Dirt cheap way to store hand tools, bits and more

THE WINNER:

Steel Angle Tool Holder

Two lengths of slotted steel angle (available at many home center stores) make a versatile and efficient tool hanger. The angle I used has a combination of 3/s" holes, elongated holes and 2" slots. Placing the lengths one above the other provides stability to the tools, especially those with handles that make them top-heavy, such as screwdrivers and putty knives. Look for it in the sec tion of the store that carries metal strapping and threaded rod. Expect to pay about $5.50 for a 48" length.
