    In stainless steel such things sell to clean room operators for £35 ~ $45 EACH. When we expanded our clean rooms I started making hangers out of scrap 1/4" stainless tubing, good recycling and much less than half the price! Note it's a complete sealed clean design, and also impossible to steal without tools.

    mklotz, those on Amazon would not have the labor that the illustrated would.
    There is at least 4 or 5 hand welding spots.
