Tariffs!

Try Tooltopia. They sell 12" for under $30 no studs.

It’s magnetic but also has the fingers.

No, I gave the setup to my son when I retired. He is also an A&P. He is a lead tech now so that box is probably sitting in some corner at the airport with dust all over it.

I had to reinforce mine also.

Yes the original box was a grey Craftsman. I did a little modifying. Where the tray sits in the box I went to the end, there is a dead area because it was double walled. Cut the area out so I could fill it with rubber gloves. Cut a hole in the side of the box and put a small spring loaded door...

Magnetic from Vim Tools

Some of my thoughts on how to carry tools. This is what works for me and it’s sure not perfect and may not work for someone else. My background is aircraft technician. I spent decades at O’Hare, at the terminal, working through trips for a major airline. I had a rollaway near the control...

Snap on box is 18 1/2" x 6 3/4" x 5" high, No holes in box, everything held in place with Magrails.

Every tool the box has its own spot, so you can see if one is missing.. As far as I know the military requires showing but the airlines do not.

Back in the 90's I sent a prototype of an earlier version of the Magrail to Wright Tools. A V.P. at Wright sent me a letter saying it was the best socket holder he had seen, but Wright didn't make socket holders. He said I should contact Vim Tools. I sent that letter to Vim Tools and they...

Found another picture. This is what is in the top tray.. The wrenches were an issue because wrench handles are different widths. I milled a channel in a block of Delrin for each individual wrench handle to maximize space. That allowed each wrench to have its own slot yet keeping them very close.

I made it for my grandson who is an A&P technician. He just started with a major airline. Everything in the box is pretty much held in place with Magrails. I invented the Magrail and the Milbar Reversible wire twister he will be using. The Magrail was actually designed for the aircraft...

This set up is for an aircraft technician.

For those who would like something on the base of their Magrail you might consider 3M Gripping Material. Available on 1" wide rolls and is adhesive backed . it's approximately .020 thick, soft and has a super grip. Has very little effect on the holding power of your Magrail. I have purchased it...

Yes its set up for an Aviation technician.. I know a young man in school getting his A & P license and will give this to him.

Update on the tool tray. No holes drilled in the tool tray. Everything held in place with Vim Magrails. The speed handle is the handle now. It is attached to a 20" double wide Magrail. Tray with tools 38 pounds.

Maybe this will give you a few ideas. This is an aviation technicians setup with a little help from some Vim Magrails. The tools are what will be going into this Snap On tote tray. The tray measures 20 1/4 x 8 x 3 1/4". It will go in a Snap On 21G box and the lid will close. I will post the...

I am not sure everyone is aware of the Vim Magrail TL rail lifter (MRRL1 is the part number) which makes the Magrail TL great for grab and go. The Vim Magrails will also magnetically attach base to base so they can be placed in a tool bag without attracting other tools. Ron

When attaching two Magrail TL's back to back, touch the two ends at 90 degrees and rotate them into place. To separate, grip the sockets and open like a book. Hope this helps. Ron
