Double sided magnetic tool rail

[wjjeep]

I'm setting up a metal pegboard system and was thinking about using a magnetic tool rail to organize punches. I'm looking for one that is magnetic on both sides so that I can stick it directly to my pegboard panel then stick my punches on it.

Does such an item exist? My google search hasn't found many. I was only able to find one on Amazon.

Otherwise, I might try a magnetic screwdriver holder with individual clips like the Olsa one or use screws to mount a standard magnetic rail to the panel.

I see two options you could take:

• Take two cheap HF magnetic tool holders and attach them back to back. One side affixes to the pegboard, the other holds you tools.

• Pay a premium for one from McMaster that is ready to go out of the box.

All of my magnetic holders will bind on the back side, and I have a few styles and brands. Used to attach my socket holders to the inside of the truck bed when going to work on friends cars.

The magnetic field goes out from the magnet in all directions. The socket holder uses individual magnets per socket but provides a lot of holding force since they all bind to the wall
