Allen (Hex) Wrench Organizers?
« Back to Previous Page▲ ▼ |
I've got a set of allen wrenches that came in pouches (standard and metric). Has anyone found a decent organizer for allen wrenches? |

These holders come highly recommended based on their Amazon reviews, assuming you only have 10- and 13-piece sets. The price is hard to beat. |

For me, the plastic organizers are a bit too slow and fiddly. I inevitably pick at least 2 wrenches of the wrong size before I pick the correct one. If I need a 5mm wrench I’ll definitely incorrectly pick the 6mm and 4mm wrenches first. This makes tugging the wrenches out of the plastic sleeve a bother that I experience about 3 times every time I need an allen wrench. This annoyance also means I rarely put my allen wrenches back in the holder quickly. They end up laying around for a few days longer than they should. So I got a small 10” magnetic bar like this one on Amazon to hold my allen wrenches. This means I have to do my own organizing of them by size but, for me, it’s worth the trade. The 10” size also means I can put them in a small tool box or lay the bar somewhere close by. I don’t own this set of three magnetic tool holders but I particularly like the 8” sized holder and the hook hole on the top which would be nice for hanging on a pegboard. |
