I like the extruded aluminum rails with the magnets on the bottom and the customizable socket holders. Harbor freight sells black ones under the US general brand, and not only does SK tools sell the same things except in dark metallic green, they also sell packs of spare socket holders. SK also sells them in half lengths which is really handy.
The Weslings are Awesome, I've had them for 4 years, have used the heck out of them and they look brand new. I didn't need the markings. I use them enough I can tell you what size they are just by looking at the socket. Organization is so much easier.
I went with the Ernst system after watching one of your earlier videos and have been really happy with them. My only complaint was standard twist lock pegs don’t work as well with impact sockets, but found out that Ernst makes an HD replacement peg that’s friction fit, which works way better for getting impact sockets on and off easily.
Very nice glad your enjoying and I guess I haven't noticed any issues with my impact sockets but that other friction peg is good to know about. Thank you!!
I use the westling but you were right on the engraving. OCD kicked in but wasn’t to bad because got to order a lot of different brands to fill in those empty spots.
What tekton impact do you have i have the westling trays and I have the 1/2 tekton impact i think they are the older set but yeah my sae fit on the tray perfect but my metric set won't fit right i have to split them up but my 3/8 &1/4 tekton chrome set fit fine on the trays just have a problem with the metric impact set
@@tylerpearce2891 I thought I had tekton 1/2 but I just went and double-checked and my 1/2 are actually mastercraft! Only the 3/8 are tekton. Now I did order mine without the labels because I had heard of this similar issue so without the labelling, you can stagger them differently. My largest isn't on the tray and I have 2 13mm instead. Wish youtube would let you post photos in replies.
@@JeepingNet i got mine without the labels also I have learned to live with it lol but good to know its a common thing I like the trays regardless I will buy more for sure they make my hobo freight cart look good lol
If you ever remake this video you should show a the picture much longer of the product you are talking about, the whole time you are talking of the features it would be nice to see the organizer.
I also use the Ernst Socket Boss organizers. they work fantastic. i switched from the Hansen style peg organizers because they are just not very durable. i was always dealing with broken pegs on my deep and impact sockets and dome times the peg does not stick up high enough on deep sockets. I am a DIY mechanic / Old Car restorer, My husky box doesn't have the soft close drawers so if you shot one a little too hard they can break after time, also my garage is not air conditioned and i found out the pegs get brittle in the summer heat in the desert heat of the south west. when i decided to switch from Hansen i looked at a lot of different styles, The one thing that won me over to Ernst was the fact that the rail was removeable from the tray, and if you accidently drop a tray or knock it off your work bench or tool cart, the sockets wont fly all over. you may loose one or two but the majority will stay on the rail. i also like the fact they have the stickers to label the sockets on the tray. they have save me untold hours of searching for the right sockets.
good video. got rid of the steel strip and went to the kobalt similar to texton. Like being able to have (4) 10 mm on the same rail, or (4) 1/2 or 9/16 sockets on the same rail all next to each other.
I use the Hanson type, mostly but I have a great deal of duplicates! I have 5 different brands in sockets from years of companies that ditched customer service or gone out of business entirely!
@TonyTheTechnician ~ This is another great video, but I really would've liked to actually see you using the socket trays that you bought for your boxes. Yes, you separated one "row" of sockets out of your Tekton Socket Boss system, which was very helpful to witness, but I was sitting here waiting for you to pull and/or add sockets to your organizer...and you never did it! Why would anyone care about this? Well, the reason I went with the Olsa Tools Magnetic Organizers you featured herein is the fact that the sockets are very easy to pull and/or add sockets from/to. I also like the fact that one can grab a set and not have to worry about them flying all over the garage floor, but the ease of actual day-to-day practical use is what did it for me. Anyway, if it's just as easy to use your Tekton organizers, kindly let me know. I've previously subscribed, so please keep up the informative video work. 👍
I have a set of the HANSONS...I like them ...only thing is even some of my chrome sockets in 1/2 dont fit over the wide part on the bottom of the stem....I had to use die grinder and make that part smaller for the socket to reach the base tray like their supposed to....great rack though for the price...I've had them close to 20 years now
Absolutely love them!!! The ernst plastic ones I have are also usa made. But I absolutely love the westling rails. If I ever switch it will be to those 👍👍👍
I use different socket holders for different reasons. I like mechanics timesaver for 3/8 and 1/4 drive, vim mag rails in my roll cart for 1/2 drive and special sockets, and westling socket holders in my 54" snap on box for the other 1/2 drive sockets I don't use every day. I don't like the mechanic timesaver 1/2 drive, I have some that came in a kit on sale and use them at home.
I went with the Harbor Freight socket trays for my chrome sockets and the Hansen brand for my impact sockets.Nice to see your socket size indicated for each socket.
I have both the Westling and Tekton socket organizers. Both are great, but the Westling has the edge when it comes to appearance, and being anodized aluminum, will last a long as the sockets.
Worthy of note, each time you say "takes up more/less space" you seem to only reference footprint, on the assumption of unlimited vertical real estate. Horizontal trays can let you use a much shallower drawer and save a deeper drawer for something that really needs it.
The olsa socket rails with the ball detent in different brands also have 3/4" drive available. I myself have the Matco tool grid and that is my favorite and most customizable out of anything on the market today imo
Those Tekton ones look pretty well thought out. They are a little on the pricey side, but the guarantee is unbeatable (and they actually honor it). If you're buying new sockets, you can get sets from Tekton that come on the rails with the trays that drop the cost to being pretty much a no brainer. My own solution since I'm going to be getting a 3D printer will be to print my own along the same lines as the Olsa trays only 3 tiered. I rarely need more than a few sockets at a time so there's not much reason to worry about taking a whole tray out and I can always use a spring style rail if I need more than that. I get the OCD thing. I'd rather buy a no gap set even knowing I'd never use a few of the sizes than have some obviously missing.
