Cartoon,... Hanging... You're kind of wishy washy with the direction you're going...

I mounted one of those 4' power strips from HFT on my welding cart and have storage for I think 5 grinders on it, works well... better if I kept the little work surface on the welding table clear enough to use for it's intended purpose...

This was my solution to that, it's basically just two pieces of pipe mounted at different distances from the wall. They hang by the handle, not the guard or disc - I tried that style and it didn't work for me because some guards are inset more than others. This holds anything assuming you have the handle.

On my welding cart I have two short pieces of camp chair tubing welded to the uprights to go inside the handles on the back side then a piece of 1" steel strap along one side in the tank area to hook the guards on but I like what Shran's got going on, wouldn't work in my situation as is though...

Kinda a tool but a Tractor Supply opened up in the biggest town near my house so I could finally get some affordable solvent for a parts washer... I got the parts washer almost 2 years ago, it's still gross inside and needs cleaned (I technically have two, finding a second for $20 wasn't worth digging the other one out of the garage...) but I'm more motivated since I have 10 gallons of PSC1000... $55 a jug is half what NAPA wants anymore I think... It actually took me two trips to get it because for one they were new and for two I was looking for a metal 5 gallon bucket, now they're in one of those square 5 gallon jugs... walked by it like 10 times... Before I fill it I need to come up with a scrap of carpet for the bottom and put a ball valve in the drain hole...

Quick review on this brake line flaring tool I bought last year:
Works good. I have done a bunch of 3/16 flares. As long as you do your part to cut the tubing square and deburr, you'll get a nice flare. The tool itself is kinda crudely made. I have to manually line up the die with the tubing - it's off by just a little bit. Has to be used in a vise, will not work under a car.
Worth $50-80? If you do even a handful of new brake lines on the bench, yes. If you're working exclusively under a car, no - the bar style or the hydraulic tool is a better option.
