1. A wrench organizing assembly comprising:
a base selectively positionable upon a substantially horizontal surface;
a pipe attached to and extending upwardly from a top of the base;
a plate rotatably attached to the pipe proximate to an upper end of the pipe, such that the plate is parallel to the top of the base;
a plurality of hangers selectively attachable to the plate, such that a hook segment of each hanger is positioned between the plate and the base, wherein the hook segment is configured for hanging of a tool;
a plurality of holes positioned in the plate and extending circumferentially around the plate proximate to a perimeter of the plate;
each hanger comprising
a threaded segment removably insertable upwardly through a respective hole of the plurality of holes, such that the hanger is selectively securable to the plate using a pair of lock nuts positioned on the threaded segment and bracketing the plate, and
the hook segment being attached to the threaded segment;
a section of the threaded segment protruding upwardly from the plate, wherein the section of the threaded segment is configured for selective insertion into a socket, such that the socket is removably attached to the plate;
a cover selectively attachable to the plate and covering the sections of the threaded segments protruding from the plate, wherein the cover is configured for retaining sockets positioned on the sections of the threaded segments; and
a handle selectively attachable to the cover, wherein the handle is configured for grasping in a hand of a user, positioning the user for selectively rotating the plate for selecting a respective tool attached to a respective one of the hangers, and such that the user is enabled for lifting the base, the pipe, the plate, the hangers, and the tools.
 
7. A method of organizing and accessing wrenches comprising the steps of:
selecting a respective wrench from a plurality of wrenches based on a size of the respective wrench;
hanging the respective wrench on a respective hanger of a plurality of hangers attached to a plate, a plurality of holes positioned in the plate and extending circumferentially around the plate proximate to a perimeter of the plate, the plate being rotatably attached to a pipe, the pipe being attached to and extending from a base, each hanger comprising
a threaded segment removably insertable upwardly through a respective hole of the plurality of holes, such that the hanger is selectively securable to the plate using a pair of lock nuts positioned on the threaded segment and bracketing the plate, and
a hook segment attached to the threaded segment and being positioned between the plate and the base, a section of the threaded segment protruding upwardly from the plate, a cover selectively attachable to the plate and covering the sections of the threaded segments protruding from the plate, a handle selectively attachable to the cover, wherein the handle is configured for grasping in a hand of a user;
repeating the selection and hanging steps until all of the wrenches of the plurality of wrenches are hung in sequence from the hangers based on their sizes;
rotating the plate to position a respective wrench required for use to a position wherein the respective wrench is visible to a user;
removing the respective wrench from the hanger;
the step of hanging the respective wrench entailing hanging the respective wrench from a respective hook segment;
selecting a respective socket from a plurality of sockets based on a size of the respective socket;
positioning the respective socket on a section of a respective threaded segment;
repeating the selection and positioning steps until all of the sockets of the plurality of sockets are positioned in sequence on the sections of threaded segments based on their sizes; and
the step of rotating the plate entails grasping the handle and rotating the cover, such that the plate rotates concurrently with the handle and the cover.
