Improved Allen Wrench / Hex Key Holder

thingiverse

Allen Wrench Holder with Enhanced Features: This holder will not deteriorate, securely holds hex keys in place with an o-ring, and does not rely on tension from plastic. All Allen wrenches are easily accessible. It is 3D printable. The holder uses a standard o-ring available at most hardware stores. I created this design to address two main concerns I have with typical holders: Typical holders consist of a brick of plastic with holes that wear out or crack over time, causing the wrenches to fall out. Typical holders nest all Allen wrenches on top of each other, making the set lay flat but sacrificing quick access to smaller wrenches. I prefer all wrenches to be accessible without compromise. I was inspired by Tom Lipton's use of this style holder in his Ox Tools YouTube channel. His design uses an extension spring in a ring instead of an o-ring. Since that is custom, I chose an o-ring for my design. Post-Printing: Use an ANSI O-ring with size -223 or -222. Alternatively, use a Metric Equivalent: 3.5mm Width x 40mm Inner Diameter (the inner diameter can be slightly smaller without affecting the design).
