T-handle tool organiser
 
I have bought a new set of Torx and hex t-handle wrenches. They are much higher quality than the ones I had previously. However, they did not come with a stand (workbench or wall-mounted stand). My previous budget set of wrenches did come with a stand.

I tried to fit the new ones into the old stands but they won't fit as the plastic handles are a lot thicker.

So, how do you organise your t-handle wrenches so that they are easy to grasp and pick up when you're working on your bike?

^ Yep, I might have to go down the DIY route.

I just use a metal pegboard with various hooks & round loops above my work center, but the easier route from the link might be all you'd need. I tack welded a strip of metal pegboard to my bicycle stand to consistently use the same hooks & round loops.

I prefer it to pro organizers, gives lots of liberty. Grinding screw heads to your liking and adding some plastic thermal-compressed cable housing makes it even better. Arrange to your liking, having tools most often used at hand, not necesserily all arranged by size, as many factory made organizers do.

...the magnetic strip thingies work pretty well. I've used those, and right now I'm using the pegboard fitting that they sell for screwdriver sets.

Could be just OCD, but I don't like having tools magnetized. Except for the few screwdrivers that I do. At least not those used for working on metal, with or near bearings.

Piece of board with a row of holes drilled into it?

A piece of aluminum angle, drilled holes to match the various wrench diameters. The vertical leg can be used as a mounting bracket.
