    Combinati0on wrench rack

    I have a huge combination wrench rack in the other side of the shop ranging from 1/4" through 2 1/2" with 6mm through 30 mm Some of the sizes have as many as 5 of wrenches handing there.
    The problem is I'm always needing wrenches in the machine shop van so they either cluttered up a drawer or were scattered around on the machines or the work benches I decided it was high time to end that problem. And what better place to locate them than right above the R8 rack

    I did a similar thing but due to my fumbling fingers, tend to miss the peg. The wrench would fall behind the dresser below it. I added a length of steel stud to catch the fleeing tool.

    When I say the other side of the shop that translates to walking at least 130 feet, 10 feet to the door of the machine shop van, 90 feet to get to the door cut in the side of a shipping container and 30 feet through it to where the rack is located then the return trip, do this several times a day and you will start to leave wrenches laying all over the place. Soon I will be adding more wrench racks in strategic locations.
    A lot of wrenches have been added since this rack was built
