These are the perfect accessory for your socket wrench set. Socket organizer Rails from Ernst (as shown in the picture below) are some of the best we’ve ever seen. Each one uses a patented holding system that grips each and every socket and keeps it on the rack, even when hung upside down and shook. (I know because I’ve tried it! We use them in our own shop!) Your socket set will always have a home to go to when you use the Ernst socket systems.
They can be attached to their mounting kit to either lay in a drawer or hang on the wall. These new rails all have removable socket clips. The mounting kit (shown below) holds up to four rails and keeps them organized in your tool drawer or on the wall. The mounting kit also comes in a magnetic version, to stay put in your tool drawers.
Also available are snap-on ratchet and extension holders in both face-mount and side mount versions as an option. All Socket Racks come with either red or blue rails, and are available in 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ sizes, and hold from nine to fifteen sockets on rail lengths of 8, 13 and 18-inches. They are so versatile, you can even buy the socket clips in individual packs.
– Your 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ sockets will look good and stay organized!
– You can easily remove them!
– You’ll have 96 I.D. stickers included!
– You can transport them – your sockets will be held securely!
– Your socket clips and accessories snap on at any point!
– The rails have twin serrated edges for maximum versatility!
– Socket clips can be located between previously placed clips, or even on the back side!
– You can hang them vertically, horizontally, or place them in a drawer!
