Just bought a wire style rack, I'm starting to regret not getting these. Went with the wire one due to the cheaper cost, but those Ernst ones do look really nice and clean.

For a long time I did the wire rack idea also and it worked but nowhere near as good as the Ernst racks.

What brand are those c clamps? COO?

The clamps are from Armstrong. Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty! Expensive as hell but ever so nice to use!

Thank you, they look beautiful. I will have to look into them :beer:

Similar clamps can be had from Pony/Jorgansen (often marked "Adjustable"; for their former name "Adjustable Clamp Co."...) and last time I looked, my local ACE had them. Not cheap, but not heartstopping prices either.

Usually sold un-plated, so I usually paint the ones I get. (which is from yard sales etc...)

thanks for the tip Outlaw, do you know if there are replaceable pads sold for those clamps? I actually have a larger "adjustable" clamp like the one you pictured that I bought from a pawn shop for a quarter thats missing one.

I bought the pony brand C clamps for home. Not as beefy as the Williams ones we have at work, but for less then $20 a piece for 8" ones, I'm happy so far.

I don't know about "Pony" but I think Mcmaster and possibly Granger has them in the larger sizes

Hi James, I assume your post was intended for me. I have a few welders and plasma cutters here. In the photo is my Miller Dynasty 200DX with cooler, Hypertherm Powermax 45 and Powermax 30. I also have a Miller 252 and Miller 140.
Maybe we should start a thread of tours of our garages/shops? I would love to see other people's work spaces!

Added a 2 drawer Waterloo middle chest a few weeks back and swapped the badge over. Debating whether or not to swap the trim as well

New HF 56" box upgraded from some old Craftsman friction slide boxes that served me well. I have everything organized except the pliers and adjustable wrenches, just ordered some organizers for them.

^^ That's awesome how you have the harbor freight box set up, what are your flex head ratchets ?

What do you guys think of a snap on krl761 for $1100 ? I know they're kind of old but it's in good shape and seems to be built very well

It's a KRL so it's the master series and very good quality. I have the KRL1001 which is basically the same but a little taller and deeper. The 761 is 24" deep. Once you try a 30" deep you'll appreciate the extra space (if you have room in the garage). $1100 seems like a decent price depending on the condition, etc.

Very nice organization. What wrench holders are you using?

Those are all Ernst rails cut to the length I needed and then the stubby ones are just some standard wrench racks that I cut and glued back together to get the size I wanted. My plier racks should be here any day and then the organization will be complete.
