Has anyone found a better way of storing large loppers and shears on a

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.
