This $22 Organizer Was the Fix I Needed for My Messy Kitchen Tool Drawer

In my kitchen I have two drawers dedicated to tools: one for the items I reach for daily, such as my spatula, tongs, and scissors, and another for the ones that I don’t reach for as often, like grilling tools. The latter drawer is a bit of a mess. Items sit there freely, rolling around every time I go to open it. I’d cringe each time I heard something slide back and forth, so when I got a chance to try out OXO’s new tool organizer that was larger and expandable, I let out a sigh of relief. Here’s the fix I needed! 

The OXO Good Grips Expandable Long Tool Organizer is a drawer organizer for any large or long-handled tools and utensils. It measures 2.49 inches high, 16.35 inches long, but expands out to 18.05 inches wide and has compartments and removable trays. The nonslip feet ensure it will stay in place within your drawer, and the square corners create a seamless look. 

I already owned another OXO drawer organizer, the Good Grips Expandable Long Tool Organizer, which has been great in the narrow drawer beside my stove for my regular-use tools. This version measures 2.49 inches high, 16.35 inches long and expands up to 12.83 inches wide — so that’s a 5.22 inches difference in width from the larger one.

The new Good Grips Large Expandable Kitchen Tool Drawer Organizer has been perfect in my wider drawer where I house miscellaneous tools that I don’t use as often and are much larger, such as a larger ladle and handheld strainer. I like that the white compartment that sits inside the expandable one is larger than the other drawer organizer I have, plus it comes with mini compartments that are great for keeping any small pieces or tools in place. Overall, having both organizers has made my tool drawers look so organized and put together.
