I'm finally getting my pliers organized. I didn't care for the many designs I found online - so after some thought here's what I came up with.

    Your pliers storage is one of the best I've seen, but IMHO, it could have been better. The horrible color: You could have used very little spray paint. The pvc glue: I personally would go without any glue (or purple primer), and just add a 2nd row of holes and screws. Either screw those tube tight to one and other, or add 1/4" - 1/2" spacing between them, for breathing room/ease of access/return. I do salute the simplicity of your process, using stuff mostly already around.

    Glad to see you got a grip on your plier storage situation. I like your painting solution! It's comforting to get organized.

    It can be difficult to design compact but still easily accessible storage for pliers but your idea works well. I might need to re-evaluate my pliers storage after this ☺

    I really like your idea, it have some clear advantages and maybe a few disadvantages. I.e. you have a good spacing between the pliers so they are easy to grip but the rack will also be a lot larger then if you had the pliers tight together. :-)

    great invention. but in my opinion you could have just hit it with any one of the large number of stray Krylon spray paint cans that you probably have laying around, and had a first class looking rig.

    Thomas A. Cross they are roughly 5” for the 3/4” and 6” for the 1”...seems to be ok for nearly all tools. Measure your pliers to be sure that will be long enough for your longest handle....good luck!

    Jimmie Porter At Stuart Arts Thanks so much. It’s so frustrating when so many post videos and won’t reveal simple dimensions that can save us a lot of time in duplicating the design. You are the best.

    You have to be careful. Lowe's and home Depot sell clear pvc cleaner and it's not primer. You might have to go to your local plumbing supply house to get the primer. The St Louis County plumbing code allows ONLY purple primer but the St Louis City code FORBIDS it, so suppliers here carry both. County inspectors are too lazy to get up close enough to make sure that primer was used so we have to use the purple. I think they can see it from the saloon!

    How is this pliers rack holding after a couple of months? Also, if the PVC tubes go all the way to the bottom, do they get filled with crap?
