It's a disease, there oughta be a 12-steps group!
Although everybody's collecting a lot of tools and supplies according to their needs and tastes, everybody's got one exact same situation..... storage. Seeing all the shelving brought back fond memories (NOT!) of reaching for one thing and knocking over 3 others.
Best acquisition I've made so far is a cabinet. I had crap all over the place in drawers and shelves, on the floor... everywhere. What a pain in the (choose your body part) Found these cabinets on sale at Sears. Big, heavy, pain in the neck to unpack and get situated, not to mention the expense. But it's made an incredibly positive difference. Organization is good! I highly recommend biting the bullet and getting an adequate cabinet. Worked so well for me I ended up picking up another.
Craftsman Professional Floor Cabinet-Locker, Garage Storage - Model 59125 at Sears.com
They run 'em on sale for 50 bucks off frequently.
As Billy Mays sez, "but wait, there's more!" Tip of the day..... little velcro tabs on the sides and underside of shelves allows you to stick your pads to 'em and save shelf space.
