I'm going to have 5 polishers now.

Has anyone come up with a better option than putting them in toolbags.

I do all my detailing in my garage but don't want them getting banged up either.
Photos?
 
I'm in for a good idea as well. I have 3 in the lower drawer of my tool box and the others in a cabinet.
 
For the 3-5 times I pull out my polishers It takes up too much room. If I was a pro with a shop, I would have a local metal shop fab up a narrower, staggered double decker version.

I'm up to 6 polishers with is ridiculous I know but it happens when you guys post how great a machines is and I cant resist.

Can't resist... But I do think I could make something similar out of wood pretty reasonably.

I'm going to see if a friend can make something like the Rupes but use a custom logo instead of the Rupes one.

Hmmm...Aluminum, stainless, HDPE, ..... the gears are turning.......
 
I have 9 polishers.

Makita 9227
Flex
Flex Rotary
Rupes 21
GG6
UDM
PC
PCXP
Griots Mini

I just store them in nice tool bags that I get a Harbor Freight. Usually the bigger bags will hold pads, handles, and extra backing plates. I just make up laminated labels for what polisher is in the bag. I have one bag that easily holds my Flex and a small PC.
 
I've been using a Stanley FatMax Tool Bag.
Although I like the BLACKFIRE Professional Detail Bag the Stanley is stronger.
I can fit four machines in a Stanley FatMax Tool Bag

Pat, do you run a detailing business to have 9 polishers?
Having 5 is making me wonder...when do I make an appointment to see a counselor. For a hobby I'm wondering if I have too much yet.

Hmm this would be tempting, a nice organized hanging polisher holder would be awesome. Not at the Rupes price though, while wood is nice I think metal suits organization better.

I talked to him last night and we are going to try a bare bones prototype probably out of aluminum. No logo or anything that isn't functional and using something as light as we can yet still be strong enough to hold the polishers so that we can keep the cost down.

I thought maybe a polished aluminum would look cool on the wall and it should still be pretty cheap. :cool: He suggested possibly using diamond plate. B)

I just have mine sitting on the bench now. Once we finish our garage addition I will have them stored in a drawer or cabinet. (Old Pic)

 
Was it here or over at autogeek there is a guy I think in the United Kingdom who makes really cool custom wall hanger, but they weren't cheap. Even have the big foot logo lazer in.
