Pliers organizer

[Crabman]

Got a new tool box (will post pictures in that thread).

I have a lot of pliers, in part due to the efforts of a52 and Duker in the Hot Deals area.

What do people have that work well?

Thanks to all, Bruce

I have 5 of the Snap-on pliers organizer racks in black. They come in a ton of colors for $17 ea. They are made by Ernst so if red works for you the original Ernst branded racks are only $12.99.

I bought 2 racks on Amazon from Olsa Tools that work well and were $13 each. Pretty sure they are made in China though which is my only complaint as I would have preferred made in USA.

I picked up 2 of the new harbor freight plier racks for $7 each when the had the 30% off anything under $10 coupon and went from this

To this

I have some Snap-on / Ernst racks, they work just fine for me, sorts thing out well. The prices I saw for the Ernst was only a couple dollars less then the Snap-on.

Wire dish rack from Dollar Tree. When I bought them they had two sizes, I used one for smaller pliers and one for bigger.

I get dvd racks from thrift stores and swap meets for a couple bucks. I have upgraded several times.

Thanks for all the great replies!

Might take a look at wire racks at the dollar store or dvd racks to save a few bucks, or can move to "store bought" if those don't look good to me.

All the pictures look way better than where I am at now.

Close mesh closet or pantry shelving is another option. It's slightly more difficult to cut up than a dish drain due to the thicker gauge wire, but works fine.

Went to Dollar Tree, struck out.

Went to HF, same.

Still on the hunt.

This is one of the type of things I am shocked HF doesnt have, is all kinds of tool organizer items for boxes. Would also expect multiple types for each tool as people's preferences differ. Seems like a perfect segment for them to be in especially with cheap overseas manufacturing.

I couldn't find one I liked so I made my own

I started out with the Olsa Tools version with adjustable dividers that Duker had posted up as a Amazon deal a couple years ago.

A couple months later when I wanted to purchase more units and some extra dividers, they had discontinued them and the company could not supply parts for them. Since that day, No more Olsa products for me! I spent a bunch of time looking for more online and went with the Ernst which are not nearly as nice but they are available.

My local HF had a space on the shelf for them, but no inventory.

Found a couple of wire dish racks at Dollar General. Need to modify them next.

Thanks for all the replies.

too bad, but you can't go wrong making your own. I have added a few homemade ones myself but tailored them for screwdriver sets, and vise grips etc.
