What kinds of organizers do you guys wish existed?
How much of an angle would work for you?
Really like this idea—thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I guess ideally it should be angled just enough so deep sockets (maybe 3-4" long) can layer within a 2" tall drawer that a lot of cheaper or older toolboxes have.
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
Screwdrivers and bit sockets, mainly. There are already lots of good wrench holders for tool boxes

@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 thisOne 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.

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
! Out of curiosity, what's the part number of the screwdriver holder that you were looking at? I can look into it for you.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
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!
Well, since you asked...What kinds of organizers do you guys wish existed?
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?
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:
So we have a few different kinds of rails:
Ours really don't have that problem. The clearance and tolerance of the clips and rail are so low that as soon as you brush or try to push sockets on it, it torques the socket + clip into the rail which essentially pins it in place. I just tried it on our demo toolbox in the office and I had to use a considerable amount of force to actually get them to move. If you'd like, I can send a video to you to demonstrate; just lemme know!
Is the Koken rail that you have magnetic? If so, basically what you're saying is that the magnetic strength isn't strong enough to hold the rail in place while removing sockets, right?
Really neat idea! I'm going to bring this to our product guy. If the team likes the idea, we'll look into manufacturing.3. Is there any way to make an aluminum rail, with a t-slot/channel, that is magnetic which can accept these type of studs. These studs slide into place then twist down to lock it in place. Never moving. Plus with the stud being round you can arrange the socket any way you want on the stud.
Interesting to see that it kinda looks like they're who VIM gets their mag rails from.
These socket rails do have a "slot" in each end, and you could probably attach it to a backing of some kind to make your own tray. I have seen other brands where it is riveted to a piece of metal for very low-profile.
