Is there a specific rack type thing for them given the bigger diameter?

Can't abide those racks. I drill appropriate seized holes in the shelf by my bench.

In my toolbox they are on Terry clips, works well, they don’t fall off and easy to grab

I just keep them in the folding storage thing they came in. Easier to pack to go away with

@trail_rat but they aren't good for keeping off the bench top, like a clean bench.

Two clips on the bigger ones, singles on the little ones.

I can't even post a photo and you want to buy stuff from me!....

I did them at a previous job where we had a printer. I have the STL file somewhere if you're interested.

I increased the hole size in a spare allen key rack.

You can make a simple cheap bracket from a bit of wood and a set of drill bits

Looks like a load of wasted space to me. I just throw them in the draw and then huff when I can't find the right one. Fit shit loads in there though....

The top layer and lid is all the most commonly used stuff, next level down is dividers, so more space efficient and can fit a lot more. Chucked a load of stuff out that I didn’t use or wasn’t needed to maintain my bikes. Can’t stand losing tools or not knowing where they are, it’s mild ocd! The work toolbox got out of hand…

I'm jealous really. I don't have the discipline to keep my tool chest tidy!!

The Wera storage clips seem designed to cause frustration, they're so tight!

Definitely time to invest in a quality ten minutes with some drill bits and a piece of wood.

I use an Ikea kitchen knife magnet mounted on the toolboard.
