Only one thing is annoying: The holder holds quite firmly onto the screwdriver (which normally is good of course!). So it might happen you lift everything up instead of taking out the screwdriver.
I always thought about adding some weight (piece of brass or whatever) to them, but never came to do it.

Or use this underneath:
Paste Hama 00007091 or Walimex 17368. Conrad has it. You my even find it in some supermarkets in the photography section.
It is kneadable, reusable, removable without residues. Photographers use it to hold small items in place. I use it all the time to prevent lightweight objects like scopes from being pushed back or to attach small temperature sensors to a wall, for example. The missus uses it instead of wax to attach candles. Because it does not solidify, it is easily possible to set up the candles strait even after some time.

Ah, it looked like yours was double row, but maybe you just have two?

I can get this from Amazon, and probably will after Christmas. I don't much like the green color, and it's a bit cheap looking also, but it'll probably be okay.

Would a 3D printed version of this work for you or are you after the OEM rack?

This is how I store them now, which is not that bad really.



I think the green Wiha rack from Amazon will be fine. If it won't stay down when a driver is removed, I'll attach it to the pegboard or something. I might just do that anyway because I have this thing about not storing items on the table top.

In my old lab, I had it also mounted on the wall.
Since the wall behind my desk now is just a dry-wall, I did not want to mount anything there. Therefore they are on the desk.

I am going to mod and print a few of these:

In reference to moving screwdriver holders above. Got mine sorted a while back with a quick design & 3D print which also keeps my precious Lindstroms from getting abused or dropped on the floor too. ** Not shown is the grotty bench full of crud under it  :-[

Outmatched? I'm fairly sure the vast majority of the forum can only dream of your kit.

Finally some updates on my workbench this weekend! :)

I added a top shelf at the back and also a bridge with slide rail in front to hang my Delvos.
Please excuse the craptacular photo "quality"!

Looking forward to getting my new Quick 861DE in the next week or so.

ToDo:
 - parts storage, especially SMD
 - add another fume extraction unit for SMD soldering - currently using fume extraction at the tip (Ersa ET7-1IP, actually an Ersa labled Bofa T1-1IP)

Are they older model hios torque drivers hanging off the spring balances? I can’t quite make out the power supply unit.

Did you buy or build the plier / scredwider holder (wooden one, not the wera precision one)

The torque drivers are DLV 7540-MKE with DLC 4510-JE supply and DLV 7331-CKG with DLC 1213-GG supply. Both with the 1/4'' hex bit receptacle instead of those 4 mm half-round / shank ones, because I already have a gazillion fitting bits. :) Bought both of these used on eBay a while ago, for 80 € and 55 € delivered. They seem well used and needed some cleaning, but other than that they work like a charm. No worn out bushings or bearings.
At around the same time I could score a lot of five NOS Hahn & Kolb Autostat 7212-01 balancers - basically for the price of one.

The tool holder for the pliers and screw drivers is made from routed plywood parts (6mm). They are around 10 € from some model making shop, but if you happen to have a CNC router or want to DIY cut some by hand with a scroll saw, just drop me a PM and I will send you a DXF.

Finally got around to tidying the lab to the point where it's not too embarrassing to take photos... Main workshop is still off-limits (project for spring!), but I did include a snap of the corner where I do smaller physical work and soldering.

I was thinking the same thing.  Most Brits have to live in a space smaller than that  ;)
