I am using about 12 of those stackable plastic shelves. They are inexpensive and adaptable. If, I recall they are sold as five shelves. You can easily cut the upright parts to adjust the height. If, you want say 3 shelves, you have two left over and can use them by adding to them or whatever. They are not really made for heavy stuff. If, they start to droop, you can install PVC pipe or wood. It is easy to do. There are holes to do it.
Books? Books do not store well in heat and humidity. I have both wood antique cabinets and quality steel book shelves in my heated and cooled (AC) office.
Tools-beware of rust. Wipe them with oil if you put them in the garage. Batteries
do not do well in a not temperature controlled garage. I keep them in my closet.
NO, I do not have the neatest garage. YES, I have far more STUFF than most.
IF, I need it, I d not need to go to the box store to find they just sold the last one.
It is in my garage, IF, I can find it.
