Any of you peeps have these? :confused:

How do they work? :confused:

I don't have them, but I've seen them. The spring is bent 90 degrees and held on with a screw that passes vertically through the middle of the peg. When that screw is loose the peg can slide into the t-slot on the rail. Once tightened it protrudes from the bottom of the peg, presses against the rail, and that holds the peg in place and the spring tight.

Less practical than Ernst, for more money, IMHO.

I would agree with that, Ernst seem to work just fine!

That's what I'm trying to figure out; it looks like they're reversible or something. :confused:

Frickin' lousy picture they got too. :cool:

[eschoendorff]

Seems like an awful lot of money and effort for what amounts to yet another imported socket storage "solution."

[Merkava_4]

I haven't even looked at the prices of these things; are they 'spensive?

I sent an email to them asking them for a clear picture; I shouldn't have too.

If they're charging a lot of money for these things, they should get someone that knows how to snap a descent picture. :wtf:

Hey... maybe you could send them a resume and start a new life as a tool photographer?:D

Almost all my sockets are on the aluminum rails similar to the ones sold by Top Tool USA ... they are all made here in the good ol' USA. I mentioned this in a post quite awhile back. The post are adjustable (they have a set screw in the middle of the post) and you have the option of ordering it with a magnetic base (I didn't). I highly recommend them (easy to clean, not affected by solvents, sockets don't fall out, yada yada ...) :)

Yes. (http://performanceracingmall.com/RHEngineering/Socket_Organizer.html)

Socket Rail 13 1/2" with 13 1/2" pegs - $24.50

Two 13 1/2" rails cost more than the Ernst system (https://www.ernstmfg.com/products_css.php), with 4 18" rails.

they should get someone that knows how to snap a descent picture. :wtf:

:wtf::headscrat

You say yours are similar, but don't provide a brand, or link to a prior post with the info (brand, place to purchase, cost, etc.). How about providing us with that?

They look like either a T slot or T track, so I would like to find out how much the pegs are and see if I could use some of either to make my own, to the lengths I need.

Thanks

You have been switched, :lol_hitti
