Default Wrench Racks

Do any of you guys have these??:

Ernst Manufacturing 6014M - Ernst Manufacturing Wrench Rail Organizers - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Most wrench racks dont hold all my wrenches. Are these any good?

Don't know about these racks in particular but I've got some different Ernst wrench racks and socket rails sittin someplace in the junk boxes around here. They were worthless crap.

Well, I wsnt really thinking about buying the first one you posted.

I know snap-on or Mac was selling the first ones I posted at one time. Not ideal but when you have a 14 or 15 piece wrench set its about the only option (other than just opening the drawer and throwing the wrenches in).

Figures that they are junk because they are affordable....


BTW, youre too picky....

I've got a set of S&K's that go from 5mm to 32mm and about the same thing in Craftsman's just not up to that big and out of both sets maybe a half dozen wrenches fit into the slots. The rest were to wide in the handle or to short from end to end to fit the slot's.

The socket racks just fall apart.

The drawer wrench organizers may work, I just have to have all my tools mobile when I need em so drawer organizers don't do me much good.

My favourite brand does offer foam molded, hard plastic or rubber drawer inserts for wrenches in all sizes-
but they want an awful amount of money for that.

They do offer a carry unit for wrenches, but want also 30+€ for them:

damn racks dont fit in my Mac road chest. Have yet to find something that does.

I just keep the rolled up in the kit they came in. 1/4"-1 1/4" knuckle savers.
