My long-handled loppers and my shears currently hang on my shed wall astride
a nail. But this does not really work since they tend to rotate and fall.
Has anyone found a better way of storing large loppers and shears on a shed
wall?

thanks

Simplest and cheapest way is hang on the existing nail, mark for 2 more
nails, one either side of the handles, remove tool, hammer in new nails,
rehang, job done.

Also a god spraying with WD40 or the like will preserve them more.
A fine file passed "Drawfile" style across the front faces a few times
before use after winter will give a far sharp edge to start off with.

Or hang the other way up, and save the cost of a nail (i.e. use only 2) :-)
