Y'know, I really wish they'd put in a little hidden alcove to keep the bundled tools with the furniture. Just adding a recess to an insignificant, normally hidden corner would be neat. Sometimes you just need to quickly tighten something up, or they're a really weird measurement that's a pain to find the right fitting tools for.
Though I guess it's been decades since the capitalist market cared about customer convenience over manufacturing costs, so... not holding my breath.
I recently got a makita yard tool that has a dedicated spot to hold an allen key in the handle. It's a nice touch that shows the designers actually talk with people who use the tool.
who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
That is a such a fantastic idea. I will start just taping these things into a little nook going forward. Surprised Ikea hasn't done something like this
This is what I do, along with any spare parts like screws. Put them in a plastic bag and then tape or staple them somewhere on the underside.
