spanner holders dont to spend much

[angellonewolf]

as above im wanting spanner holders but on the cheap

looking on line there seam to be meny projects made out of wood this i think will make marks on the spanner so not convinced on this idea and some foam stuff that takes ages to make

any body got an idea on what they use bought cheap made ?

A drawer

Couple of pins on a board for each spanner does the job.

 

[angellonewolf]

would that not damage the finsh of the spanner ?

 

[TechnicAl]

a piece of mild steel with a big magnet attached

 

[angellonewolf]

nice idea but i like the more up right saves space

If the wood is marking or damaging spanner’s, probably need to look at new spanners

It's a spanner you use it to attack bits of metal

Where are you planning on putting them. On the mantle piece.

Plastic spanner rack.

They stick to your drawer bottom.

Dont show em a nut whatever you do then...
Hardly a fair comparison. Cars arent supposed to be driven in hedges but spanners will be bashed and scratched and covered in grease and oil.

 

[angellonewolf]

i like the stand uo ones but does this inpeed on seeing the spanner size

anybody have any ideas on this ?

sloping better or up right i dont use them every day but can look at a nut and guess the size 60 percent of the time the other 40 its up or down one size

 

[brightspark]

I dunno the size of nuts or bolts but guess within 95 percent of time just looking metric or imperial

its not a good post i done there it late an night off with a few beers

i use my spanners the way any spanner is used put on the ground when working on the drive coved in oil when doing the oil change on the car even taped a few bits with them

a few marks is ok when its in use

I never place my tools on the ground or directly onto concrete. Never. I always use a tray or a scrap of wood or even a bit of cardboard. Dirt contains grit which could be anything from silica to carbides. Hard scratchy stuff that you won't pick up anywhere else other than by placing them on the ground. Never mind what it might do to the spanner (though as it happens I do mind), I wouldn't want to transfer it to an engine...
