Ernst Manufacturing 18-Inch Socket Organizer with 18 3/8-Inch Twist Lock Clips, Red (8401-Red-3/8)

Easy to use, like the twist lock.

I recently received this as a gift from my Amazon wish list. I had been out in the garage one day tinkering on the miss's car and reached into my toolbox for a 9/16 socket. 5 minutes and 25 sockets later, I found what I was after and started to work. Then I needed another size and the cycle repeated itself. In my socket drawer alone, there are about 350 sockets laying on top of each other, and things are just a general mess. I decided that my time spent looking for tools could be better spent on getting the task at hand completed and put this lovely set on my wish list.The day I got it, my rolling toolbox was emptied of its contents and the massive re-organization commenced. All of my sockets got thrown in the tumbler and polished up and shortly after found homes in order by size and grouped by drive. I purchased several extra socket holders to handle everything I had in the box. Next up were the wrenches. I filled up every slot on both wrench organizers and still had some left over, but no worries, they were mostly 1" and up which I just lay flat in my bottom drawer with hammers and whatnot. The only thing in this set that I really did not like was the screwdriver organizer. Maybe I'm just not using it correctly, but I cannot seem to logically fit all my screwdrivers in any organized fashion in this set. With that exception, this is a spectacular organization utility for the money and I would recommend it to anyone with a cluttered toolbox.Since the organization, I have used my box another 5-7 times working on the vehicles and I get what I need right away and that saves me time. If you've read any of my other reviews, time is money!Pros:InexpensiveSaves a TON of time!ConsNone really. Even the screwdriver organizer is inadmissible.

I have several of these that I have been using now for almost a year. I purchased them to replace the steel rails that I have at work. So far I am quite pleased with the product.I service everything from boats to golf carts as well as large hoists and an ice plant. The steel rails were rusting and some of the clips made it difficult to remove the sockets.These rails have all plastic construction. Additional clips are available for extentions and rachets (which I have added). They also have trays for the rails as well as magnetic clips to hold them in a tool box.The rails come in different lengths with worked out well for my "portable" box (this is a loose term as the box with tools weighs in at around 200 lbs). The only complaint would be that the trays take up too much room in the box and the lengths of the rails don't quite work with a couple of the tool cabinets/chests that I have (there ends up being a lot of waisted space, but that was the same with the old metal rails).Seeing as I keep ordering more I would deinitely recomend them, especiallly if you work in a damp/wet/corrosive environment.

Very happy with this purchase, have never bought nor seen at a store so the purchase was sort of like buying blind. BUT wow do these things lock onto the socket. Have very large sockets on them, 24mm to 39 being the largest, they hold them very firm and do not let them fall off. The only downfall is when placing such large heavy sockets on this rail that the rail will bend if you do not support it while lifting the rail up with the heavy sockets on it. I can not fault it on that though, just letting the reader know that it locks great but will flex with very large sockets placed on it. Most of the people using this item will most likely just place a set up to 19mm on it, and that should be okay for you. Garb the socket twist it from 12 noon to about 2 pm and the lock is then disengaged letting you raise the socket off the rail, same with placing the socket back on, place down onto black knob, slight twist and the socket is now secure. You can then lift the whole rail up, move it with you to another location and not have to worry about the sockets falling off, No metal parts to rust, and it should last years as long as you do not abuse it, or drop it repeatedly.

I like the twist lock feature and that the clips and rail are strong enough to hold and be carried without breaking. I like that this is not a piece of Oriental made junk. This one works as advertised! I can see myself organizing my toolbox with this company's products but little by little as that can get quite expensive.
