I inherited my dad's tools, who was a mechanic his whole life, after he passed away from covid last November. My tools, including wrenches have always been meticulously organized. His, not so much. Some are, but most aren't. I have literal piles of wrenches in drawers. I was looking for a good diy option (especially since my channel is a diy channel). This actually looks good AND easy! If I do it and create a video, I will be sure to cite my source!
@user-ov9zy7pu4s appreciate it. It's been 2 1/2 years and it hasn't gotten any easier. I get emotional every time I go to his toolbox. But I did try this organizer technique and I'm happy with the way it turned out. I did my own video on it. Made sure I sighted my source, that I got the idea from here.
I am really sorry to hear, sounds like he was really special for you, which is just the way a father/son relationship should be. I’m glad you guys were close. I’m not sure if this will be helpful, for me, I’ve found that grieving is easier if I honor them in various ways that mean something to me. So far for me: dedicated tattoo, small memorial in a wilderness spot only I know about, speaking at funeral, speaking about lost person with others to remember and share the great person they were, write a letter to the person and read it aloud alone or with someone you trust closely. I hope this helps ease some pain.
A tapered turkey baster tube is a pretty good cone for wrapping wire. 👌🏻 Been using this method for about a year and it was just gonna be until I could afford nice ones but I can’t bring myself to spend money on a problem that’s solved. Of course with wire prices this might be more expensive than olsa tools 🤣
Thank you so much!! ..... I was about to dish out over $100 on the toolbox widget wrench organizers...... One trip to HD and $15 later and I have an extra drawer and money in my wallet. Thanks again!!!👍
Came across this video a few weeks ago. I used a single coil for both my Gearwrench sets, and I'm sold! Now I'll be putting my main wrench sets into their own coils. Big time space saver for my work box
These are great. I made a few a couple years ago and love them. I just picked up a few new sets of wrenches and am planning on making a few more if I don't find anything I like more. I used a large tapered punch to coil mine last time. A spud wrench or alignment pry bar would work nicely as well.
Very nice. I'm going to try it with 1/4 inch copper tube for my bigger wrenches to 2 inch and then screw it to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood I'm already using. With the wire on smaller wrenches I'll have to figure out some way to attach it. I've seen the idea before but you showed it in a way that makes it a reasonable alternative 👍
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow you should. I encourage anyone even slightly interested to get one. They’re pretty cheap and a great learning experience. I’m learning 3d modeling software from TH-cam tutorials.
Yeah you could probably do it for pliers especially if you used the 10 gauge wire. But they already sell pretty good plier racks for cheap. I have a set in both of my toolboxes. I did a video on them a while back. In my top 5 tool cart modifications video I think
nice tip , i got one just as good IMO , find the wire spring they use that shields hydraulic hoses on heavy equip. cut it to fit in the drawers, then pop your wrenches in every other coil. * raised panel wrenches don't work that well* id upload a pic but i got not clue how to do that.........
First time watcher of ur vids and click n subscribe as of this video! You have a great attitude and you are smart for sure! Thanks for the great videos! I sure wish I would have thought of that! 🤯 Great IDEA!! ROCK ON BRO!
thaaaat looks really slick. First time i've seen it and your good one really does look good. Could even solder a piece in between if you're using the double row.
If you want to carry them safely or maybe traveling shakes them out; just make the loop tall enough over the wrenches to slide another wire through all the loops and it will secure them when needed.
what happens if you just make much longer coil, and then unwind a few wraps in the center to get your double out of a single piece? wont have a taper but that doesnt seem necessary
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. There are probably a bunch of good cone items to use and that sounds like a good one. Are they cheap? I used this as an excuse to play with the lathe little bit. :)

That's what the one guy at my shop does. I was actually going to make a comparison video to Show how much time is wasted over a 10 year span.lol. It took him about 6 seconds to find is 21 mm wrench when I asked him. Times that by Lord knows how many times lol.

@@HawtSawz86 one of the things I've done is the closeout screen in my videos.
I made room for probably 2-3 more wrench sets in my wrench drawer with this, took it from an organized mess to looking awesome thanks
Yea buddy! Good stuff and thank you for commenting.

