Hey guys anyone know of any good socket rails or holders? Can't seem to find any that I like.
Also. What about an anti slip mat for toolbox drawers? Can be store bought or home made.
Pics would be great. Thanks
I've used cheapo Harbor Freight, Ernst, and Olsa. I ended up replacing all of them with Olsa rails. I personally like to grab a rail and take it over to what I'm working on instead of grabbing individual sockets. The Olsa's are made of extruded aluminum, so they are lightweight and strong. The clips actually hold the socket in place and are consistent hold strength across each of the three sizes (1/4, 3/8, & 1/2). You can also easily cut them down to a smaller size with a hacksaw if you like for smaller sets. They are also readily available on their storefront on Amazon.
Harbor Freight were too flimsy. They are cheap, but would flex with even a full set of 3/8
Ernst were nice, but I found the twist lock annoying and even frustrating at times. I kept a few of their rails to keep in my U-pull it junkyard bucket, since they keep the sockets locked in place when I'm going over rough terrain with my yard cart.
If $ grew on trees I would have went with the VIM Magrails, but I couldn't justify the expense as a DIY "weekend warrior".
My vote is for the Olsa's - affordable, quality, functional
