Aviation snips rack

[OccupantRJ]

Made a rack for the right, left, and straight cut aviation snips. Another will be coming that holds 5 sets, which are the three above, plus 2 offset jaw types.

Geez, I need to get a brake so I can make some of these racks you're turning out. Keeping snips near my files would be great, and the files need this same type of rack!!!

very nice.

spork, you don't need a brake. I know you weld, so make one of these.....It's 1/8" aluminum, welded and painted. Mounted one like it on the end of my welding table.

OK, here's the 5 snip version, along side a vise grip rack of older vintage. They were made years apart, therefore the backplate height difference. This gives the OCD folks something to focus on.

thats slick. its the little details like that, that make a shop work well

Good point, and aluminum is choice over the steel for files.
But, I'm getting tired of compensating for not having a brake by fusing sheet together. I think it's around third on the list of needed shop toys.

Those are some nice racks.

Looks like that idea would work for screwdrivers too. Guess I'll have to make a rack.

It will work well for screwdrivers. I have one I used in my old shop for unusual screwdrivers and similar handled tools to keep them seperate from the ones in the toolbox drawers.

These are a great idea! Simple materials, reasonably easy to make and look good!