Actually amazing how simple and effective it is. Good job thinking outside the box
Some shrink wrap to close the ends would be slick. thanks for this
I am an electrician and have never seen anyone do this …..great idea I am going to use 10 awg
Thank you soo much that rack with the brake line conector looks super nice! It's finally time for my to oraganize my wrenches

Well that's a pretty slick idea! Definitely clears up the clutter.
Great channel, high energy compared to so many others making content! Great tip for maximizing storage.

Sweet, sounds like a good plan!
I did the same thing to my buddies box but I used a flimsy clothes hanger that bends easy not the stiffer metal hangers. Works awesome
sweet!
This is really a great idea!! Thanks for making a video and sharing!!

Ok I’m in. I now know why I’ve been putting my clean up off 😂 thanks
Great idea! Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks Man
Love it. As always, great videos.
That’s really cool. I modeled and 3D printed some toolbox widget style holders for my work box but I might use this for my home box.
That's awesome.
I hope to one day get a 3D printer. They seem pretty cool

Great idea. Saved me lots of space in my toolbox
You nailed this! Great value and creativity! Thanks!
Yeah definitely the way to go for rent stories! Still works great and hasn't given me a problem. Thanks
Definitely gonna try it. Wonder if it can be done in a similar way for pliers?

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Thx! I'll check it out. I'm outfitting and organizing a Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series as a mobile boat restoration vehicle.
Genius👍🏻
DUDE!!! That is AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the tip...i reused romex layin in my basement..now my home box has 2 empty drawers
Awesome man! Good to hear and thanks for commenting!

Nice, that's a great idea! Especially if you can get them for free. Yeah it's annoying that you can't upload pictures in the comments on youtube
Smart, simple and effective!

Thanks man I really appreciate the sub!

Thanks man! And good idea on using solder!
5:10 A nice rack is always great. Excellent tips for my project this weekend.
Such a good idea. It's amazing how much space having all the wrenches vertical saves.
Awesome, considering that my chest is one of the smaller ones...... on my way to the garage now...lol Thanks
Good luck on it! Definitely a simple way to save some space
If you want to carry them safely or maybe traveling shakes them out; just make the loop tall enough over the wrenches to slide another wire through all the loops and it will secure them when needed.
genius idea! thanks man
I have a stubby tool too. Never thought about strangling it with wire.
Awesome tip!
I like that idea
Great job!
Well done sir!
Brilliant.
Genuis, thank you
great how-to! thanks!
No problem. Thank you
Hell ya. Just what I needed
That's a great idea.
Excellant Excellant idea! I will definately use this. I love cheap.
Now, did you make anything for plier organization?
Nice idea (UK)
Maybe a transmission funnel could work for the cone.
Yeah that might work
Good idea
what happens if you just make much longer coil, and then unwind a few wraps in the center to get your double out of a single piece? wont have a taper but that doesnt seem necessary
Genius
LOVE IT!! DID YOU TACK WELD OR SOLDER IT TO THE BRAKE LINE SUPPORT? OR JUST TWISTED IT TOGETHER SOME HOW?.. JUST CURIOUS, AWESOME STUFF!
I used a pair of wire crimpers and crimped the connection
Cool vid. Brb. I gotta run N get me a wood lathe ;-)~
Awesome idea.
If you don't have access to a lathe you can buy a waffle cone mold. Wich is cone shaped .
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. There are probably a bunch of good cone items to use and that sounds like a good one. Are they cheap? I used this as an excuse to play with the lathe little bit. :)

sick!
bummer that im missing a lathe in my garage... so many tools but just my luck..
I'm sorry but how do you connect the brake line?
Could probably leave the wire long enough so it can wrap around the wrenches to secure it so you be mobile with it and it not flying out of the slots
Yea thats a good idea
Must be from pa.
I like to just throw all the wrenches in the drawer. Takes a long time to find the right wrench, but who cares when its customer paying straight time.
That's what the one guy at my shop does. I was actually going to make a comparison video to Show how much time is wasted over a 10 year span.lol. It took him about 6 seconds to find is 21 mm wrench when I asked him. Times that by Lord knows how many times lol.
