Can someone help with an item to keep my upright tool chest tidy? I'm
looking for something that will store my spanners in one of the drawers,
something like a rack. I remember a mate saying he has some that are simply
bits of plastic racking shaped to take spanners with self adhesive pads on
the bottom that he sticks to the floor of one of the drawers. I've been
googling but can't seem to find such an item. Any links or advice please
Thanks

Graeme

Not what you're looking for, but I use the Axminster magnetic tool
rail for lots of different applications.

usually supplied with spanner sets the front is removable ( not shown in the
image) so they can be wall hung or as your mate has put in the cabinet
http://www.tooled-up.com/Artwork/ProdZoom/64605.jpg so far as getting one
separately the nearest I have seen was supplied with a Clarke wall board
they aren't what you would call special and really you would be better
cutting slots in angle aluminuim or plastic and popping or glueing them onto
your cabinet.What I would like to find is a socket tray much handier than
bars IMO

BTW, 10/10 to Axminster:

I bought their heavy duty impact gun a bit back, and after not much use it
decided to pack in. phoned Axminster, talked to a bod, admitted to having
taken it apart to see if it was an easy fix (such as a blown O-ring) and he
arranged for a new one to be delivered next day, and would I mind boxing up
the old kit (swapped the complete kit) and putting their address on the box
for the courier to pick it up?

no charge, not even for carriage.

top service, well recommended.
