Tool Organizers...

[dragonle87]

I have been searching online for the most organize & doesn't take up a lot of room. At first, I came across LISLE magnetic socket holders (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") that holds shallow & deep sockets. Though it take up TOO MUCH room in my drawer.

So I did a little more research I came across ERNST & it looks promising, but before I place my order I just want to know if there are any more tool organizers.

And I'm wondering about wrenches organizers as well.

Pictures would be great

I bought socket organizers and love them, I'll post a pic in a minute. I didn't have any luck finding good wrench organizers.

This is what I was using but they took up so much room.

So I bought these

I don't have a picture of the old ones but I couldn't even keep my rachets straight with them now I have all kinds of room and more sockets in the same drawer.

Ernst rails are ok.

I prefer these Craftsman model for a tad lower profile. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00941849000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
You can also get a Harbor freight verion at 1/3 third price but, they aren't as ridgid.
My favorite socket rail system is the Vim magrail TL but, at $2.00 an inch, they're pricey.http://www.vimtools.com/magrail_video/magrail_video.html
My favorite wrench organizer are the KRA15 series wrench rails from Snap on.

I don't like Hansen socket holders. I have no need for a 20mm socket and they take up too much space. Rails can be tailored to fit most drawers or sets. You can also mix drive sizes up in the case of torx bits and hex bits.
Wrench rails provide for little wasted drawer space. Look in the show me your tool cart or box threads for more ideas.

HF has a set of plastic rails for $5.

I really like the Ernst though the downfall are the plastic rails....well pretty much the whole set is plastic. Dont know how durable it will be in the long run.

As for the VIM Magrail....I've never notice their tool organizers before. I'm always on their site, wonder how I miss it. But it does look interesting....even though that's gonna be a lot of rails in the drawer but it's a great space saver. Though I'm curious about the Magrail Tray...would be nice if it can hold 5-6 rails rather than 3.
Where did you buy your socket rails at?

I like the Ernst rails. Currently the only one I have came with my Wiha Torx, but I plan to order more. Very modular, I like that.

Rails save space

I just a few days ago ordered the ernst 12 screwdriver organizer and the 30 low profile wrenc organizer rail. trying to sort out and organize my tool boxes to make more room and to find things quicker and easier.

I hate rails! With every fiber of my being! I am using the Craftsman ones that raidmagic posted, but he is right, they take up a lot of room. I have them in three seperate drawers, one for each drive, along with the ratchets. The nice part is that everything is laid out nice and easy to grab, and easy to see what you are reaching for. But do to space issues I have been looking at the ernst rails with the magnetic mounting kit (The only way I can handle rails, since you dont have to pick up the whole rail and use two hands just to get a socket) or the hansen style.
