I saw the new tool announcement about the ratchet holders, nice but I would have ordered instantly if they had a magnetic bottom as opposed to the self adhesive used. Not sure I want to stick that to the drawer liner and not be able to maneuver it at a later date with I have added a new tool to the drawer.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate that. Honest feedback like this is how we keep improving and getting better. Keep 'em coming.

On that line, I would like a two or three level socket rail that pivots like a drill index for long bit sockets. They lay flat when pivoted down to fit in the drawer, but can be turned upward when the drawer is open. You could get 2-3 layers that way

I would love to see a socket organizer that holds sockets at an angle so they can go into a drawer.
How much of an angle would work for you?

Really like this idea—thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Re. Angled, I would think the shorts would be fine straight up, and pivoting the deeps. The issue with a "drill bit box" style idea would be the stacked depth of multiple horizontal sockets, especially once you get into the larger sizes

I have yet to find a tray / rail / holder for locking extensions that seems to work for me, especially the shorter ones with no shank and all locking collar. I have to double them up and set them longer to fit in the holders I have. Something stacking or that clips on the side of a drawer.

What kinds of organizers do you guys wish existed? 🤔

One thought that comes to mind is some sort of clip, cover or band for spring loaded plier handles. I own quite a few pairs of oil filter pliers and specialty pliers that I have to lay flat because the handles spread wide open. I would like to place them standing up in my red Olsa Tools plier rack. I've tried to use rubber bands, but didn't really like it.

@Callelle what are you currently doing for your locking extensions?

@Jtels85 well I've got good news for you then! We've already been working on something like this ;)

Can you offer products in basic black? The screwdriver holders are red and blue, no black. I buy everything in black. I don't like my tool box to look like someone dropped a bag of skittles lol

To each their own :uzi:

Awesome! That would free up almost an entire drawer. I would be a buyer. Do you have any sort of time frame when we might see this product?

I'm not 100% sure yet. Best-case scenario would be late 2026; worst-case scenario would be mid 2027. I can post an update about it closer to launch date. This thread will be updated with sneak peaks and announcements for all of our new product drops.

We do 😂😂! Out of curiosity, what's the part number of the screwdriver holder that you were looking at? I can look into it for you.

Alright, so we actually have the rails in black (with green clips) that you can purchase. On top of that, we have extra black clips that you can purchase as well, but they're currently out of stock :(

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ah, I didn't even look at that one. I figured the aluminum rail was green lol Any idea when they would be back in stock? No rush.

What about this one? Have I missed the all black one? :sneaky:

Well, since you asked...

I wish there was a wrench organizer designed to allow same size wrenches to be stacked. The idea is to save space by stacking combination wrenches in a drawer and simply organizing them by size. So a 14mm RBRT wrench, and my 14mm Craftsman, etc.. can occupy the same footprint in the drawer without sliding off each other. I picture something similar to this NASCAR wrench drawer, with each wrench holder (a single unit with a peg for the box end and flanks to keep the handles in-line) having a magnetic base and then I just position them in the drawer as needed:

Another option, and likely more popular, is to make a clam shell wrench holder, like the MAC and Facom units, designed for use with regular combination wrenches like my Armstrong, Snappy, Proto, etc... This would also save space by allowing multiple wrenches to lay on top of each other in the same footprint, with the added benefit of easy grab and go:
