Sometimes a good idea is only a suggestion away.

I have your typical set of metric and english combination box/open-end
wrench sets in various drawers in my toolbox.

But they're all jumbled about such that it takes longer than I'd like to
grab a certain size or a sequence of certain sizes.

How do you store your combination wrenches so that they are easy to access?
Wrench rack. An inexpensive sheet metal gizmo. Do a google image search
and you'll see many examples on the first page of hits. Lots of
manufacturers and distributors.

Ah. I see many of these $20 wrench wracks.

They seem to hold wrenches on the wall, and not in a drawer.

They also seem mightly short, only holding from 7 to 15 wrenches.

If I can find one that is longer (holds about 25 wrenches and fits in a
standard garage toolbox cabinet drawer), that would be perfect so I'll keep
looking under "wrench wrack".

I was hoping for a home-spun solution though, as I can't imagine all my
wrenches, bought over a long period of time, fitting quite so nicely in
those wracks in a drawer.


Make your own. I made up one out of light plywood. I used a scroll saw
to cut a sawtooth profile than laid the pieces down with some glue and
small nails.

Used a wood burner to mark each wing with the size.
