Wrench rack for deep offset wrenches?

[qqzj]

I ordered this wrench rack for my deep offset wrenches. However, it seems a bit too small. Even worse, I ran out of space before I can put the other two onto the rack. So it seems that I need a larger rack with more space in between the wrenches? I did not expect to come across this problem. Thanks for any advice!

HF sells a variety of wrench racks. I get the strips and make my own by gluing them to a thin piece of acrylic. That way I can make them custom for each set and drawer. I never take the whole rack out of the drawer but also don't want the rack stuck down in case I want to change configuration.

Not sure if a carry handle is a “must have" but if not then checkout Alien Space Saver wrench rails. Just got a couple sets in and they are amazing! Fully adjustable spacing, setup tight spaced or really spaced out. In the process of redoing my wrench draw, then will post a full review. Finish/quality is great and they are USA made.

The Harbor Freight copy of Ernst wrench rails work just fine for my offset wrenches. The wrench openings go from large to small and the rails have a magnetic strip to keep them from moving around too much. Just a side note, one rail is longer than the other so it is meant to be at an angle if you want the wrenches to be straight. Also, you get two wrench rail sets that orient the wrenches in two different directions, not two identical sets of rails. This didn't dawn on me until I got them.

I like protoco wrenchracks. I spring for the magnetic bases which hold well. They have foam that protects wrenches from clacking around.

They come in different colors. My favorite are the dark green

Thanks. I will check it out. But the ones you have are not Ernst copies. Those Ernst ones have a ‘gripper’.

The rack holding 4 wrenches can have 8 sizes of box ends if no size is repeated.

Are you trying to stack a full sequence set in which the next wrench up in the set starts with its small end being a repeat of the large end of the smaller wrench?

YMMV

interesting. I also want a couple holders like this, but hadn't looked at Tekton, because their holders are just rebranded Ernst, and Ernst don't sell one like this. Thanks.

What kind of advice are you looking for? Get a bigger wrench rack? I had a bunch and threw every one of them away and spent a lot more money than I anticipated on Toolbox Widgets.

+1 for toolbox widgets large wrench racks, they work great, though you do need a deep drawer for them to work


the other thing i use for oversize wrenches is.... one of those old stainless steel toast racks.. yes really, can pick them up for next to nothing and they fit really large wrenches (or adjustables....)

I just put my big wrenches in a big box, I don't need cutouts to show that every tool is back in the box because I don't work on Aircraft.

An Ernst socket rail works great to hold deep offset wrenches. You can slide / add as many stops as you need.

This looks like an idea worth investigating!

Such a simple solution, I like that and will keep that in mind
