t-handle organization?

[lethallyinjected]

How are you guys storing your t-handles?

 

[ToolGlutton]

For easy storage, I do not buy T-handles. One T-handle ratcheting driver, coupled to your regular sockets will do that job. Plus, they are ratcheting T-handles.

How are you guys storing your t-handles?

 

[Coach James]

If you mean sliding t bars, I keep them in the same drawer as my extensions. If you mean t handled Allen wrenches, I have them in interwoven rows in one of the drawers in a top box.

Cheap-o Craftsman T-handles allens---lay flat in a toolbox drawer.

Nice Bondhus metric T-handles---no place yet! I'd like to keep them in the stand that they come with but none of my drawers are deep enough to keep them.

I'd like to see some suggestions/pics.

We bought a number of drywall mud holders. These have made great places for those types of tools that are hard to put places. We use them for pliers, visegrips, files, the t-handle allens.

We have one for pliers, one for visegrips, screwdrives. You have to dig through them but work better than anything else we have used yet and save space.

I use the stands that my Bondhus sets came with, and my SO sets are in the trays they came in or the vinyl pouch thay came with.
In a flat drawer you can use the CM wrench foam rails to keep them from moving around.

That's how mine are.

Thanks guys, I have some of that cman foam stuff somehwere. I was thinking I'd just end up finding the plastic organizer tray things for them but I might give that a try.

I drilled holes in a piece of aluminum angle stock to fit the t-handle hex wrenches and attached the holder to my tool chest.

 

[Chris Adams]

I keep my TopTul in the same drawer as my nut drivers. On the T-handles I push the handle to one side, making them l-shaped, then you can lay them together and they don't take up as much room.

 

[Stuey]

I keep my Bondhus in the stand-up organizer they came in, and misc others flat in a 69 arrangement in the chest.

The only T-handle hex wrenches that I own are on the right hand side of the shelf above my Clausing Colchester Lathe. They came with the aluminum stand when I purchased them from an auction years ago. They come in handy when working on that lathe or the two surface grinder across the isle...

I wanted to store my T-handle Ball end drivers on a magnetic rail, but most of the magnetic tool holders sold on amazon seem to be made to be screwed into a wall, not magnetically attached to the inside of your toolbox. Is anyone using such a holder with a magnetic backing?

Here is how I'm currently storing mine. I made a couple of wooden holders for my t-handle hex drivers and my t-Handle nut drivers. This will do for now. My ultimate goal is to have a work bench with pegboard over it and I will hang some items (such as these) up there...

How about a Magna Rail or a Magna Stick? A Magna Panel would work too

 

[Bo Heck]

That magna panel is what looks the best, although I wish it wasn't so expensive.

There are a ton of these strips at half the price everywhere, but I don't think the backs are magnetic. They are screw mounted, which is not gonna happen inside my toolbox.

 

[sscustom]

i just used the rack it came with lol but you could always fab one yourself out of wood or metal

 

[reptilezs]

screw some pvc to the side of the bench and drop em in

 

[Sterff]

Like this... Kind of wastes a drawer.

 

[whelenfan]

screw some pvc to the side of the bench and drop em in

I like the pvc idea, I might have to do that when I get some t-handle hex wrenches later today.

 

[Bo Heck]

I rent my house, I'm in college with 3 roommates that I trust but I'm in a college neighborhood. Everything must be inside my toolbox. The T handles did not come with trays or racks, and no room for that in the box anyway.
