Wrench Storage

Vulturej,

How deep is the Wrench Boss trays? I did not see that dimension on their website.

Vulturej,

The tray is 1 1/8" deep, the compartments for the wrenches are 1" deep.

I like that - certain sizes like 13mm I have a few extras - and since none of my wrenches match much nice way to keep them in a place..

Thanks to my Craftsman club membership, the other discounts offered, and some TopTul wrenches in transit somewhere, I need to create more space for wrenches. I have one of my double wide Lista drawers dedicated to wrenches. It is full and cramped, I used the Ernst holders, but with duplicates, ratcheting style, stubbies, flared nut wrenches, and long handle versions, the drawer is full. Do the WrenchBoss units hold long handle versions? Their website provides minimal information regarding the size and configuration, details would be appreciated, thanks.

It`s not homemade but i like it like that:

my wrench drawers are mess........

So are pops, I plan on leaving them that way as they are fractional and rarely used now.

Does anyone know of wrench organizers that will fit the 1-7/8" height drawers in a KRA box? I bought the 15 wrench organizers from Ernst but they're too tall. Even if I cut them down to about 12 wrenches they'll still be too tall.

Anyone have a 12-15 wrench holder in these narrow height drawers? Pictures would be nice if you have 'em. I'd rather not use the deeper drawers to hold relatively flat tools.

Nice job ZRX61... what brand are those? Also, do they have the magnetic or adhesive tape bottoms?

I'm bumping an old thread to get some fresh ideas. I'm about to tackle this debacle.

I have used the Craftsman Foam organizers for about 10 years. They have held up well.

Good luck, Dave

I saw a post the other day about wrapping wire around a rod to make wrench holders. I cant find the thread now. Anybody have a link to that one?

I've been using EZ Red magnetic wrench holders. Here's a couple of my drawers. I actually have a few more holders and a lot of wrenches that need to be organized. Just need more tool box space now.

I like the Snap-on wrench racks:

I see most keep the wrenches in line by type/ size.what do you do with duplicates? I usually keep them in line for easy grabbing.It looks funny but it makes them easier to find bob w.

This is the wrench storage in my tool cart. I wanted to have more wrenches on hand in the least amount of space and this is what made me sparkle.

 

[RBailey]

This is one I knocked up

I use if for my flare nut wrenches in the corner of my draw, they are not common use so was after a compact solution.
A piece of 40mm flat aluminium bent and then a strip of rubber glued in.

 

[VegasBruce]

I just lay them in the drawers, its been working over 30 years now.

And the metric.

How about vehicle storage.

 

[badknot]

66 wrenches (not counting what's in the bins...or the bone) with room for more in a 22" x 28" drawer. I got sick of fighting for space using bulky store bought organizers...so I made my own.

Welcome, badknot.
Now tell us how you made those holders. They look interesting.

 

[zuspiel]

Nice job, badknot!

 

[Maexle]

i like it laid out, (got enough space in my drawers)

 

[Maexle]

I have the cheapest method


i love it, if i would look into vertical storage, this would be my favorite....

good luck, dave

lots of wasted space!

I use Ernst gripper racks for all my wrenches. Save a lot of space. Plus I can just grab a set and go with them. They're durable and have a lifetime warranty. Plus I like that they're available is some many different sizes. I can have my ratcheting wrenches on one, flare nut wrenches on one, combination wrenches on one, and stubby wrenches on another one. All to fit the number of wrenches in the set. That way I'm not stuck with wasted spots not being used.

For guys looking for a set of rails for a shallower drawer Ernst also makes a low profile set of rails. I think they're supposed to be able to fit in a drawer just under 2" deep.
