That's the same thing Heavy Duty posted up. If they work theres nothin wrong with them at all. But I'd need somebody to tell me they actually work cause i bet i already have over $200 invested in gadgets to carry these things in and still nothin that works. I ain't buyin nothin else unless it's tried and true by somebody on here.

I have these in the various incarnations. Portability is very important to me too and I couldn't be an happier with them.

I have used these exclusively since they came out.....the best I've found yet.

There are a number of places to get them--direct from VIM Tools, off the Matco truck, or at Sears. VIM sells red, Matco sells red, blue, black, gray, and I think even yellow, and Sear sells black or gray.

FWIW Sears is the least expensive for the clips but their rail selection is limited to only a couple lengths....Matco's selection is the best but their price is also the highest.....YMMV.

Default pictures of the rails

Here are some pictures taken "in the field" of the Craftsman/VIM/Matco rails in action....there are before & afters of the bending, too.

Video on the way!!!

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Video Added... I tried my hardest to shake these off. This is just a rail of 3/8's. The thing I sent you about the tray is the same design but holds 1/4" 3/8" and 1/2". The rails are alsi magnetic.
