A week or two ago, I thought it was about time I drew up a rack for the tool holders for my Bantam. It fits neatly over the splashback. The bits were ordered in 304 stainless and TIG welded together. I have changed the design since making mine so it doesn't need bending. Holds 15 units - 5 set as internal and 10 set external. The only problem was buying some more holders to fill it.

The holders fit better the other way round as you can see the business end of the tools.

No problem, £81 delivered in a week.  Would have been £54 in steel.
