ok well ive been sitting in my garage for about an hour trying to get my damn alen wrench set on the wall! i need to mount them to the side of a 2x4. they are the kind with the big handle on top. i need some help with this, ive tried hooks, lots of nails(wood splits when i do that #-o ), 2 nails with wire running across, zip ties...any help/pictures?
good call by making yourself a workstation... Once you have an organized place to work on your bike with your tools handy... you'll wana work on your bike more, which is a good thing. my garage has a ton of droors and cabinets so I just store everything in your there outa the way. But on one wall we have nails hammered in about half way at an angle pointing up. I hang helmets, hats, golves, shoes and sweaty shirts up there..... Do you have a bike stand? I got the cheapest PARK stand and i regret it...its super unstable but does fold up nicely. anywayz...
If holes are not an option, you can screw copper or steel retaining straps (used to hold water pipes/ elec. coduit to a wall, etc.) to the face of the 2X4. This will give you a sturdy "U" to hang a number of different tools. Just about any hardware store will have both.
