Finally a space saving tool organizer that works well for my deep offset wrenches!

[montanafordman]

I have tried to make good use of my available toolbox space especially since my garage space is limited also and I'm trying to resist buying a much larger tool box just yet... I utilize a rack for my pliers, and socket and wrench organizers and ernst drawer organizers but I've never found a nice way to store my deep offset wrenches. If my offset wrenches lay flat they flop around and take up too much space, lay them on the edge and its too hard to pick them up and identify the size of the wrench you're grabbing. Wrench racks that I have are too low profile to accommodate the large sizes with the offset.

Enter the SK Universal Tool Holder.

I put it in the lid of my 26" craftsman tool chest and it saved me half a drawer. I know many might balk at the price but its very versatile and holds ratchets and other tools too. Using two of them it holds a full set of metric and SAE deep offset wrenches firmly enough to open and close the lid, and yank the wrenches in and out of the holder without moving from where its mounted. One rack is enough to hold the wrenches vertically in place but it would come loose by gravity when closing the lid as the weight of 10 unsupported ends of the wrenches leveraged the holder off the metal

I used a label maker to mark the sizes of the wrenches and stuck the label to some rock auto magnets and cut them to the width of the label. Now at a glance I can see which size I'm grabbing and what end of the wrench its on.


The wrenches clear my ratchets, 1/2 inch sockets and torque wrench when I close the lid of my 26" tool chest. I had to move them slightly to clear the deep well sockets.

You can also put ratchets and other tools in the springy clips.

I have a set from Amazon that is the EXACT same. I don’t believe that these are made in the USA nor that they are made by SK. Sold by Osla Tools. Perhaps they are “assembled in US”.

Olsa sells the clips separately, so if you have the extruded aluminum magnetic rails already, just order the clips and you're good to go. The rails are marketed by several companies. Mine are Kobalt (discontinued), but Sears, Harbor Freight, S-K Tools and even the tool trucks have offered them at one time or another.
