Here is a pic of the tool holders I got from Amazon and a pic of the drain valve add on that I also got from Amazon. The last one is the cheap Harbor Freight reel and small hose for shop air. I really like the tool holder - seems to be made of good metal and is made in the USA. I know...

Sorry for the long delay, but I wanted to follow up on this post and the recommendations. I wound up finally getting this all set up last fall and forgot to post the pics. I used the 1/2 inch MaxLine Kit and had to order and exchange a bunch of valves and fittings online, so it took a while...
