;s content without worrying about the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We love the garage, and just like every other room in your home, there are gadgets that help you be more productive, organized, and safe. Here are five of our favorites&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchsolution.com\/\"><b>Fold Down Bench<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0\u2013 $399.99<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-100205\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table-1024x497.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table-1024x497.png 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table-1200x583.png 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/table.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dying to do that DIY project, but don\u2019t have enough space in your garage for a full-sized workbench? This unique wall-mounted foldable workbench provides space when you need it, and folds down against the wall when you don\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike a standard workbench, this one leaves room for a vehicle, so you don&#8217;t need to leave it in the driveway next time you&#8217;re building something. There\u2019s also a version with a slatted backboard, so you can store your tools conveniently right next to where you work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/i5PYufA\"><b>Door Protector<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0\u2013 $14.95<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-100203\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/door.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/door.png 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/door-300x276.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re somewhat on the clumsy side (or have children), this simple addition to your garage will save countless bumps, dents, and scratches to your car doors. The Door Protector flexes to absorb impacts, and the lifetime warranty ensures years of use. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The kit includes all the necessary hardware to install on drywall, studs, brick, and concrete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-affiliation\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__content\">\r\n        <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/i5PYufA\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__badge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$15<\/a>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__image\">\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/i5PYufA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71AGOO3bClL._SL1000_.jpg\">\r\n            <\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__body\">\r\n            <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__text\">\r\n                <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/i5PYufA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__title track-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Park Smart Wall Guard<\/a>\r\n                <p class=\"sc-card-affiliation__supplier\">\r\n                From: <strong>Amazon<\/strong>\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__cta\">\r\n                <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/i5PYufA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/He60lmp\"><b>Pegboard Wall<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0\u2013 $110<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-100204\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/pegwall.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/pegwall.png 799w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/pegwall-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/pegwall-768x651.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re prone to abandoning or losing tools after any DIY project, then this wall-mounted pegboard could be the answer. Due to its 20-gauge steel construction, it holds heavy items without warping, fraying, or cracking (like a plywood pegboard might), and you can customize your pegboard with a number of add-ons to give you ready access to the things you need. Add spray paint holders, paper-towel holders, additional brackets, and shelves. The sky&#8217;s the limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-affiliation\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__content\">\r\n        <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/He60lmp\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__badge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$110<\/a>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__image\">\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/He60lmp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71djtj4NJAL._SL1000_.jpg\">\r\n            <\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__body\">\r\n            <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__text\">\r\n                <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/He60lmp\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__title track-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wall Control Pegboard Standard Tool Storage Kit, Black\/Red<\/a>\r\n                <p class=\"sc-card-affiliation__supplier\">\r\n                From: <strong>Amazon<\/strong>\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__cta\">\r\n                <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/He60lmp\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/ac9kF0\"><b>Vertical Bike Rack<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0\u2013 $59<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-100206\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/bikes.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"619\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/bikes.png 619w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/bikes-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making sure your bike stays upright is a bit of a chore \u2013 especially when doing repairs.