Absolutely thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate your input on the topic. And yq buying the tekton set with the rails will definitely save some money. Good thinking !! 👍
I have 3 of those olsa trays, two with green clips for my sae, one with black clips for my torx and two oem tools trays that are exactly the same but green with black clips, actually cost $60 each in Canada, so $300 total, I could have gotten the ernst for $160 total but I dont like red or blue, and didn't want identical green for both sae and metric, they perfectly fill the top of my monster tool cart and I pull out the two metrics often when I go to kenny youpull, they are very tough, I did break one clip but it was also -25°C
Keeping the videos alive.... Quick question. How do you feel about the peg style organizers? They seem like they are usually really affordable, one of the most space saving and convenient with the size labeling on the top of the peg.... I have seen some on Amazon that are even cheaper then what harbor freight has to offer and offer more trays for less money. I think one of them is the one you showed on here for a moment.
Ya a few of mine did the same thing. Most of them stayed but I had to hold them on for a little bit. It was kind of irritating but not to big of a deal lol 👍
I wish that Olsa Tool holder had a simple durable plastic case designed for it . It's a nice system but it's not designed for something you could put in a tool box & toss into the back of a vehicle, if you did that then the sockets will go everywhere. The idea is that you would put the holder & sockets inside a case, close a lid and the sockets may jostle around but the sockets will stay inside of the holders for when you open up the case once more. You could trip & fall down a stairs but the sockets would be nicely contained & organized. I like the labels because it lets you quickly drop the sockets in the right spot after you've collected a bunch into a plastic bin.
I have #1 for 1/4 and #2 for 3/8 and commonly used 1/2 in my cart (both kobalt) then mostly the harbor freight trays in my main box. They work for me but I’m always looking at different options. I’d like to try westling and vim magrails.
It seems to me that storing deep sockets on their side could save room if they were kept in a shallow drawer and if more drawers were available because of the use of shallow drawers.
Hello again Tony Thank you for the Great Video. I hope you are looking ahead to January 2021 and Toolbox Widget announcement of there Socket Organizer and Plier Organizer. It might be a game changer. Overall, another Great Video. Thank you
I just thread a rope through all of my sockets it's perfect because you can cut the rope to whatever length you need and if you're going somewhere just tie the two ends together so the sockets don't fall out
Hey Tony When you opened first drawer what brand was your ratchet organizer ?look like a type of UVA foam, and also brand of ratchets ? They both looked really nice.
Got it on Amazon. Now they have all sorts of them in different sizes. At the time I bought mine they were expensive and only like 2 people made them. I did a video on it and shared dimensions so others could save money and make it themselves. It's a power tool holder or organizer 👍
Don’t know if you’ll reply but if I get the tekton tray the one you have on Amazon will it come with stickers for the numbers or not because in the description it doesn’t mention stickers
That's a good question. I would message them about it and see. I ordered mine from Ernst long before tekton was selling them so I'm not sure if they include them or not. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
You mentioned twist lock but what you showed wasn't the twist lock by Mechanic's Time save, arguably the best socket holders available. What I have done is bought all 1/2 drive rails and then put the 3/8th and 1/4 pegs on them since you can buy them by the bag. I also have Snap-On's version which is labeled and I put those every 3rd rail in a row then it is easy to tell your socket sizes. One of the many advantages to this system ( I have all magnetic ones) id that when a socket is twist locked you can use that one socket to pick up the whole rail. Since they are not on the tray with the handle I can fir a lot more sockets in a lot less space and still tell what ones are which.
It was super annoying I had to go around and press and hold each one for a few seconds multiple times. Then still some of them would pop up. I ended up finding it easier to cut the stickers in half which prevents them from lifting up. But truthfully I don't even look at the stickers anymore
Hey Tony nice post, the 1/4 drive sockets have to be organized or its just a mess. I keep my 3/8 some on a inexpensive rack and the ones i use the most not on a rack and the same with my half inch drive.
I used them all. The Ko-ken magnetic rails are the best... They stay put and hold the sockets very good.. Only draw back. There always sold out.. You have to build your own from the rail and clips you want. Which is one other reason I like them. You can add 1/4" and 3/8" clips on the same rail. Hell even the 1/2" filled to capacity stays put to what ever you stick it too...
I LIKE THE 26 SLOT LAY DOWN IN RED THAT YOU DON'T LIKE {SHOWN IN BLACK}. ALLOWS ME TO HAVE STD AND DEEP ON SAME RAIL. ENGRAVE THE SIZE DOWN THE CENTER AND FILL IN WITH BLACK SHARPIE. EASY ID OF SIZES PLUS WHEN IN USE AT THE CAR I STAND THE SOCKETS UP IN THE SLOTS AS I USE THEM. THIS SHOWS ME THE SIZES I'VE USED ON DISASSEMBLY WHEN I REASSEMBLE THE JOB. NO NEED FOR SIZE CHECKING. COULD MAYBE DO THE SAME WITH PIN TYPE OR MAG RAILS BY TURNING THEM UPSIDE DOWN WHEN USING ON DISASSEMBLY TO AID ON REASSEMBLY.
Does the Ernst have the twist lock of just snap on? What about Toolbox Widget organizers?? The major drawback is you can not remove and take the set with you like a rail or drop on organizer. Crows feet and long Allen sockets are a tough. The allen are too tall to fit standing up in the socket drawer and the crows feet I have metric and Standard on the same rail, alternating. So all metric face the left and Std the right alternating std, met, std, met and so on.
I been a big fan of the westling socket organizers. Yes they cost more, but they are going to outlast most $5 - $15 plastic organizers on the market anyways so it's worth. By the way, Hows that husky tool box been holding up? I'm not sure if you made a "Long Term" review yet for the tool box already.
@@TonyTheTechnician I meant random as in not pertaining to this video. I find if the links are pertinent it is more helpful. At least consider adding links to products you suggest in addition to what other links you may consider helpful. Anyway thanks for the video.
Do you have an opinion on the VIM magrail? I think they are the best, the down side is that I think they are very expensive, These rails are fully customizable as far as spacing and they really hold the sockets even upside down. One can makeup whatever components should be included or excluded. I wonder when the patent expires if anybody will start to make them to compete with VIM, Please let me know what you think.

