Anybody know who make Wright socket rails, or how good they are?

[bart1]

I was thinking about ordering several, thinking that they were Ernst. Saw a closer picture and they appear to be different. I already have one Ernst and think it is very good. Does anyone know if Wrights are made by Ernst or if the clips inerchange?

Thanks.

I've been using the Wrights for a while. They work for me. Bought them from McMaster.

Wonder if they are as rigid as the Ernst? See all the reinforcement on the bottom side? They are pretty stiff.

They feel fine. I can pick up one of the long sticks (10"? 14"? whatever the long ones are) filled with sockets and it doesn't flex.

Blue one is made by VIM.

Matco Tool / Craftsman use them for their brand also.

Yes, they're VIM. Same as they sell off the Matco truck, and Sears sells some of the same thing under their own name too. I like Ernst products - but these have them beat on socket rails, hands down.

SK too I believe.

The Wright/etc are better? Hmm...

They're excellent rails though a little spendy. Even the hf knockoffs are better than most other rails though they're not as strong or accurately molded as the originals.

Ernst all the way i wouldnt stock anything else made in USA.

VIM/Wright socket rails are made in the USA too. I'd prove it with pictures of the packaging, except I threw those away weeks ago. Didn't think I'd ever need them as evidence, haha.

Love them. I have Matco, Craftsman, VIM and Kobolt branded ones. The really are a simple high quality design. VIM designs some nice tools and tool accessories
