How to store t-handle hex wrenches in a compact way

[ilya]

I bought a set of Craftsman t-through handle hex wrenches and I'm wondering how to store them compactly in my smallish toolbox. I.e. I don't have enough drawer space to lay them out flat. So far I've seen only t-handle stands and racks, both of which won't fit into my toolbox. Are there any other options?

Do you have a workbench? If so i would buy a rack to place them in and keep them on the bench,if they won't fit laying flat, must be a real small box.

Those SOBs take up a lot of space unless you stack them together and then 69 them; they fall under the same category as Crescent wrenches and distributor wrenches, bulky.

A storage rack like this would be the ticket; problem is I cannot seem to find them by themselves, all the ones I see come with the tools as a set!

Make your own storage rack... that's what I would do. Build it to YOUR specs.

Nope, that was me. =P Oh the irony!

I cannot recall ever season a well organized t-handle set that wasn't on the wall or flat surface stand. Good luck!

I found some aluminum angle stock at home. I'm thinking about drilling some holes in it and calling it a t-handle stand :-).

I wish they would list how high this thing is (and it looks like a wrench would add to the height).
