Air tool Storage - Woodworking Talk

Allthumbs27 · 06-18-2009, 07:25 PM

For those of you guys who have a better idea on how to store air tools please let me hear it. This is what I thought would be the best way. Maybe I should have hung them upside down to prevent oil loss but I use them a lot and always oil them prior to and after use. A picture of your method would be great.They are held in by a 1/2 inch tap bolt that is 1.5 inches long. I used the cheap 5 pack of couplers from Harbor Freight. I used a piece of Birchwood ply I had left over and drilled some 1/2 inch holes into it.

I like the organization...Looks like you have quite a set there...all within reach. What`s the fourth and fifth from the left? Rick

Name em in order for ya from left to right. angle grinder, sander, impact screwdriver, air body saw, "jitterbug" sander (absolutely awesome- it doesnt vibrate your hand as it sands), air hammer, die grinder, 1/4 ratchet, 3/8 ratchet, 1/2 ratchet, air drill. I still have about 10 more air tools to put up but I ran out of couplers.

I hope one is a Dynabrade palm sander...I would love to have one but would have to up-grade my air compressor. Rick

All of mine have wip hoses and just drape them over a 1 x 2 screwed to two floor joists. I'm 6'2" and it's easy for me to reach. One could easily make a lower setup. This keeps oil in machine. Ya gotta love your organization and extra room.

Upgrade to my storage shelf. I still need to get a few more couplers but the store didnt have anymore in stock so I have to wait.Here is a pic of the beast that powers them up.
