Ernst Manufacturing Wrench Rail Set with Magnetic Backing, 40 Tool, Red

A new toolbox meant I needed new wrench rails, as my old, old Snap On rails were still adhered to the drawer in my old box. I looked at a lot of choices and was enticed by the way these are designed to sit properly in an "N" shape, AND how the spacing is proportional for the larger wrenches.My old rails were symmetrical, so they were arranged in dual "V's", which is okay, but because the spacing was consistent (no consideration for larger/smaller wrenches), I found it necessary to skip spaces for the last few large wrenches. Otherwise, they really didn't fit in the rack well. I literally put up with this shortcoming for 40 years.The Ernst rails addressed the shortcomings of my old rails by using a more space-efficient "N" pattern, and making the spacing proportional. I am using the plain, non-adhesive rails, and they seem plenty stable in my new US General Series 2 44" cabinet sitting on top of the nice drawer liner that comes standard with the box. The weight of the wrenches holds them in place just fine.Reading the reviews, I was concerned I may have clearance problems with some of my larger wrenches, but my SAE set goes up to 1 1/16, and it fit just fine. One reviewer mentioned using his Dremel to deepen the grooves, so I was prepared to do that if necessary because of the otherwise brilliant design of these rails.Some folks who posted negative reviews obviously didn't take the time to understand how these work. It's a shame because these really are a well thought-out and economical product.

okay

I needed a way to clean up and organize my wrench drawer. I found these and based on the reviews I gave it a chance. Having the ability to very neatly organize 40 wrenches is AWESOME. They fit in the rails great and seem pretty secure in there. They definitely aren't gonna fall out from opening and closing the drawer, yet there not stuck in there like on some organizers that come with wrench sets. The only reason I gave it 4 stars, IA because of the magnet on the bottom. It's very very weak. If you had these rails stuck right onto the metal of your drawer then it's fine, but like most people, I have drawer liners and the magnets just aren't strong enough to keep the rails nice and secure. On the plus side though, once you fill it up with a bunch of wrenches the weight will keep it all from moving, but if you only have like 5 wrenches in there, it gonna move or possibly even fall over. Overall though, great product and I highly recommend it.

I bought these to use in an older Snap On KRL773 box, and planned on using them for 1/4 to 1 1/8" standard and 6 to 25 millimeter combination wrenches in a 2 inch deep drawer. If they are going in a 3 inch or deeper drawer they will work great out of the box, even on larger wrenches such as an 1 1/4 inch combo. They are very tall and hold the wrenches high up. Unfortunately in a 2 inch drawer that height caused clearance issues with wrenches hitting the drawer above them on all sizes larger than 9/16". Since all the wrenches, even the 1 1/8 were still well above the bottom of the drawer I ended up taking my Dremel with a small sanding drum and grinding the notches deeper so the wrenches sat lower in the rail until I could close the drawer without the wrenches hitting the drawer above. I do like the spacing changing for the increasing wrench sizes. I ended up using some 3M double sided tape to hold them down.

Should be a 5 star product but..... They do work well for their intended purpose, you do have to work with placement in order to get them to stand up good and line up with the wrenches nicely aligned. You do have to be a little careful when closing the drawer, if you slam the drawer they can tip over scattering your wrenches. A wider base of some sort would greatly help this issue, they do tend to become more stable with more wrenches but as I said a wider base would be a fix all.There is a magnetic version but from what I have read they don't work well over drawer liners and I would rather have drawer liners. You could easily add the adhesive magnetic strips to these if you decided they were necessary.In the end they are worth the price, it should be noted I needed two sets to get them to fit the drawers the way I wanted them too and to fit the amount of wrenches I have. I feel it also doesn't make sense to have a rack with the larger wrenches in the front and smaller in the back as with two of the rails in this set so really two of the 4 rails are useless in my opinion.

I bought these REALLY hoping to be the perfect solution for two 10 piece gearwrench sets. There are 3 MAJOR problems with these rails. First, the small wrench end is too tight. What i mean is, thicker wrenches rub up on each other and don't sit all the way in the rack. Second, the angled design allows for tip-overs. Third, wrenches stick out above the holder, so the product dimensions don't really let you know if this will fit in your wrench drawer.1 amazing benefit is that these will hold half-moon and other twisty wrenches.

It doesn't exactly fit in my toolbox drawer, but then again, it's a cheapish Husky. I think because of that, and if I am opening/closing the drawer too quickly, they can sometimes fall over and the wrenches go everywhere.So minus one star.

At first, you think these weren't made correctly. They don't line up the way you'd think they would, esp compared to the other common competitor this product has.However, after you figure it out, the wrenches organize themselves well.The good is that this item's design allows evenly spaced and staggered wrenches without the heads or feet of the wrenches resting on the drawer bottom, raising the handle up off the organizer.The bad is that to get away with this a full set of wrenches will make a fan effect. They won't be in a straight, parallel row from smallest to biggest. Instead they'll fan out. Doesn't look at clean, but the wrenches are, I guess, better organized.

It comes with 4 of the railing, but I bought 2 sets for my needs. Very easy to adjust and organize your wrenches.If the rails is too long, you can cut it. I used mitre saw, and it was perfect. You can also probably use a heated knife to cut the plastic.

Works well. Got the basic model with no attachment option.Plastic that’s soft enough to modify without breaking using simple cutters, or a small tipped grinder, or you could always heat your wrench and allow it to melt into place if it’s too tall for your drawer. Standard safety measures should be taken for all above actions.The bottom is very smooth and slides easily. I used silicone to fasten them down to my smooth drawer, and 24 hours later it just slid out of place. I then used a knife to score the bottom of the holder in a very random, but shallow pattern in diagonal and straight directions, and applied silicone to it (only about the forward most 3” of the holder) and let it cure for 48 hours. It hasn’t moved since, even with my trainees slamming the drawer... again.Overall very happy with it. May pickup another set for a co-worker as well.

I originally ordered 2 sets thinking it would be enough but ended up needing 4 to organize my wrenches. These rails are worth every penny. I didn’t set them up as they are meant to be, I bought 2 sets so I could match rail lengths and save a little space in my drawers. I got all of my wrenches organized including a set up to 1-1/2” in 2.5” deep drawers. They are easy to cut to fit your specific sets which is nice, they do move if you slam the drawer but mine are not the tape or magnetic rails just standard, close the drawer normally and no issues on original liners

Pros: -great for organizing to your desired way -Divets for the wrenches are deep enough to not have them pop out, even in a rolling cart, which I use every single day. As long as you don't have them too spread out.Cons: -as much as the divets are deep enough for the wrenches, they could've lowered it a bit more. I have to put my bigger wrenches a couple of slots down to be able to shut my drawer. Leaving some spaces empty, I'll try to get a picture on here to show. But does the job still. - The magnets are ok for toolboxes that you aren't planning on moving a lot. To put it on my rolling cart, I had to put some glue at the bottom.

This product is not worth waisting your money on. Each one is different sizes. And they are broken when arrived. All four peace’s are different sizes and do not match. The magnet does not work at all.I am so disappointed :(. So I don’t recommend anyone to buy this product at all
