Do you have any pictures of the chainring+cable+tool solution in action?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:58 AM,  <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:christopher@holisticcycles.com">christopher@holisticcycles.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

This is more of a rental space for longer repairs. The other set is hanging from a 20&quot; wheel at the top of a stand, Each tool is connected to a chain ring with a cable and hung off the rim. Quick repairs can be done, tools end up in pockets and the chain ring lets them know a weird thing is in their pocket. At the end of the day only hard core thieves steal tools. We had scrappers steal two repair stands. Bolting things down is a good idea </font></div>

We paint tools, and put a grinder mark on them, such as a &#39;FC&#39;.  We put<br>
trust into people and almost every tool gets returned.<br>
<br>
We have 8 colored tool boards with colored tools.  At some point we might<br>
paint all boards and tools just one color.<br>
<br>
We decided living with a tool taken now and then is quite easier than some<br>
kind of checkout system.<br>
<br>
Specialty tools are sort of similar, and the really expensive tools have<br>
to be asked for.<br>