Vin mag rails for the win🙌🏼 I’m still saving up to get them but they’re going to be worth it
The Westling machine trays are the best there is. I've got them for all my chrome and impact sockets and they all fit great.
Very nice!!!!

Haha ya if I ever switch to the westling I'll have to get the non engraved version.
thank you I have been trying to organize and cant decide what to use
Thabk you. Glad you enjoyed

You should look up the ARES SOCKET VAULT. It's an aluminum socket rail system with trays that lock in up to 3 rails.
100% agree on the Ernst, love mine.

Suprised to not see tool grid on this line up. Pretty popular, and really legit for socket storage.

By the way, Hows that husky tool box been holding up? I'm not sure if you made a "Long Term" review yet for the tool box already.
Agreed. Those westing rails are amazing!!!! And it's been doing good. I'll do an update on the box soon bc it has changed over the years
New sub to your channel...great channel

You should see your face when you intod the weistling's. (You just lit up lol)

Standing takes a lot of height room. Only works in tall drawers.

Instead of all those random affiliate links why not link the stuff you suggested in your video?
They aren't random affiliate links. They are all products I have done reviews on and suggest. All my newer videos have it all condensed into one link.
@@TonyTheTechnician I meant random as in not pertaining to this video. I find if the links are pertinent it is more helpful. At least consider adding links to products you suggest in addition to what other links you may consider helpful. Anyway thanks for the video.
Do you have an opinion on the VIM magrail? I think they are the best, the down side is that I think they are very expensive, These rails are fully customizable as far as spacing and they really hold the sockets even upside down. One can makeup whatever components should be included or excluded. I wonder when the patent expires if anybody will start to make them to compete with VIM, Please let me know what you think.
I’m jealous that’s custom
Second
