Air tool storage ideas?
Hi folks, I did a quick search and didn't find much. I'm curious if any of you have good ideas for air tool storage with easy access. My tools are a bit bulky but I'd like to have a better setup. I was thinking maybe something on drawer slides so they are out of the way and kept somewhat clean. Maybe a special drawer. Another thought was a shelf with holes to stick the air nipple into. Tools I'm talking about are ratchet, impact gun, chisel, cutter, 3" cutoff and misc small pieces. My nailers are boxed which I like that way. Thanks for you thoughts and pics are always good

I keep mine in the bottom drawer of my roll-away tool box.

Re: Air tool storage ideas?
I saw that one and may go that route, this site shows how to make it: Miller - Projects - Air Tool Rack
I also found this one, looks pretty simple but would be harder to move if I wanted to change something. Air tool storage
My only gripe is that it takes 2 hands to remove or put away.

Re: Air tool storage ideas?
I store them in the rollaway. I would find the two-hand thing frustrating.

Re: Air tool storage ideas?
i wrap my larger ones in a plastic thick mill garbage bag, and put smaller tools into large ziplocks to keep the air chucks clean.

Re: Air tool storage ideas?
it could I guess.. but in my shop I also do wood working and some metal working so I'm more concerned about metal chips or wood dust that settles around.
I try to oil my air tools regularly and just hope the moisture don't get them. but you do bring up a good point.
past of throwing a baggie of dessicant or cat litter in there.. i'm not sure what you could do about it.
