#0051 T-Handle 10 Hex Key Rack (Holster) - with a secret compartment ;-)

I like my Powerbuilt T Handle Metric Hex Key Set (10 keys) but I really don't like the rack that it holsters to.  It's made of cheap metal and is very irritating when the key scrapes against the metal edges.  Plus the text is not readily visible and not that easy to reach on my desk.  I wanted a more pleasant experience when reaching for these tools so I designed my own more ergonomic rack.

Features:

• Tilted forward by 25° to make it easier to reach.  

• Fits 10 metric keys: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm.
• The size labels are larger and easier to read. You can color in a contrasting color on the labeling to make it even more easy to read.
• The base is stable and doesn't scratch your table's surfaces.
• Single print with no supports needed.
• Hollowed out on the underside to minimize filament usage.
• Just for fun: it has a “hidden tray” nested under the holster - I do it to keep my kids away from my chocolates!

Because my Hex Key rack is now made of plastic, I eliminated the irritating scraping sound and is much easier to reach.  This rack should be able to fit other brands of hex keys but I don't have any to test out at the moment.

Here's the spacing between the key handles to clear each other.  Each dimension represents the width of each handle (with a 1mm clearance.)  If yours stay inside these dimensions then it can work for yours as well.

Tip: Since it's on the larger size, I strongly recommend at least a 4mm brim to prevent the corners from lifting off the bed.

So far, I've only designed this rack to fit Metric Hex Keys, but if you'd like to see an Imperial/English version as well, please let me know (DM me) and I'll work on it.  Since I don't have an imperial hex key set, I'll need some dimensions from someone to make sure the design works as expected.

Remember, you can earn some Prusameters if you post a pic of your make!  Plus, it would make my day. ;-D

Happy Printing!
