cornwell tool users?????

[jtfc]

Anybody have any experience with cornwells mag lock socket holder? I currently use a variety of socket holders from hansen trays to mechanic time savers twist and lock some harbor freight trays to regular old school socket rails. I also have a few of the Napa plastic socket rails. Im trying to standardize my socket storage. I saw those mag lock rails on the truck holding a full1/2 impact set my dealer says he drives around all day and hasn't lost a socket yet. Anybody actually own these and use them daily. I really like the Napa plastic socket rail but it is a pain to remove a socket from them. Any advise would be appreciated thanks.

if you mean these ones:

http://www.cornwelltools.com/webcat/products.php?product=VMMR16B16C-%2d-1{47}2"-Magrail-TL,-16"


they are vim tools magrails

they are great but pricey

the cheapest place i've found to get them are at tooltopia.com

you can see more about them here:

http://www.vimtools.com/store/page30.html


as much as i wanted them... i spent two weeks going back and forth... checking out every type of rail out there.... in the end i just couldn't justify the price.... they are a damn good rail... don't get me wrong and those that use them on here will give them full marks


what i did was buy the first version of the mag rails... vim tools are clearing them out at a steal... so i loaded up on them $5 rail

I see thanks for the links.they are the vim tool mag rails. I usually don't buy stuff online if I can help it but its good to see that you can get it cheaper. Even though they are pricey they still seem really appealing. I want some thing that holds my sockets but not so tight that when I try to pull one socket I pull upthe whole rail. It is nice to know that my sockets are secure but im not jumping my tool cart the most g forces my socket experience is when I open my drawer I don't know why they make them such a ***** to pull off.

Btw they are the ones lennox linked to off the cornwell and vim site. Im on my phone so I don't think I can post links.

That is why I use ^^^^^^^^^^. Each socket is locked in individually and it is a 1 hand operation to release them. Pretty neat actually.

Is this something I could buy from a tool truck or maybe even a physical store. Like I said I usually don't buy stuff online and I especially stay away from ebay. But if they are not available then ill get them online.

Yeah, but on the truck they are like 30+. That is why I bought from them. You won't be disappointed. Might check around your town somebody might have them already. But I bought like 20 sets for all my stuff, I love them.

Yea im gonna need like 15 of them. Good call. And I looked around nobody has the mag rails one co worker has the socket rails with the spring he bought off the mac truck ill ask him on Monday what he thinks of them.

 

[lennoxlennox]

i bought 8 sets of the 1/4, 8 of the 3/8 and 8 of the 1/2 rails

$120 fro 24 rails.... plus i bought a few bags of different sized posts at only $1.75 to add extra spots on the rails

I use the Magrails in my cart and I think they're the best socket holder I have ever used. they aren't cheap but, they save a lot of headaches. They're not meant for transport though. It takes a bit of effort to pry the rail off the cart lid or till. Great rails though.

That's what im looking for. I want the socket rail to stay put and the socket to come off not the other way around.
