Ernst socket rail sizes

[fiatsam]

Does anyone know if different size clips (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") can be used on the same rail, or are the clips and rails unique for each particular size?

I'd like to be able to mix and match socket sizes on the same rail, but their catalog isn't clear whether this is possible.

Assuming they can be mixed, I'll be picking up some up soon. Amazon comes up first on the search engines, and while places like Northern carry Ernst, it doesn't look like they cary the full line. Any recommended GJ vendors that do? Thanks.

Yes. The clips and rail are the same size and you can mix them.

I think Summit Racing is about the cheapest for them. Also look up Ernst's site. I have one ernst rail, but switched to Wright, which I get from Harry Epstein.

but for $5 rail, i think you will do better to buy the vim magnetic rails they are clearing out

They are cheap right up until you pay the $10 shipping charge.
