Wrench rack question

[Zwiser]

Will this wrench rack fit a (OEXM6B) 6mm short snap on wrench?

No it won't. I asked about this early this year trying to figure a way to hold my 6mm and 7mm wrench from Snap On. It's a little too short, it'll fall in the gap.

Ok, what about the 15 wrench rack? the bottom slots seem to be closer together.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

small wrench opening for 12 wrench rack and 15 wrench rack is almost same. 2-3mm shorter on 12 wrench.

It might fit, because 7mm fit with both 12 and 15 wrench rack just fine.

They fit in the Ernst 10 wrench capacity stubby holder.

I use this type for all my wrenches and don't have any of them "stuck down" to my drawer bottoms. They work well and you can set them at whatever spacing you need.

How long is that 7mm?

That looks exactly like one of the Ernst wrench holder styles! Gotta love re-badging/re-labeling.

They look similar, but the Ernst have graduated teeth and the Snap-On do not.

I wouldn't pay $45 for one of these:

but I got one thrown in when I bought a set of wrenches. Pretty handy for all your short/stubby wrenches.

The 6mm short fits perfectly. I believe what has trouble fitting is the larger sizes. I use the Ernst style KRA15A single rails for the short series.

Thanks, what size is to big? im only going up to 19mm in metric and probably 7/8 in sae

These types of racks really don't work well with short Snap-on wrenches:

Short are really just like slightly longer stubby, they don't change in length much at all along the range of sizes.

 

[Zwiser]

All my other wrenches are regular sized. I was just worried about my one short which is the 6mm being to short

 

[franzdom]

Oh then you are good to go, it's going to work fine with that rack.

I noticed Snap-on quit stocking the WrenchRack brand on their site; I wonder why that is.

 

[Zwiser]

Ok thanks every one, and thanks alot for the pics franzdom.

I've got the 12 slot WrenchRack brand in my box. WrenchRack quit putting the foam feet on the bottom of their racks, so I went to the rubber supply to get some material to makes my own foam feet.

Arent those blue point racks rebranded Ernst?

 

[franzdom]

Yes I believe so, free shipping no minimum or truck service and about the same price as Ernst are all valid reasons to get the BP versions. The soft grip racks are really nice.

Yea, i have some of the red Ernst and really like them, i didnt know they were that cheap off the truck, i figured they'd be 3x or so what i can get them for at northern tool, i might get some next week when the snapon truck shows up, itll be a lot easier to warranty a blue point branded one than a Ernst if i ever need to
