In general, with the French word logement is simply translated as “premises”. It is logical. IN storage areas such a substrate, an insert, becomes a “room” for a variety of items. The lodgement securely fixes objects, preventing them from falling out from storage locations even during transport and upright.

The portal briefly mentioned lodgments when talking about storing hand tools in workshop. Of course, store in Such substrates, which are usually laid on the bottom of a drawer, case or box, are attached to the walls above the workbench, are by no means only tools. Often weapon safes are equipped with lodgments, keep weapons in such a retainer is safe and securely.

Most often, tool boxes go to complete with them. Ready set of keys, screwdrivers from a wide variety of attachments, pliers and everything else that a home craftsman needs is sold in lodgment.

The easiest way is to make a cradle made of foamed polyethylene with your own hands. Sheet thickness is selected individually – it is clear that for storing bolts and self-tapping screws, you can take a thinner material, and for volumetric instruments, a solid thickness is needed for reliable fixation. For hand tools such as wrenches, pliers and a screwdriver, a sheet of polyethylene with a thickness of 10 centimeters. A hole is cut for each tool.

Home craftsmen make lodgements even from polyurethane foam. Not too attractive and practical way, but in the whole substrate is reliable in use and durable enough.
