A Solution for Organizing Air Tools and Hose


Air Tools Organization

Submitted By:  R-Dubb

The Solution!

“I was always losing my compressor attachments and could never find the end of the hose . . .

“One 4″x 3” piece of aluminum, a few holes and some leftover fittings and both problems solved!

“Thanks for such an informative trailer building site!  Getting ready to build a modified teardrop and the articles are helping a bunch!  Thanks.”

 


Such an easy fix.  Attach it to the air compressor, or to the wall near by.  The only thing is . . . you have to remember to put the tools back when you switch them out.  🙂

Speaking of Air Tools, here’s one more for your collection.  While it’s “just” an Air Chuck, it’s gotta be the most convenient air chuck I’ve used.  I personally think it’s a great Solution!  One more to add to the lost and found Solution! shown here from R-Dubb.
