Backsaw Holster - Philip1231 - 11-18-2024
Here's something I came across recently that may be the answer to a problem I've had in the shop forever: not enough room to store things. I have a particular issue storing backsaws. I'm not a fan of traditional saw tills: they get the job done but it's not always easy to distinguish one saw from another. This device, sold by Blue Spruce Tools, is called a backsaw holster. It's made of metal and has a slot for the saw plate and spine. As you can see from the pictures: it's an easy add-on item that holds the saw securely and lets you see the entire saw.

That is a clever Idea, thanks for Sharing, Phil. Not sure how it would damage our oval spines.

It's simple, clean and inexpensive, but its requires plenty of space in a cabinet to slide the saw laterally through the bracket. This means that a short saws effectively take the same space as a longer saw using a hook-style bracket.

That's an interesting device. I like the Blue Spruce Logo cutouts on the holster. I think I'd prefer plastic over metal to prevent any potential scratching of the spine and saw plate. It does consume a lot of real estate, so that's a consideration for those for whom space is limited.

I think it's for the lid of a dutch tool chest or simliar oaccasions.

Pedder: point taken: I think some masking tape applied to the edge of the slot would help in this regard.
All: this holster holds the saw in a more or less horizontal position but it does not grab the saw in any way: the saw can easily slide forward and backward. I am not sure it would work on the lid of a tool box unless the box were completely stationary, and even then the saw would not be secure when lifting the lid.
This device could be modified by adding a couple of magnets to grab the saw plate. I may investigate that.

Gotta love the marketing there.
1. Invent a "problem"
2. instill fear in people who won't question years of history and saw storage
3. sell a solution for it.
Classic.
