Cordless Power Tools? - Perfect Charging Station For Small Workshops - DIY Organizers

The downside to going cordless is having batteries and chargers all over the place.
In this video, I build a simple DIY wall-mount power tool battery charging station for my cordless tool batteries and chargers. When I need to use my tools on the go I can pop the charger and batteries out to take with me.

As a fellow cord-hater, I appreciate this build! Nice work, looks great

[@stephen1137]

The power of conscientiousness.

[@MrPatdeeee]

As always let "Wood shop Junkies" do it; and it will be a winner. Thank you kind Sir for sharing your innate talents with us.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Neat solution to a problem we all have!

[@DIYGene]

Great build. This makes a lot of sense.

[@Cliffepoos]

Nice job. Different to most of those projects you see on KZbin.

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

Great idea and build. The slots for the batteries are quite smart.!

[@petercornell2002]

Thanks Jean, some more great ideas!

[@michaelschmitz8028]

Lol. Its amazing that all the AEG chargers and cases just happened to end up in the shot throughout the video.

[@wingsley]

I like how you're using voice-overs during video footage of you using power tools. Nice touch.

[@shawnr771]

Nice build.

[@albertwilson3396]

one of the best charging stations I've seen

[@rocksarecool3285]

I always like your versions of these tool storage ideas. I just found my next workshop project

[@PieOrCake1974]

What a beautiful piece of workshop art.

[@JohnnyUmphress]

Great design, I really like that.

[@fosty.]

Oh yeah, this is the dream.

[@scott98390]

My friend, I've just finished watching several of your earlier builds - it's amazing to see how far your shop has come!

[@MrGeroth]

That’s a awesome idea

[@markzebell1549]

That is really cool idea for battery charging and storage.

[@fosty.]

11:33 Woah! Nice!

[@benparry5318]

I like how you put that together. Nicely laid out.

[@EngineerMikeF]

Neat installation. For working on a large job at a remote location, IIWMI'D take the whole battery station rather than grab parts. I particularly like the cord slots instead of large holes or taking the cord end apart & reassembling

[@chadgarner230]

Agreed. Came here to say the same thing. Just put a handle on it and maybe a door that's easily removable so nothing falls out in transit.

[@tashapalmer4519]

Giving me some great ideas. I’m planning my French cleat wall system to build over Easter

[@SteveMonk1956]

Yet another awesome project carried out with the perfection and ingenuity that only you can come up with. Thank you for sharing. Those AEG tools look good too.

[@kevinscudamore2711]

Looking forward to the new workshop 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@barryfrost6720]

Great project! I like the design, especially no messy cords! I wish we had that flexible plastic junction box with the snap on lid here in the US and those snap in wire connectors. So awesome! I appreciate the great designs that you create, Jean. Keep up the good work!

[@Chooch1980]

Those AEG tools look identical to those that are branded as Ridgid here in the US. Nice build though. I'm going to steal it for my Ridgids.

[@Yackhammer75]

The Ridgid are actually AEG but with a different tag for sale here in the US. Den of Tools has a pretty nice video explaining a lot of it. I too will be doing some creative borrowing for my Ridgids as well.

[@idiotluggage]

This turned out great. Some ideas for when I remake mine.

[@mindovrmatter33]

Love that, and that built in cleat system is ingenious!

[@tubecentral]

Enjoyed immensely! The design was well thought through and the content was very Instructional and easily followed. Loved the concealed cord aspect of the project. Great work!

[@380MN]

Nice and neat well done.

[@XJRenovations]

Another excellent project!

[@BAMBAM-le7zz]

Great video brother!!! Thank you for your content! Cheers to you all the way from Southern California USA

[@BushFireBrand]

Well done Jean. Great job as always. It's quite inspiring to see how far you've come with your shop, projects, techniques and even your filmmaking skills. Always eager to see what's next. Keep up the great work.

[@jorgecinelli6706]

Excelente trabajo,muy prolijo,felicitaciones.

[@martinpedersen4886]

HAHA!! I guess AEG are sponsoring with some requirements, since all Bosch and Metabo batteries suddenly turned no name brands.

[@brettbenson563]

Well done. Looks great.

[@dockjm]

Absolutely killed!! Beautiful.

[@johncarter9067]

What great idea must make one

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

Class. As always

[@geoffrey4662]

Great work

[@johnblystone8781]

Great job! As usual, your projects are very well thought out.

