hangers for hutch

[thejudges69]

The guy I got my box off of had hangers for the hutch that he hung air tools on, I forgot to get them when I was there and being that I beat him down a little more on price i don't think he is will to send them to me. Anyone have pics of how they hung there tools in there hutch or ideas of what I can use to hang them. He said he had air tools in it not hand tools.

ya... i used the bluepoint air tool rack (holds 5)

my hutch is for a triple so 72" wide, i got 4 of the racks and cut an inch off each end, as they are 19 inches long.

the bolts they give you aren't suitable for the slots and dots, i used sheet metal screws

these racks run around 55 new... with shipping approx 20-30 on ebay

but i bought mine from vimtools as they were clearing them out at 11.50 each


i'll take some pics and post them later

can you still hang wrenches in there with the air tools hanging? I'm trying to utilize all the space I can

 

[thejudges69]

i'm going to buy a few of them racks, mine is 54 inches so I think I can get 3 in mine doing the same as you did just trim them down, maybe just 2.5 hangers

yeah... it depends how long your air tools are and how big the wrench rack is... but if you organize your small air tools on one side and longer ones on the other...sure


not only that... your air tools are dangling... so you could place the wrenches behind the dangling air tools... unless you have ocd that is

I think I'll get the ones from vim tools. what are the swivel things? I can't see a good pic of them, do the air chucks hook into them swivels?

 

[lennoxlennox]

different product but similar style... so gives you the idea

how bout wrench holders for a hutch.

 

[lennoxlennox]

i didn't want that so haven't looked into it, but i have seen some hutches on GJ where people have done that and screwdriver holders etc.... search it out or maybe someone will post

 

[thejudges69]

actually my box has a surge protector mounted in it, so i bet i could get 2 air tool racks in it and mount some of the wrenches under the surge protector

 

[thejudges69]

thanks for the input anyways, I think this will work out good, If i mount the air tools as high as i can I'm sure I can get wrenches under it, at least standard wrenches extra long probably not

Where are the pictures of the new box? Did I miss them? I wanted to see what you found.

 

[thejudges69]

thanks man, lots of help I appreciate it. This has given me several ideas. Like I said I want to utilize as much space as I can If I get it all setup good I won't waste the money on a top box, maybe still a locker if I find one.

its currently on the trailer right behind me, I have to clean it up and get some touch up for around the very bottom but all in all its in good shape. krl761B with a hutch and a prybar box on the end. I got it for $1700.

Sounds like a good deal. Can't wait to see!

 

[thejudges69]

sorry it took so long for the pic, I kept forgetting to email it off my phone. Keep in mind it needs cleaned up, just haven't had a chance yet.

Awesome!

 

[thejudges69]

i'm pretty excited about it. I was really planning on buying that extreme box but this was a better deal cause it was cheaper lol

 

[lennoxlennox]

sorry... i forgot... i said i was going to post some pics of my hutch so you could see the air tool racks i put up

 

[thejudges69]

Thanks I ordered a 10 tool rack off ebay. It should work real good.
