Seen these plastic socket rails anywhere?

Matco sells these for, um, too much. I've got 2 of them, and really like them. I'd like to get about 20 more for use at the house and at work in all 3 drive sizes... But the price would kill me.

Anyone seen these sold cheaper, by the guys who actually make them? I haven't hand any luck on the usual tool websites.

I *think* Vim tools sells them

try www.ernstmfg.com for a very similiar rail in different lengths, red or blue and 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drives. You can also find 15 inch long ones in Black or grey at Sears and Chinese knockoffs in grey at Harbor Freight.

Yep, I was just in Sears today, they have em!

[TNToy]

Thanks. At 1/3 the price of the VIM/Matco ones, I think this is one thing I'll be picking up at Sears. Especially since I want a TON of them.

Hit em up with the $5 coupon while its still alive.

Buy as many of those 3-in-a-set ones as you can. They are much cheaper buying in triples then buying in singles. I think i have 15 or so holding my socket. actually used some coupons to buy some more pegs.

Does anyone know where I could find a plastic socket rail that's longer than the Craftsman one? I have a set of sockets that's too much for one of those rails and I don't want to split them up.

www.ernstmfg.com has socket rails up to 22 inches long.

I've bought 5 sets of the CMans (w/ $5 coupon). They come in sets of 3 (1/4, 3/8 & 1/2) or in individual rails. They work great.

I did see the south-side China version at HF also. you might check there. I have not tried the $5 coupon at HF, but would not surprised if they took it. Worth a shot anyway.

All I can find is an 18" one, but that will suit my needs nicely. Thanks.

So do you guys stand the socket rails up when loaded or lay them on the side? I was thinking that with deep sockets or small 1/4 sockets they'd just fall over when openeing the drawers.

I have mine loaded front to back with no issues. side to side - they would fall over.
