Wrench Hanger

thingiverse

I purchased the 'HORUSDY 6PC ABS Socket Organizer, 1/4-Inch x 32 Clips, 3/8-Inch x 30 Clips, 1/2-Inch x 24 Clips, Premium Quality Socket Holders' from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DRZCCJQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) to organize my sockets. I had some rails left over and was looking around for something to organize a mix of wrenches that I have from various sources and collections. Nothing really worked in my shop. I made these little hangers. They fit onto the rail system. They rotate, so the orientation of the socket and the number of points on the socket doesn't matter. I've posted several 3mf files that worked for my first set of metric craftsman wrenches. There's an additional 10mm in the picture from a no-name brand. I also made a 1/4 inch wrench hanger to verify it works fine for SAE sizes. I posted the F360 file, the design is completely parameterized. You only need the wrench size, the thickness of the wall, and the height/width of the sockets. This defaults to 12.5 degrees of bend in the socket, but that is also variable. There is a print-in-place axle. I put the holder in a vice and gently move the socket back and forth until I break it free. That lets you rotate the wrench out. I'd like to have it print the size on the holder and I've thought about rounding off the backplate.
