Really he has.

Really he has.

Kinda missed the point. Canada is a different proposition to being across the pond.

A few years back, I actually made one from unequal angle iron at work. Drilled the holes to the sizes needed, cut the ends to include fold down fillets and brazed them. Only took about an hour and a half or so. Lasted until I left that job and sold the holder to one of my old colleagues. Probably still as good as the day it was made if it is still about.

Holes for the Standard (flat blade) screwdrivers had the shaft diameter hole, plus smaller holes drilled either side, then the wall between the filed out to allow the blade to pass through.

Which reminds me........... I need some unequal angle for a reprise of that idea for my Tailstock tooling, plus a drill press. Time to go window shopping until payday!

I couldn't understand your explanation of the design of your tool holder. I think there are some misspellings at important places.
Which "ends"? What are "fold down fillets". Folded where? Brazed to what?
"holes drilled either side, then the wall between the filed out" . . . What ??? . . . Oh! Do you mean a slot to pass the slot driver end of the blade? With the slot bisected by hole to pass the screwdriver shank? So you had to orient the screwdriver tip to the slot to install or remove the tool?

Regardless, I'd love to see a picture (worth 1000 words) of the reprise, if it materializes.

unfortunately when you are on the cell phone you don't see where people are from.

Well, thats at least an honest explanation LOL

Been there, done that, only once. Decided to stick to the laptop since then.

I'll get a basic sketch sorted and post it in a minute....

*** EDIT TO ADD ROUGH SKETCH ***

Here you go, something similar to this quick sketch. The one I made was quite different in that it held 24 various screwdrivers.

I'll search for an alternative solution and return this if I find one. The problem with most of the wall mount tool holders like this, is that they can't accommodate screwdrivers with large diameter shafts.

On the second thought, there is always the option to 3D print a custom one. I'll look into that too.

I have a couple of these:


Yes, I know it says “Wrench Organizer,” but works great for screwdrivers with 1/8” to 3/8” shafts and is rugged.

I saw that same type posted by a H-M member. IIRC, he attached it to magnetic strip.
Was that you?

I have a few things coming from Matt's tool emporium.

Do you think this would accommodate screwdrivers with a 1/2” shaft?
