DIY air tool organization

[A&P mechanic]

Hey guys I made this over the weekend and wanted to share because I have learned a lot of valuable information off GJ. I put this in the large bottom corner drawer of my toolbox. I like it because all the air tools/die grinders etc are always in the same spot each time. Enjoy the weekend.

That is just brilliant.... Very nice job.

I know this might be a little of topic but are the red air fittings you have on your tools that you connect the air hose to, anodized aluminum?

I'd paint it black so it disappears into the drawer. Nice work!!

That's a good idea, I may paint it black in the future. Thanks!

The red fittings are aluminum. I bought them at tractor supply co. On top of etching my name in all my tools, I also put red fittings on all the air tools so I know they are mine. (A lot of people would buy the same air tools)

The red paint on the fittings comes off over time from inserting it in and out of a coupler. They work fine so I will never change them. However, if I were to do it over I would not of bought color connex, I would of bought all stainless fittings or brass because the red will come off after a few months.

Looks really good.

Well done. Nice idea. It wouldn't work for me (very limited drawer space), but for someone who works out of a rolling tool cart, that is MUCH better than just piling the tools in a drawer.
