Plier Storage Rack Organizer

Pliers can be difficult to organize because they're somewhat unwieldy and don't always lend themselves readily to pegboard hooks. Most plier storage organizers are designed to lay flat in a drawer, but the Plyworx plier organizer can be mounted on pegboard, lay flat in a drawer, or stand on a workshop bench, which is why we bought it.

Plier storage rack dimensions

The Plyworx plier rack is made of heavy-duty plastic, has 15 compartments ranging from 1" to 1/2" in width, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. The plier organizer measures 12.75" long by 8.75" tall, by 3.25" deep. The two 1/4-inch holes for hanging the organizer on peghooks are 3.625" from the top of the rack and are spaced 9" apart. The image below shows the dimensions of the plier rack:

Mounting the Plyworx organizer to pegboard

The Plyworx organizer includes plastic mollys for hanging the organizer on pegboard, but like most plastic mollys, it looks like they can only be used once, so you probably won't be able to reuse them if you decide to move the plier rack. The holes in the rack will accommodate 1/4-inch peg hooks, but the protruding peghook may interfere with the tool in the slot. The shorter L-shaped peghooks work better than the standard 4" peghooks. Once it's full of tools, the plier rack weigh 8-10 pounds depending on the tools, so you'll need 1/4-inch pegboard, and maybe even metal pegboard.

Plier storage organizer alternatives

The Plyworx plier organizer (ad) works fine for my workshop - it stands in a corner of the workshop bench and it's very stable. Here are two of the other plier organizers I looked at before buying the Plyworx plier rack, and the only reason for not purchasing either was the lack of mounting options. Both links go to Amazon.

  • The Ernst Manufacturing 5500 Plier Pro holds 10 tools but it's designed to lay flat in a drawer.
  • The vinyl-coated OEMTOOLS Pliers Organizer holds 16 tools, the spaces are all 3/4" wide, and is also designed to lay flat in a drawer.
