As in something you screw to the wall and, erm, stick your spanners
to.

I can't immediately see them in the Machine Mart Catalogue.

Anyone know what I mean - or where I could get a couple?

The closest I've seen is a very expensive kitchen knife holder type
magnetic thing.

A nice alternative is the kids' magnetic toys (the small fluo coloured
plastic tubes with strong magnets at each point and metallic balls that
connect, something like a magnetic MECANO toy)

They are VERY strong and can surely hold a spanner each.

Take care
