Hex Key holder ideas?

[Patrice Lemée]

I have many machines in my shop, some of them older and so it seems that I need about 2 dozen different size hex keys. I've tried a few ways of keeping them organized but it never worked out very well so I settled on this magnetic bar but it is far from perfect since there is no labeling and I always mix keys and end up trying 3-4 before finding the right one.



I know that in the grand scheme of things, this is just a small irritant but my OCD keeps reminding me that this is not acceptable.

Any of you guys have a better way to do this?

I don't like magnets bexasuse they collect all the chiips and dust.



If they are for your machines, you can buy the individuals you need and place them at the machine you will use them.

Angle iron, wooden blocks, whatever you like - make some holders with holes and attach them to the machine itself.
Not as much guessing


The pretty colours make picking the right one easy.

Yes. The one for the machine at the machine !!!! This over organization of the complete set never worked well for me unless the set was in a can or box in a cupboard someplace. Think about it. Not to complicated. Frank
