Since you already have it why not try a few rare earth magnets to hold the rails in place?

Drivers slide off rails.

Yes, and magnetic tape strips are weak when on top of thick liners.

Those magnetic knife strips or even the HF ones are cheap and easy. Maybe retrofit your current holders to them?

Try the HF magnetic strips cheap and strong would hold the blades firm and be perfect height, there's coupons to get them free some times they are like 15" long I think.

I just laid mine flat in a 1.5" deep drawer in my box organized by drive type and sizes. They seem to stay pretty well organized for me this way. My few main drivers are sitting out on the top of the workbench for ease of access but this is where I go when I run into a random one that might need something a little different.

This has flats, phillips, robertsons, torx, SAE/Metric nut drivers, Bondhus SAE/Metric hex drivers, l-shaped hex keys, a few hooks/picks, punches, a nut driver, a mostly HF bit set and Craftsman USA bit driver (although I've replaced the most used bits with better ones and just use their pitiful box to hold them), a few punches, folding SAE/metric/torx keys, and some pry bars.

I have the Torin one, it works great. it doesn't take up much space and holds the screwdrivers in the drawer. I don't move it around or hang it vertically so I don't know how strong the magnets are in those applications but laying flat it does its job well. If you alternate handles on each side for every other slot you can get a lot of screwdrivers in a small space. it's a bit pricey but its a buy it once deal, so you soon forget about the price.

There are screwdriver racks and closed boxes that attach to the outside of your toolbox.

Isn't there a thread of some ingenious member who took some 12 gauge solid copper wire, wound it around a rod to get a spring shape, and then spread it out in the box drawer? I can't remember who he was, but I did that at work and it did keep the drivers (and wrenches) organized.
It had the added benefit of being able to be flattened for a shallow drawer and adjusted for different width tools. And it was inexpensive. One of the best DIY solutions I've seen.

Added benefit; you can energize it with 120vac to keep theives away...

Toolbox widget for me. Some screwdriver handles are different. Widths, so if you have something that handles small screwdrivers and large screwdrivers sometimes you want to be able to move them around a bit so you can adjust for that and I'm able to do that with the toolbox widget stuff. Someone recommended them here so I gave it a try and that's what I use mostly

These are on my never ending "to buy list".


You can use them for wrenches or anything. I like the rods because they snap together so you can make them as long as you would like to fit any drawer configuration.

Another suggestion is to get on Etsy and type in "screw driver organizer" or "tool box organizer". A good number of people 3D print some really cool stuff and sell it there. I would rather give my money to a small business then to Amazon!
