Improved Allen Wrench Holder - Flattened

thingiverse

I had been looking around for a good way to hold allen wrenches when I found alexrich82's "Improved Allen Wrench / Hex Key Holder". Using an o-ring (or spring) to retain the wrenches seemed like the perfect solution compared to a friction fit. I also liked the circular design to allow easy access to all the wrenches. However, as much as I despise the typical wedge shaped Bondhus style holders, being able to nest the wrenches for flat storage has its perks. This design is an attempt to bridge the gap. Starting from flat storage, running your finger along the wrenches easily rotates them into a position where they are equally accessible. The Imperial holder fits 0.05" - 1/4". The Metric holder fits 2mm - 8mm. This holder was designed specifically to hold the wrenches that came in a pack of Eklind brand metric allen wrenches. If there's interest, I could add additional sizes. 7/13/2023 Update: By request, added an imperial holder that goes up to 3/8". I have not personally printed or tested this 3/8" holder and cannot verify if it fits the 3/8" wrench or retains the wrenches properly. That being said, I have no reason to think it shouldn't work. 7/24/2023 Update: By request, added a metric holder that goes up to 10mm. Same as before - I have not personally printed or tested this holder and cannot verify it fits or retains the wrenches properly. Again, no reason to think it shouldn't work. 10/22/2023 Update: By request, added a 12 position metric holder with more sizes (1.5, 4.5, 5.5, 7). Same as before - I have not personally printed or tested this holder and cannot verify it fits or retains the wrenches properly. Again, no reason to think it shouldn't work.
