I like that idea bob, I'm forever tripping over the grinder

fasten a piece of steel mesh to your shed wall


thread a bit of shaped fencing wire through to make a hanger.




hang your tools on it.

Lista draws and cupboards of all shapes and sizes, 200kg per draw and you can still close them with one finger http://www.richardsonsuk.co.uk/lista-drawer-cabinets-200kg-drawer-load/c344

Come up s/h all the time for cheap, the amount of gear you can load into them is insane.

They make Snap-On prices look cheap! But can see they're top quality gear, unlike new Snap-On cabinets.

I suppose I had better throw this liddle invenshun into the mix. Its a mag mounted angle grinder rest that you can slap on anything reasonably flat, really useful working off a ladder or plant outside where you dont want to be tripping over the thing or rolling it in mud. Knocked one up and have played about with various magnets and designs , bolted two magnets back to back on the lower fixing for the peg spanner. Takes some tugging to get them unstuck so no chance of the grinder just falling, have ended up making them for everyone that sees it so thought I had better get a few laser cut and start knocking them out.

What magnets did you end up using eventually?

building on @Tangledfeet 's idea:

a twist of wire between each screwdriver holds then more securely.

Do I detect a BMC gold seal hiding under the bench?

I posted my one of my chop saw a while back recessed into the bench, it just made it easy to cut timber in long runs and the bench folds away if i need more space for a car

Exactly what I use

 

[Olderisbetter]

I have used unistrut type brackets and rail many times for jobs and i very often have lots left over, So i found it makes pretty sturdy shelving and if you use the cant arms it give continuous runs of shelving with no need for uprights at the front.

I will measure them and put up a link

Spotted this neat tape measure wall rack idea on the net a while ago and just put one over my welding bench , a machine hacksaw blade spaced off the wall with a couple of 10mm nuts. Nice and sturdy, may even give it a lick of paint.

Lista or polstore cabinets and cupboards are a great investment. Better to buy used.
