Wrench rack measurement...

[Mastermind]

So I've come to the point I need to redo my wrench drawer. I currently have kra15 racks for everything up to 19mm/3/4, and lucked out that my gearwrench double box set fit up to 25mm with a little modification to lay down the 24 and 25 a little more. I have several larger combo wrenches laying in the back of the drawer, and would like to get them in order on a rack. Problem is I use an extremely shallow drawer on my 68" epic and the 1" plus combos won't stand up and clear on the kra15 racks, so I'm trying to see if anyone has the other snappy racks or the Ernst and if you can measure them with larger wrenches before I shell out for racks I can't use. Pics would be awesome. Here's the current disaster area. Not current, the gearwrench double box have taken the place of the long hf junk.

I have Ernst rails, my 1" wrench sits at 2" high. They also make low profile rails which are 3/4" high, with a wrench should be around 1".

I took this a few years ago for another member. I have them in the second drawer from the top in an epiq, fits 1 1/4 and 32mm. They definitely won't clear in the shallow drawers.

Here's a thread I made a while back http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305574

Hmm... Thanks matt, that's exactly the info I was looking for. You have the kra 15 racks, correct? Or is that the 22 that's for "larger wrenches"? My shallow wide drawer is devoted to pliers and vise grips, and there's no way I could get them into a shallow drawer. I have 3 pliers racks in there plus all the others I couldn't make fit.
I did take a current pic today, the only thing not in these two drawers is my flex head gearwrench set, they are on the lid of my cart in the mts locking rack.

Sorry, they're Ernst rails

Not the "low pro" ones I take it.

No sir, the regular ones. The low pro's just take up too much space. I have too many wrenches as it is. What I did for my pliers drawer was 2 northern tool plier racks in the lower deep drawers, my daily used pliers are in my cart, as it seems I have too many of those too...

As organized as that pliers rack is, it still looked quite unorganized for some reason.

my pliers drawer is ridiculous.

my pliers drawer is ridiculous.

Off topic, but what brand are those green handled retaining ring pliers and are they any good?

I always wanted the try the low pro racks but iv heard the wrenches slide off while opening and closing the drawers. Not sure how true that is.

They are snap on. I haven't broke any yet. I think the coffee cup sold me on the set lol. There was a promo with the two larger ones in a second tray, wish I could find those two in green with the tray. I bought a red pair because I needed them for Honda wheel bearings. Drives my ocd nuts.
