How do you store your hammers?

[Junkman]

I have a very large collection of hammers of every size, and description. I have never found a suitable method to keep them, other than to toss them all into the base of the toolbox. How do others store hammers? thanks Junk...

I stand them up on their head on a level shelf, with the handle pointing straight up.
Not all hammers will do this, especially certain claw hammers.

Loose in the big bottom drawer. No sorting or direction, except a little some this end some that end at the top of the drawer to pack more in.

I also store most of mine on long double pegs on my pegboard body hammers go together ball piens on anather the small sledges get their own hangers . I keep all my dollies and slide hammers laid out in the bottom drawer of one of my cabinets.

Hang em on peg board!!

 

[BrianAltenhofel]

I use the hammer to drive two nails in the wall to hang the hammer from.

Right now my hammers are kept in a 5-gallon bucket,
which I will be the first to admit is a terrible way to store them.

Soon I will have drywall.
Soon after that I will hang pegboard.
Soon after that I will hang my hammers from the pegboard.

for some reason this thread struck me as funny... and my mind wandered... I'll go take my meds now


surely some of you are acquainted with Feng Shui... the oriental art of energy usage for positive results. It is the practice of arranging objects to help people achieve their goals. Below are principles associated with this art and hammers.... it's pretty much a compendium on 'how's your hammer hangin'



Be it from the nearby roll-away cabinets, from a tool further away , such as a compressor or band saw, or from a sharp wall corner - be sure to neutralize all the sharp energy aiming at your hammers.

Energy wise, sha chi, or feng shui poison arrows, are exactly what they sound like - arrows of strong, attacking energy pointing at your personal energy field. It weakens your energy and is certainly not promoting good health and well-being. You certainly don’t want your energy fields weakened by poor feng shui in hammer placement. A harmonious neutral or positive energy field should surround your work area and those items it holds.

All hammers should be aligned with their respective polarity. This is determined on the second equinoxical full moon of each season when all hammers should be set free in the yard to seek their polarity.. once it finds it’s proper alignment you should store the hammers in the same position in your tool assortment… this will add to the strong energy field in your work area. All handles should be removed so as not to resemble the sha chi arrows and only installed for a single task at hand. Never use your tools in anger as this can lead to release of negative energy on your fingers, toes and heart (if you are clumsy). Never store them overhead either as this can lead to negative energy being released on yo’ head. Hammers should be respected and addressed by their proper name before use. This will show the tool that your respect is genuine and it will release it’s energy in the proper dimension.

Body hammers go in the drawer with other body tools.
Small sledges, all my ball pien hammers, dead blow hammer and rubber mallet go in the top drawer of the bottom half of my tool box. It's tight, and not ideal, but works. I have to alternate them with the heads and handles either at the back or front of the drawer to take up less space. It's a standard Craftsman roll-away, not a 40-inch wide box. That'd make life a little nicer.
Claw hammers are hung on the tool belt, which is hung on the pegboard.

I'm in the process of building a hammer-forming "station" for my round shot bag. I'll have a way to hang all my hammers on it when it's finished.

I guess that this is a classic case of "ask a stupid question, and get a stupid answer".....

This is what I am presently using, but unfortunately, the larger hammer handles won't fit between the sides of the hook..

The classic question, how is your hammer hanging, never answered before in such detail.
