It’s always good to be organized in your shop. These magnetic trays are great for keeping tools you need close by for easy access.

These magnetic trays are a great problem solver for keeping stuff you need close by for easy access. The kit includes four sizes: 6”, 8”, 10”, and 12” long.

On my jointer, I keep a push stick and push pad at hand.

The tray on my planer holds a tape measure and the remote for my dust collector.

Drum sander? I like having my digital calipers handy.

My calipers live in the tray on my lathe.
These trays are a nice solution to keep your essentials within reach. While they may not successfully stay in place if you put a two-pound hammer in the tray, they do work very well for the stuff I’ve shown in these photos. You’ll have to empty out random chips and sawdust from them periodically, but that’s a small price to pay for the convenience they offer.
great to have needed wrenches etc, nearby when working on a machine that might need a adjustment
I like to see the helpful hints
you can get the trays for 13$ at harbor freight and the add on folding tray for 29$
