It has become popular to cut up dish drying racks for use as pliers organizers. But for those of you looking for a simpler ready-to-use solution, consider the Torin magnetic pliers holder.
The pliers and tool organizer is made from plastic that is embedded with high-powered magnets. A magnetic backing means the holder can be secured to steel surfaces and toolboxes.

There are 10 divided compartments that can holder pliers, adjustable wrenches, wrenches, socket extensions, and other such tools.
Pricing ranges from $16 to $35, with Amazon having the best price right now.

Sometimes the simplest accessories are the handiest. Do you know of a better way to organize and store pliers and other such tools?

Any comparisons to the Plyworx or Lisle ones? I have all three in my Amazon cart, still haven’t decided which will work best.
Stuart
The Lisle one is larger and has smaller dividers, and is non-magnetic. I’m not sure which would be better between the Torin or Lisle – it looks like both are better suited for different situations.
The Plyworx one has wire-thin dividers, so it allows for higher storage density, but I’ve never found it appealing. It’s more easily modified, which is a plus.
For my own use, I would look towards the Torin or Lisle, but because they fit my particular needs a bit better.
You could always buy all three and return the two you don’t like. Or narrow it down to two and give them a try. If you don’t like then, they can probably be repurposed with ease.

Cool, thanks for your input. I think I’m leaning that way now too. Now that I think about it, maybe even an extra for my mess in my drawer of extensions and ratchets…
Stuart
Glad to help! I don’t know how well these might fit ratchets, so you might want to start off with just one just to see how well it works.

Most of my pliers are held to pegboard using commercial holders or homemade racks. I did spot a alternative (to the Plyworx) drawer rack while surfing the Internet:

That looks like the same exact product but with different branding. The OEM is probably the same, but it’s unclear if that’s Torin, MTS, or a different company.

Brilliant. Thanks. Getting three right now.

$117.57 For the shipping of 1 Pc?
$489.53 Total for 3 PCs!
No Thanks.

Huh? Amazon Prime, baby! Shipping is “free.”
Martin C.
Not for me, apparently.
Lives in Sweden/Scandinavian.
First, customs duties (6-10%) on shipping + the price then there is a 25% sales tax on top of that. (The Luxury tax is much higher, at tobacco, alcohol, petrol, etc.)
We have 33 — 50 income taxes here,
so it’s a bit more expensive to live for us.
Take Care.

Born free, taxed to death!
Is what we say here.

I like this one, will definitely get it. Simple but effective. Thanks Stuart!
