My Custom Wrench Rack

[BullfrogJohnson]

I have been unsatisfied with the wrench organization in my roll cart. Wrench Wracks are great but take up to much room. Ernst rails are much better but my shop floors **** and the wrenches never stayed put. Plus I have a serious wrench issue and want them all at my fingertips. So I decided to make my own setup.

Here is my old wrench drawers

My new wrench rack for my HF 12 drawer roll cart. I used 1-1/2"x 1/16" angle, 1"x 1/16" angle, and 1-1/2" flat. Bought it at lowes and built in a weekend using basic hand tools. Took a weekend and about two cases of ice cold coors light

Using my mock up supercombos. My plan is mass storage but still organized but borderline chaos.

At home in my roll cart. Still playing with it, but still needs some work. So far I have full sets of Wrightgrip satin's, Martin angle's, snappy OEXL's, Armstrong flexbox, and armstrong ratcheting doublebox

We used those before hangers on occasion. They actually worked pretty good.

I like it! Think I might just borrow your idea.

I've always wanted the rail type ones to be 100% vertical rather than angled. They'd fit more that way and you could reverse them so that they line up tight to each other if you have multiple rails full.

Cool idea. I hate wasting space.

You can always use the copper wire springs method. You can make them as vertical as you want, or allow them to angle to the side to facilitate easier reading of the wrench sizes.

I have 80 wrenches in my shallow 2' drawer on the harbor freight red 5-drawer tool cart (below). The largest ones are 1". I could probably fit quite a few more in I did somethign else with those Kobalt twisty wrenches I picked up on clearance last year, and if I stuck the little Craftsman ones in a tray.

Did you make those yourself with just household nmd90?

 

[pendragon1998]

I made the little ones with single strands from some multi-strand wire I took apart, and most of the larger coils were solid copper household wire, probably 10-3 or 12-3, IIRC. I made a flat coil for the one on the right, but the round coils do just as good a job. Some I stripped, others I left in the insulation. I probably paid $8-10 for the wire since I didn't have any sitting around.