[@CodyBrandt580]

Awesome idea for battery storage and management. I've been inspired by this to organize my own battery mess that's been taking up a large portion of my drafting desk for a number of months now. Awesome content as always!

[@skdinterceptor2828]

Good job

[@erikjohnson2889]

Love your channel, man!!

[@bradleytuckwell4854]

it looks great and functions so smooth I have a few AEG tools and they are a reliable kit. Thanks for sharing and love your channel

[@brianvoss3461]

Love your work!

[@jebivjetrich]

You are genious, so clever solution and yet so simple 👌👌👌

[@ericrickert3045]

The amazing part of this is how you continually think up all of these projects. I love watching your videos! I have 4 different makers and all have multiple batteries. I was going to make a combo drill and driver holder with charger and battery storage, but perhaps it is better to separate them for ease of positioning on French cleats. Well done!

[@Yackhammer75]

Great work once again. I will be using some of your tips for my US version AEG(Ridgid). I've been using them for almost 20 years and I love them.

[@randypowell4799]

looks nice and neat Thanks

[@mergalinpillay2413]

Well done. Amazing.learnt a lot from your build.thank u.

[@kelvingstrachan]

Love your work. You are an inspiration. I feel the urge to start my own channel. Not quite on the same level, skills wise, but I can cut a plank pretty straight.

[@stevecunningham936]

Very Nice!

[@conrat2000]

Awesome video. I found some plastic ips on Amazon for clipping the batteries, but I think I can work with the rest of your design. Thank you for the inspiration. As alway, great video! You make everything so clear and concise... And top notch!

[@Monytoore]

Very good Freind 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@Normal1855]

Very good. And very neat.

[@stuartkorte1642]

Timer? Very nice design and the cord slots are a great idea.

[@SARSteam]

With the way power tools are heading I doubt if making your charging station more compact is a good idea, I mean everything nowadays are available corded or with rechargeable batteries so it can only go bigger :D Nice build, thanx for sharing!

[@leonfouche8470]

Excellent as usual!!

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, Jean! Nicely done! 😃 Some day I'm going to have this problem and make something similar. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@grahamtaylor989]

Brilliant

[@samuelmuise5633]

always wondered since I started watching what your nationality was given the accent. now I now you're from south africa.

[@Damon_Barber]

Nicely done. Why didn’t you just use a power strip/surge protector? Do y’all not have those where you are based?

[@michaeldodd3563]

Good job man! More complex than for my needs, but nonetheless impressive to the inner Virgo.

[@denisduvoye4266]

Gréât job

[@dngriffiths8105]

Some good ideas as usual. And you've always presented as a solid, good guy who's a fount of clever cost-effective solutions. But... The AEG sponsorship thing was way over the top, with their branding seemingly fit into absolutely every shot. I've never seen anything like it. Credibility is so hard to build -- you've worked hard for years to earn it, you've got it, don't risk tarnishing it for the sake of a sponsorship or two. The reality is that sponsors will come and go; and your reputation will always be your greatest currency, so protect it as the foundational piece that it is. Check out the Wood Whisperer's recent video on his losing the long-time sponsorship of Powermatic; it's a lesson in integrity. All the best.

[@nigellambert511]

Very neat, having just made a version I wish I had made a cupboard to hide the cables rather than using cable ties! Love the Wago connector blocks, really make life so much easier, although I believe you should have used the 5 way version therefore avoiding the need to double up when you added the power cord!

[@mariomaciasmorales6360]

As you said, might be more compact and time will tell. I have a similar station and also use it to charge my phone and in the remaining space to put my bluetooth speaker, tablet or laptop, while I’m working.

[@MadAsKiwi]

Great idea. At some point I may look at something similar myself. I also use AEG tools over here in New Zealand (from what I gather, they are rebadged Rigid), and I have had no issues with them so far. I would be interested to see/hear what you have to say about them after using them for a while. Keep up the great work!!

[@IIIofV]

I love your shop setup and your design. The neatness of your shop is excellent. Very nice video. Curious why you didn't just use a small power box like we use in North America rather then the extra time, materials to make your own ( I can only presume you have an electrical background as I would never recommend the average person wire up a box themselves, they'd burn the place down).

[@ChristianN-]

I like the installation and whole setup, but please do swap the wagos for 4 slotted ones - they're really not designed to take multiple cables in one hole, even with low current draws as these :-)

[@gorance75]

Great work,hay from your fan from SERBIA!!! 👌👍🛠🔧🗜🔩👍👌

[@chrisnorton2837]

Love this nicely organized charging station! Cool!! I don't understand, though, what the cut outs on the right hand side of the enclosure are for though...

