Plyworx PLR14 The Pliersrack II, Red

This is literally the only plier rack I could find that will let you make the most out of a shallow tool cabinet drawer. It has allowed me to use all three dimensions of the drawer, rather than only the two-dimensional surface of it (i.e., laying everything flat on the bottom). I have this in a 2.5" deep drawer, and the before and after pictures I've attached show the difference it has made for me. I saved so much space I was able to add my double-jointed GearWrench pliers to the drawer, rescuing them from a random pile on the top level of the cabinet.What's the big difference with this rack? It's not just that it is short enough to fit in the drawer - many other racks are. But the lip or lid of the rack means that you can compress spring-loaded pliers closed, tuck them into the rack, and they will stay closed. Other, open racks won't hold them closed, which means the drawer can't be shut, defeating the purpose. The company also makes a plastic version but from the listed specs that is around 3.3" tall - too tall for my drawer. So this was the only one for me.It's a nice quality, heavy-duty unit as well, with a nice red finish and significant weight. Griot's sells the same unit, so it must be nice. It's also nice that it comes with a kickstand to use vertical on a workbench, and plastic pins to attach it to a pegboard.EDIT: almost three years later I've come back for another one as my plier collection has grown!A couple things to note: First, don't position yours like I first did in the photo with just one rack. I thought I could close the drawer gently enough to keep the pliers in place, but you can't. The back of the rack needs to face the back of the drawer so the pliers aren't dislodged over time. Or, now that I have two, they work really well against the sides of the drawer, facing each other.Second, I see that there is now a shorter plastic version available (PLR16). But the difference between this all-metal rack and the plastic one seem much greater than their price difference to me. The extra $10 seems well worth it.

These are an awesome accessory for metal pegboards and those who don't have a big toolbox for all their pliers. The only issues I had with installing these is lining up all the holes in my three wallcontrol metal pegboards with the pliers racks as I wanted them right next to each other. I had to end up drilling new holes in the pegboard for the rack on the far right side which didn't take too long. These also have different sized spaces for the pliers (narrow on the right and wider as it goes to the left). This may or may not be a problem depending on what pliers you want to store but will require some creativity. These can also be pretty heavy once you put the pliers in, so I wouldn't recommend using them on your average wooden pegboards as they may get ripped out of the holes due to the weight along with the wear and tear from removing and placing the pliers back in the rack. They are bit pricey but are well worth it if you have the wall space for them.

I am a confessed tool junky. I have recently taken to organizing my shop and found I have over 200 pairs of pliers for every profession. Many were acquired from my father at his passing. Having the right tool makes a job easier but not so much fun when you cant find it. I tried other products made of plastic and found they do not compare to this tool. It is well made and accepts either spring loaded pliers or standard pliers. It works equally well sitting on a shelf, laying down in a drawer or screwed to a tool wall. I just now ordered another and will probably order more in the future. These are not cheap and cost almost twice what the plastic versions do. In my opinion it is worth it. I will pass these to my children when I am done with them. It will last a lifetime. For that quality I am willing to pay the price.

Very high-quality, sturdy, somewhat heavy.As others have said, I would hesitate to mount this to a fiber pegboard. The tray itself is around 2 lbs, but it's really about the weight of 12-14 pliers. I just weighed my collection of 12 pliers and it works out to just under 10 lbs. So while Pliersrack adds significantly to that, the majority of the weight is really about the pliers. Even if the box were completely weightless, I don't think I'd trust just two pegholes to that much mass unless you have a metal pegboard. I would suggest that Plyworx add additional mounting holes in the future.That said, I'm perfectly happy to use this on the benchtop. As to the width of the slots, I have a reasonable selection of pliers and was able to get all the pliers in to the available selection of widths. It's a fairly reasonable tradeoff. Perhaps they should offer a version with the same dimensions that incorporated fewer slots but all wide (only the interior wire rack would need to change).Recommended.

This is great! Mounted right to my pegboard and clear lots of extra space in comparison to using the individual pliers hangers.They don’t say it on here, however, from right to left, each pliers channel gets larger to fit different plier sizes and grip thicknesses. Worked out very well for me, but I could see how that could be frustrating or problematic for maybe a person that only uses heavily insulated pliers handles, especially since many companies are producing these “comfort grips” that are big and bulky. These pliers simply will not fit on the far right side, middle and left no problem.Build quality seems to be very good and fit my needs well. Great for someone that wants quick access to their pliers and have put back in the same place everytime.

A useful stand-up rack. Saves skinned knuckles searching a drawer for pliers. Holds wire cutter, needle nose, locking, etc.

Is as describe with a much quicker delivery.
