Best Way to Keep Wrenches

[Leo99]

I use a Sears plastic wrench rack. http://c.shld.net/rpx/i/s/i/spin/image/spin_prod_685858801

And a Lisle magnetic socket rack.

I hang them on my garage wall and carry them to the job when needed.

How sturdy are the Craftsman wrench racks? I have some of the metal ones from HF and the springs seem quite still in that I have to hold the rack with one hand and pull out the wrench with the other.

for my main combo wrenches I use the Ernst rails from Summit Racing.

My SK sets came with nice rails, deep off-sets stand on edge just fine.

Gearwrench Gearbox models come in a nice tray.

I haven't found any kind of organizer that works with my Facom socket wrenches or obstruction wrenches.

My EZ-Reds came with a nice foam organizer.

Sockets are a combo of Hansen and Ernst socket boss.

I have several sets of wrenches.
Some of them came with the rack.
Others, I bought the Craftsman rack at Sears.
The set that I keep in my shed, I got in my junk bin, found a big Carriage bolt and a wingnut and put the bolt through the closed end of the wrenches. Works fine.

This is how I keep my Wrench Drawer; they are set into foam rails that I got from Sears:

Obstruction Wrenches and oddballs are hung on pegboard over my workbench:

My snap on monger has these two plastic rails with double stick tape on the back side. There are wedges to hold the wrenches at a good angle. You cut them to length and set them at proper width. My infrequently used wrenches go there. In my cart I have a metal harbor rack, super useful to grab and go

My recent SK sets come on green Ernst Gripper wrench holders. I liked them so much I bought some red ones for my older wrenches.

The Grippers hold the wrenches tight enough I can grab them all with one hand and go; they are also flexible enough I can pull a single wrench out single-handed. Under a car I can try a wrench, and blindly find the set, find the open slot, and move up or down one or more slots to find the correct size wrench.
