They’ve seemed to have changed the tools to a Monday. I was in last Thursday looking a few things and couldn’t get them looked at the online leaflet and it said starting Monday.

This bugs me too, I'd love a wall rack system to store batteries and hang tools but any I've seen have room for 4 tools and cost a clean fortune for what they are.

I could 3D print them but there’s a guy selling bits on eBay to hold tools and batteries for about £3 each. Nearly bought them myself at that lol

What were you searching to find those?
I mean this kind of thing with more tool hooks and preferably cheaper haha.

If you've already got the tools etc and nowhere to hang or them why don't you make a custom rack for yourself with some wood, using them very tools lol.
I've seen a few good workbench set ups on here you could maybe get ideas from.
Need tool storage, so buy tools to make storage, need more storage, so buy more tools, need more storage.........

Lots of holders on eBay. This one looked good to me for the batteries.
Then there's wall holders for the chargers and holders for the tools themselves using the battery clip. Find suitable mounting surface, screw them in and job jobbed.
For all they are on there it wasn't even worth taking one of my own printers offline to knock a batch out tbh.

As I said, IF he's already got the tools, which I'm assuming he does as he's asking about racks to put racks to put them on, then that doesn't apply to my suggestion lol

Yeh that's time and a degree of skill, both of which are in very short supply round here... I'd rather throw money at the situation. The battery holders look great through I'll be getting some of those.
I ideally want a strip of the reverse ie 3d printed feet of the battery side to wall mount so I can hang half a dozen of them.
I haven’t been in this thread recently and missed this. Anyone seen them in store recently?
Have screwfix anything similar?

Couldn't find a better picture but what about a **** Strawbridge special? lol. Under the workbench (could do the same to a shelf or unit) - bit of drainpipe, section cut out, screwed in and there you go.
Makes them in one of the episodes.

Probably. It’s just easier to go in to Lidl and buy their 1 rather than researching millions of versions elsewhere!

That’s what I have under my bench. Not much use if you want something to move around the workshop though!
Edit- Mega LOLz at how tidy it was when I had just finished.
It’s literally impossible to keep it clear now, I can barely see any bench.