[@Qr1M371m3]

Hey man, super impressed with everything you have made! I was trying to find the building plans on your all in one workstation, however the plans can no longer be found.

[@MrPatateHead]

Never heard of AEG, but those are sold as Rigid Tools in North America (made by TTI like Milwaukee and Ryobi). Good tools.

[@shandonjulius5020]

Awesome work Jean.cant wait for your next project.how do I get plans and measurements for your projects?

[@ahmeddraoui3872]

Trop trop classe j'emm super coule

[@quintusvandermerwe4138]

Very nice build. Well done. Upat (Fischer) woodscrews nowhere to be found in South Africa:-(

[@Loosehead]

Nice one, added to my list of projects to do. Umm...I think you use chisels the other way round with the bevel down, otherwise they just dig deeper into the wood.

[@ardiewiranataardie8230]

I love u.. thank you so much

[@sessions4331]

Awesome setup thank you for the video is itt possible to know where u bought the junction box and 2 pin fittings

[@waynesinden]

Pragtig. Let us know how AEG is holding up. Voorspoed

[@davidwood3751]

Good job I wouldnt worry about making it more compact, if anything id allow for more batteries and things to charge in the future (i have 9 batteries in my kit amd that number will surely increase due to redemption when i buy new tools) But i rekon ill be doing something very similar when i get around to it Thanks

[@jebowlin3879]

@10:54 as long as the board has enough support to mitigate or null the danger, but use the tools at your discretion

[@foekie]

Great to hear that you found a sponsor. I hope you don't mind me asking, but why are all other brands covered with tape? It's not like you are now owned by AEG, right? I think it's good to use tools from any brand, as long as they suit your needs. Just my two cents. The project itself is great, as always and has made me think about my setup. Thanks!

[@TEAMproject2010]

I noticed he chose screws as fasteners to demonstrate the AEG drill. This was likely a condition of sponsorship. In similar builds, he uses a brad nailer not screws.

[@titorosso4x446]

Very good video, I'm taking some ideas. Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but I want to know if it is convenient that the batteries of the tools are always connected to electricity, that is, charging. Can you clarify that for me? Thank you

[@user-kr3ek7rx9m]

잘보고 갑니다.

[@DanielMores]

Very neat! I like! :-) Will you be making a holder-thing to hold all your new cordless tools?

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Looking into it.

[@scottmorris4914]

There have been a number of fires caused by battery chargers. Batteries either be in charged or left in the chargers, have caught fire. So the suggestion for the chargers themselves, mount them in a metal cabinet. I think if you line the would enclosure with metal facing the charges, it should provide enough of a heat shield.

[@bradleydonmorris]

Do you have a link to that junction box you used for the power cables?

[@andredionne7769]

GOOD JOB I LIKE DRUMONDVILLE P Q

[@tchevrier]

can you stick 2 conductors into the same hole on a Wago connector?

[@markforrestsm]

Hi Jean, great project and nicely executed. I'd be keen to hear your review of the AEG products as time passes and how alike / apart from De Walt they are.. What's happening with your cabinet saw, would love to see it properly in action and those electrical connectors - where can we find them as I've not come across them before and they look really neat and easy to use. Anyways, lotsa questions for you.. Regards, Mark (Jhb)

[@jaypeeters]

The connectors are called wago's. Very standard where I live (Belgium).

[@Morpha-Ahprom]

💖

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

Saw you installing a 3-terminal Wago on the 3 leads, thus leaving no spare terminal for the "external" power lead, and immediately thought to myself: "Yep, been there, done that"

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

Then I saw you putting 2 wires together under a single terminal and I went "Oh no". I do feel like you should've used the 5-terminal Wago or at least a 2-wire ferrule to safely hold the leads together. If you _really_ want to put 2 wires together, do it with the internal socket wires, those shouldn't move thus won't put torque on the connection.

[@ADBBuild]

0:56 "Easy, unrestricted access from the front." Gigity.

[@emmydianah3324]

Where are Husky tools made?

[@MikMech]

I really wish AEG (Rigid), would make a smaller, less powerful drill range. Their 18v drills are too powerful for cabinetry and finer drilling jobs.

[@russoloco1662]

Still trying to get used to those S.A. power receptacles.

[@OmdatGamenKan]

What are workshop materials?
