Wrench holder aid

During my new cnc journey I was watching a Mitchell Woodworking video and noticed when he was changing bits he was able to park the small wrench on an unidentifiable location while being able to use two hands to change bit and tighten/loosen. I tried that on my Onefinity elite journeman with Redline spindle and found that there was not a good place that would hold the small wrench in place. So I first protoyped the photo below a holder out of wood and a magnet, and that worked ok, but not great. Then I tried a 3d printed wedge shaped object and that works very well. I attached both objects using a #10 short wood screw from behind the spindle slider. I even labeled them “tighten” and “loosen” for those like me that are directionally challenged. So far so good! Take a look.

Very cool addition. Nice file share.

Great idea. I love the attention to detail with the Tighten and Loosen text.
