Technical Anyone have a good solution for storing C-clamps and bar clamps?

Nah! I'm so hard headed it wouldn't even get my attention... what were we talking about?

 

I wonder how much it raises the price of a toggle clamp when you add "aircraft"?

 

Anytime you add the word “aircraft” it triples the price.

Ever notice anything made from aluminum is aircraft grade?

 

I used some "Rockler" brand racks for my bar clamps and pipe clamps, and peg board hooks for c clamps, and some other laser cut inexpensive racks I found on marketplace for my vicegrip style clamps.

 

And a 2x4 screwed to the wall with 45'ed corners for the rest of the misc. to clamp to....

 

Yep, That’s how I do mine. Piece of 2”angle iron from leg to leg they hang on.

 

Figured I should at least close out this thread. This is what I ended up building out of some scraps.


it is screwed to the floor joists on my upstairs loft.

 

There's probably way more good ways to store clamps than what I did, but it was easier to use what I had.
There's a water pipe that runs horizontally down one wall of my shop and I just hang all my various larger clamps off that pipe. Small clamps just go in a drawer of one of my roll around chests.

 

I don't use my C-clamps that much, built a rack to hold them and stashed it next to my tool box. Kinda out of the way; but still handy.


I use my vice grip clamps all the time; I only have 30 some, so they don't take up much room hung on the wall behind my bench.



Regular vise grips are another deal all together, I think they multiply when the drawer is shut.

 

Nice stash Rich. Vise grips are the one thing I buy for sure at swap meets if they are cheap and real Vise Grip brand. I do however have this one gigantic Buffalo brand thing that actually works. I got from a friends estate as a reminder of my old friend, but it gets used on those "special" jobs.

 

Most of mine are either in the floor or clamped to a car.
A couple are battery clamps

 

At the end of the workbench. Some are AWOL.

 

secure a length of 1" pipe across the ceiling-were you won't walk into-and hang them - I have several- one is 8 ft long. good for other things- calking guns, pipe wrenches etc.

 

Dang Rich, you may be onto something there......that's a buttload of vice grips.

 

A little late to the party, but here's my battle wagon.....
