Allen wrench Stand/Holder

[Oka]

Had these in my drawer for about a year. Finally made a stand holder for them.
Mahogany/Santos I think, might be Redheart. Anyway, now I can use these with ease, going to make using these easier for sure.

Headed to Horrible Freight to get a couple sets of theirs. That way I distribute the ones tools need around the shop instead of what it seems like all the time I spend walking to the other side to find one and then finding I needed the 2.5, not 2. For instance, one size I need to change BS blades. Just got a JointMaster. It uses a couple for adjustments. Planer has one. Jointer another.

Wood block with a tapered hole is a LOT better than the steel stand the HF ones come with as they will just drop in and not have to align.

That bugs me too...

Which gives me an idea. Cut a piece of scrap to the dimensions of the channel in the holder, trace the locations of the holes, drill them out on the drill press, and install with double-sided tape.

Gonna try that.

I've had that Martin, for over 5-6 years, wouldn't be without it .You have to be meticulous about returning the wrench to the stand, or it is worthless. The "T" handle on the top gives you a lot of leverage.
