Gang, I am officially out of room in my shop so I need to get creative.  My pipe clamp storage consists of a peg board with the pipe clamps hanging on hooks.  I have about 25 1/2” and 3/4” clamps of varying lengths (2 feet to 6 feet) hanging and I need ideas to consolidate them.  So, whatcha got folks?

 

Since that one was made, I've added a smaller one on the wall to the left. Have to see if I have a pix of that. This one has a few more trigger clamps stows between the pipe clamps

left wall

I've got a pile here, a pile there, and a pile somewhere else.

I feel your pain, Larry.

Mine are hanging off the main beam in my garage. Haven't had one fall in the 24 years I've been keeping them there!

Cool idea!

Lew, I like the rack for the hand clamps.

Most of  mine are on wheels, then I can put them out of the way. I do have a few hanging on the wall next to the bench and the assembly table tfor when i need one quickly. This was copied from Norm's design.

You can never have enough clamps, Fred.

That's when I go next door and borrow some more! 

Wish I could help Ron, but first, I don't have a dedicated shop space and second I bought into the McDonald storage system...a clamp, clamp here, a clamp, clamp there, here a clamp, there a clamp every where a clamp, clamp, 'ole McDonald had a clamp, now where did they go.

 Looks like I'm not alone!

A repurposed hanging rack works for my pipe clamps

My DeWalt Bar Trigger Clamps are hung anywhere I have hooks in either of my shops

I plan for somethike Fred has in my new shop but for now a repurposed wall shelf bracket.

 

To he left on the wall you will see my long clamps . Over the bench are all F style and parallel clamps.

Keith, is your rack on casters???

Yes.  Casters on the corners

 

I also have a small assortment of F-clamps, Quick-Clamps, and two Matchfit clamps in a drawer in my assembly table.

 

I got about 100 misc. clamps a few years ago from a guy that was moving out of country in about 48 hours from that point.  Prior to that, I put some 1x2 across the ceiling joists in my basement shop. and hung bar clamps from there.

 

 

I use french cleats screwed to the wall

Mine are similar to Zacks but 4 on a rack. Vice grips I just used an angle iron.

 

I've got more wall space than floor space, so bar clamp racks on the wall, and C-clamps hang out on the perimeter stretchers of my CNC base.
