Dish rack plier storage

[MAD]

Cut the feet of a four dollar Walmart dish rack and continue to deny that you have too many pliers.

that is beautiful

Good idea. I was thinking about bending wire hangers, but yours is a much better idea.

I just wish I had enough pliers to need to do that. Great idea

I'd just be pissed everytime I opened by drawer and felt like I should be smelling dawn....

Looks good... I might grab some and add a little rattle can work to em so they don't look so... well dishwasher friendly

 

[bchee]

the other nice thing is that they are plastic coated so you don't damage your tools or dishes.

Oh that is just GENIUS -- I was heading to Wally World in a few minutes to get some oil. Guess a few dish racks will be added to the list.

I might paint them a different color though (like red) and sell them on e-bay

And just think when they get too greasy you can stick rack and all in the dishwasher.

I like the look of yours.

I have looking to do that since I saw dps do it in this thread.

Great idea, I did notice that Cornwell has a plier rack too, Holds 32 pairs. I was planning on buying one to try it out. Lists at $24.99

Anybody know who makes these for Cornwell?

One of the coolest ideas I've seen in a while...

 

[Ryan]

That is brilliant...

FYI, if you order 10, they are 13.50 each. IDK if somebody would want to take the initiative for that on here, but it might save everybody a couple $$$

I use those same racks to hold pistols in my gun safe too, good stuff

hi, yes kitchen goodies are good for tools too. I use the drawer insert tray for spoons, knives, forks etc . for wrenches. they fit perfect and are cheap too.

I have Dollar store silverware drawer organizers in my teardown cart to keep track of bolts and parts that come off of the current project.

I'm using a 'Big Lots' dish drainer that I cut into racks for 35 pair of pliers/dykes/needle noses, etc.
For 5 bucks, it was a good deal. Have to look at the 4 dollar from wally world though.

Ok, now I have to get one. Much better than how I have mine in the safe at the moment.

The disk rack is nice, but the shelf helpers work as well. I saw these at the BX for $1 ea, so your price may be a little higher. I just cut the legs off and bent them over the side of a table in the shape of an L. Each rack will hold 10 pliers and is slightly under 2 inches tall. No working shots yet as I'm TDY for a class with wayyyy too much free time (as seen by my find of toolbox stuff in the housewares aisle of the bx), but it should work out pretty well. I'll grab a toolbox at class tomorrow and do a test fit with pics. The "Helper Shelf" is made by Rubbermaid and is part #55042

Asking for more comments/opinions of those actually using the pliers rack (http://www.pliersrack.com/about.html). Interested to read if you like the end result and space savings, or is the conventional method of laying everything flat, just a better way????????

Thanks,

 

[vette-kid]

I did the same thing with the dish racks. I LOVE the space savings!

 

[superautobacs]

Definately helped me.
