Another DIY pliers rack.

[Nortonscustom]

Picked up a Pliers Rack for my work box. After getting it, decided I'd like to have one for my home box but didn't want to spend the money.

So today while walking around Menard's with a $20 gift card saw this two pack of shelving on sale for $13 something.

Trimmed it to fit my drawer width and made some adjustments using the sheet metal brake. The real Pliers Rack is on the right.

Before.

After.

Not too bad for about $7 each and 15 minutes of playing in the shop.

I made mine out of the same, or very similar stuff too - I posted about it in this thread with a picture:

What I did with mine, since I didn't have a brake, was to clamp it across my bench edge with a 2x4 on top of it and then slowly work it into shape. It is nowhere near as easy as having a brake, but I worked with what I had and it came out just fine.

Yep, you're right! It's an M37B1 that I'm working on.

Have a 24" Di-Acro machine. It's pretty handy.
