A system for organizing tools including a board and one or more holders. The board has a plurality of holes formed on the top surface, the plurality of holes are arranged in rows and columns at predetermined intervals, where the holes in each row and column are aligned with holes in adjacent rows and columns. The one or more holders each have a top portion and a bottom portion, where the top portion secures one end of a tool and the bottom portion has a hole dimensioned to align with the plurality of holes on the board. One or more screws secure the one or more holders to the board, where the one or more screws pass through the hole on the holder and into one of the plurality of holes on the board.

Claims (19)

1. A system for organizing tools, the system comprising:

a board having a plurality of holes extending into the top surface but not extending through the board, the plurality of holes being arranged in rows and columns at predetermined intervals, wherein the holes in each row and column are aligned with holes in adjacent rows and columns;

one or more holders having a bottom portion, the bottom portion of each holder having at least one hole dimensioned to align with the plurality of holes on the board; and

one or more threaded fasteners for securing the one or more holders to the board, wherein each of the one or more fasteners passes through a respective one of the at least one hole in the holder and into and threadedly engaging a respective one of the plurality of holes on the board,

wherein the one or more holders has a top portion for receiving an end portion of a tool for securing the tool to the board,

wherein the top portion has at least one wall extending vertically from the bottom portion for receiving the end portion of a tool to the board,

wherein the at least one hole extends through a lip that forms part of the bottom portion and extends outward from the bottom portion; and

wherein a concentric inner and outer wall define a rim.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the concentric inner and outer walls defining the rim are of non-similar geometric shapes.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the top portion has at least two walls extending vertically from the bottom portion and has a recess between the walls for securing the end portion of a tool to the board, and wherein the at least two walls are angled outwardly in a parallel fashion to accommodate varying tool lengths.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the top portion has at least two walls extending vertically from the bottom portion and has a recess between the walls for securing the end portion of a tool to the board, and wherein the at least two walls extending from the bottom portion are connected at one edge to create a corner for receiving a tool or container.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wall is rotatable relative to the bottom portion to form an adjustable cam holder.

6. A system of organizing tools, the system comprising:

a board having a plurality of holes extending into the top surface but not extending through the board, the plurality of holes being arranged in rows and columns at predetermined intervals, wherein the holes in each row and column are aligned with holes in adjacent rows and columns;

one or more holders having a bottom portion, the bottom portion of each holder having at least one hole dimensioned to align with the plurality of holes on the board;

the one or more holders having a top portion for receiving an end portion of a tool for securing the tool to the board; and

one or more threaded fasteners for securing the one or more holders to the board, wherein each of the one or more fasteners passes through a respective one of the at least one hole in the holder and into and threadedly engaging a respective one of the plurality of holes on the board,

wherein the at least one hole extends through a lip that forms part of the bottom portion and extends outward from the bottom portion.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one hole that extends through the lip that forms part of the bottom portion extends in a parallel fashion to the top surface of the board.
