Abstract
A compact organizer for open-end type wrenches includes a plurality of different sized rubber washers mounted and retained on a support rod. The opening in the head of a wrench is reasonably forced onto a corresponding rubber washer, compressing the rubber washer and causing it to grip the opening in the wrench. The set of wrenches are held parallel to and butted up against one another, therefore requiring a minimal amount of storage space.
Claims1
A compact organizer for a set of different sized open-end wrenches comprising:
- a support rod having first and second ends, said support rod extending through the respective centers of a first retainer, a first thin rigid washer, a plurality of progressively different sized rubber washers, a second thin rigid washer, and a second retainer, said first retainer proximate said first end and adapted to grip said support rod, said first thin rigid washer sized to form a stop for the largest wrench, of the set said rubber washers each having an outside diameter slightly larger than the opening of the head of a corresponding wrench, said rubber washers having a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the head of a corresponding wrench, said rubber washers being compressible when reasonably forced into the opening of the head of a corresponding wrench, said second thin rigid washer sized to form a stop for the smallest wrench, of the set said second retainer proximate said second end and adapted to grip said support rod.
