Have two of those and like them a lot

They are very nice. Keep my sockets secured even in a bouncy cart drawer on our uneven and pot-marked floors.

I have all my sockets mounted on them and am very pleased with how well they work. I'd recommend them to anyone. They are a little pricey, but they will last a lifetime.

Awesome! How do the ratchet and extension attachments work?

They work great. Recently upgraded so I wouldn't have loose sockets bouncing around in my tool bag on service calls (and wouldn't lose sockets in the snow) and can keep my ratchet and long extension all together.

I have them and I like them. My only complaint is that I sometimes have trouble getting a socket to twist when my fingers/gloves are oily or greasy. Bigger sockets you can put your thumb inside and get a grip, but the smaller ones can be a little stubborn.

Great I'm going to buy some of these for my sockets and ratchets. Do you know if the ratchet adapters will work for Proto premium pear head ratchets? They have a thicker handle

Take a big socket on those posts and turn it back and forth a dozen times or so. Some of the clips come a little tighter from the factory then others, but working them a few times loosens them up to a much more manageable level, especially for those smaller sockets.

Love mine. Have tons of them!

Another fan. FYI, Summit Racing has Ernst stuff at pretty good pricing. Get $99 worth of stuff & free shipping.

How tall do they stand with deep sockets on the back row? My kra4107 box top drawer is only 3.75" deep

 

[Loscaldazar]

Dimensions for a 13" rail are as follows: 13"x1.125"x1.175"

That should be the same (except for the length measurement) for all the other rails too. It might be a bit close.

**** I might have to stick with Hansen socket holders. Is there anything else out there for holding ratchets and extensions so they don't roll around?

 

[Ainsley]

I recently got a whole setup for my sockets. Loving them so far!

Second on the Summit Racing or ML Tools for the best pricing, Amazon and the Ernst website are way out of line on price...buy them, you'll love them.

I don't see it being a problem. The clips hold solid, but are flexible enough that I think I could comfortably fit the knurled handle of my SK ratchet in without a problem.

Kinda like this style of trays. Currently I am looking to get rid of my Hansen style trays and move into something different.

For storing ratchets I have been using a magnetic plier rack from mechanics time savers and it's worked out good.
