A while back I bought two sets of Wiha T-Handle Hex Keys, one 8-piece Metric set and one 10-piece SAE set. These are the SoftGrip type which have very thick handles. For a while I jut piled them into a drawer, making it a chore to find the one I needed.

I looked around for some kind of stand that I could wall-mount to hold these tools and easily grab the one I needed. While Wiha makes a metal stand for each of these sets, it didn't look like they would solve my problem.
I found this stand online and bought one. It became obvious right away that this wouldn't be a satisfactory solution. Once filled, the stand is way too crowded and the no-contrast raised markings were hard to impossible to read without lifting the stand up to my face.

Finally, I decided to put my woodworking skills to work (gasp) and built something suitable. The label strip was produced on a Brother P-Touch label maker. It's not pretty but it works great.
