I have a few large tool chests I put the hand tools in and a decent cabinet to put my air tools in, but when it comes to electric tools like the circular saw, dremel, angle grinders, sabre saws, jig saws, heat gun, stuff like that without hooks on them, how or where do you store them so you can easily get to them and use them without having to dig through a bin or take up valuable wall space?

Guess I'm just looking for a good storage system that is free or cheap to make. I'm running out of room with the 20 ton press, band saw, drill press, mig welder, 2 vises, two work benches, horizontal band saw, 80 gallon compressor, plasma cutter, and soon to be welding table.
 
I use shelves for larger tools that don't fit well in my chest. I have two sets of wall mounted shelves, and two standing floor shelves. Tons of space and easy to access and organize.
 
My father had the same issue as his tools slowly outgrew the size of his shop. His solution was to make individual dollies for some of the standing stuff like bandsaws and drill presses, that way they could be moved around easily when needed and shoved all together when not in use. He got the wheels for free from his work. He would move them into place and then use a self designed set of wheel chocks to lock them down when he needed to operate them. Worked for him and allowed him to never have to downsize.
