Gridfinity 2x5 Plier Organizer (Heavy Duty & Standard)

Keep your toolbox perfectly organized with these custom Gridfinity 2x5 plier holders!

Many standard plier holders struggle with the thick, angled handles of high-quality tools (like Knipex). These modules are designed with a 17mm raised base, which elevates the tool joint and allows the thick handles to rest perfectly flat in your drawer without crashing into the bottom.

I have designed two different versions with highly optimized dimensions using real-world tool measurements:

1. Heavy Duty / Water Pump Pliers (e.g., Knipex Cobra)

* Size: 2x5 Gridfinity

* Capacity: 8 slots

* Total Height: 57 mm (17 mm raised base + 40 mm walls)

* Wall Thickness: 5 mm

* Standard Slot Width: 17.625 mm flat resting area (20.6 mm at the top before fillets)

* End Slot Width: 17.123 mm flat resting area (20.123 mm at the top before fillets)

* Perfect for large water pump pliers and heavy-duty tools. The wide spacing ensures they easily slide in and out.

2. Standard Pliers (Cutters, Needle-nose, Combination)

* Size: 2x5 Gridfinity

* Capacity: 9 slots

* Total Height: 47 mm (17 mm raised base + 30 mm walls)

* Wall Thickness: 8.4 mm

* Standard Slot Width: 12 mm flat resting area (14 mm at the top before fillets)

* End Slot Width: 11.5 mm flat resting area (13.5 mm at the top before fillets)

* The thick 8.4mm walls act as built-in spacers so the bulky handles of your standard pliers won't crash into each other.

Both models feature smooth fillets at the top to act as a funnel for easy insertion, while maintaining a flat bottom for the tools to stand securely.

💡 Setup Recommendation: Gridfinity Tiles

To get the absolute best result in your drawer, I highly recommend placing these modules on top of flat Gridfinity Tiles (I personally use a 2x5 tile setup under these). This gives the plier handles a perfectly flat surface to rest on, and raises the overall setup just enough for optimal clearance.

Recommended Print Settings:

* Material: PETG (Recommended for durability against metal tools, but PLA works fine)

* Perimeters/Walls: 3 (Highly recommended! Gives the walls massive strength so they won't break when dropping metal tools into them)

* Infill: 5-10%

* Top/Bottom Layers: 4

* Supports: None required

Source Files Included:

I have included both .STEP and .F3D files. Feel free to download, remix, and adjust the slot widths to perfectly fit your own specific tools!

Happy printing and enjoy your clean toolbox!
