Best way to hang grinders?

[Curiousgeorge]

Evening chaps.

I’ve been doing a spot of housekeeping in the factory and instead of the grinders being laid out on a shelf, I was thinking that hanging them on a shadow board or similar would be better / quicker to grasp.
However, I can’t really find a way to hang them with strategically placed nails or screws.
Any ideas, folks?

Make up a vee it will hook under the guard

There are quite a few images around, Cup shaped brackets that support the grinders behind the guard while hanging vertically,

I use tool hooks, perfect for the job

You don't even need the nice cutouts, a plain piece of angle or flat works just as well.

I thought I'd come up with a good solution by using eye bolts in the spare handle bushing on the grinder and hanging off hooks screwed into the rafter above the metalwork end of the workshop but do sometimes find that the eye bolt gets in the way...

Guard fits the 'hooks' end fine.

These have been brilliant replies. Once again, forums amaze me with their tremendous help.
Thank you, all!!

I use the hollow handle and hang them on a bit of round bar.

Good idea; think I might have some of these I can use :-)

I had to mess about quite a lot with offsets and widths when I made my mag mount grinder holder gadget, small differences in the guarding and geardrives make it hard to make a universal holder.

No good for the Americans then.

On the subject of grinders....been using this quick release nut on mine for a few months now and have to say I really like it...works on cutting disks and grinding disks no bother. I have my release tool zip tied to the power cord so it was never a hassle finding it, but changing is a doddle now.

Use longer eye bolts made so that they hold the handle you use on the grinder. May need to modify handle for this.

I use a couple of bits of dexion bolted together to form a channel screwed to the shed wall. Fits all the guarded 4.5” grinders apart from the DeWalt and the Aldi one with the cup brush.
