Tin snip storage

[JackOfDiamonds]

I like to hang things on the wall. I'm not really a toolbox person.

I haven't found a way to hang up my tin snips. I have a set of three. I need some kind of holster or something. Anyone have a suggestion?

You know, I've never really thought about wall storage on my tin snips. I've got a set just hanging on nails, and my nice snips are in a steel tote box. Perhaps a strong magnetic strip?

I find Pegboard best for wall mounting tools, lots of holder options, maybe something like this for pliers:

I agree with the pegboard ... show pictures when you are done.

For "regular" tin snips peg board hooks, one for each handle, work great. Aviation shears is where things get difficult. The clips suggested above might work well on straight aviation shears but I don't think they would work on the left and right of offset aviation shears. With respect to aviation shears Midwest Snips and Malco are the answer. Wiss ****.

Lenox makes some nice items, too.

I think you could bend them to fit. You could even make custom holders out of a coat hanger if necessary

I try to never hang anything. I have a dedicated drawer for all of my dozens of tin snips.
The picture shows a sample of the many.
The cabinet is a retired Simplicity Pattern metal cabinet. The drawers are about 30 inches front to back and 10 inches deep. The width can be 30" 0r 36"
