I really enjoy your personal opinion on using products and functions. Searching for a socket organizer is one an overwhelming endeavor. This definitely helped me!
Thank you I greatly appreciate that and I hope you find something you enjoy.
I love Ernst. I have all my sockets on the hi-viz rails, two bit bosses, and the vertical plier organizers too. They all work very well for me.
Very nice and I completely agree!!!
Hey Tony! Always look forward to your videos! Have a good one.
Hey I appreciate that. Thanks for watching and commenting
I went with westling for all my socket sets and absolutely love them.
Very nice. That's awesome to hear!!!
Thank you Tony for your comparison review of these two products. I am still in the research phase of my tool organization. I build ham radio antennas, many of which are 30+ feet in length. I use a rolling chair to back and forth the length. Many of them are either Japanese or American made. So I need both metric and SAE sockets. I also have JIS tools for some of the Japanese attachments. I put my tools and supplies for the particular project in a rolling tool cart. Back and forth I go along the antenna, making the appropriate attachments. At first, I was just setting the tools inside the cart. There was no organization for sockets and such. I also wanted a way to not waste time when I was finished and putting sockets and such back into the blow mold case when I took them out or put them away. I am choosing the Ernst over the Wesling. I like the clean lines of the Wesling. But it wouldn't be good for bringing it in an out of the chest and into the cart without tipping things over. I love the Ernst because it is adaptable and modular. I can have the tools at hand and take them back and forth without dropping or losing things. I can even have a tray just for the project I am working on and I can easily take it outside when I put the antenna on the temp pole for testing and calibrating. I am going to start out small in my purchase and then go from there, adding as I go along. I have seen your previous videos and I tucked it away in my mind for when I was ready to organize my stuff.
Maybe studs/ pegs?
good review. I like the ernst . 1/2 deep well sockets will stand up in us general boxes swith any vertical socket organizers. Keep the videos coming .
Thank you!! Will do
Great video as always man. I Appreciate you!
Thank you. I appreciate that!!
TEKTON sponsored much? 😂. Hoodie. Hat in the background. Big ol’ banner too! (Top right at the beginning of the video).
Nooooice! 💪🏻. Get it! 💯🙌🏻
Lol that would be cool but no. I actually got this stuff at the PRI show back in 2017 so no not sponsored. 💪
I have both. I put all my 3/8 impacts on Westling and 1/4 chrome on magnetic Gearwrench rails. Pretty much all my 3/8 chromes are on Ernest.
Very nice!!! 👍
I used to have the cheep plastic peg organizers harbor freight. got fed up with the plastic pegs breaking all the time (they get really brittle in the heat and cold of my garage). went with the Ernst socket boss and i have never looked back. they are excellent at socket retention. I have dropped the entire tray a few time and only had 1 or 2 sockets come loose.
Very nice and I know exactly what you mean. I have dealt with that in the past as well and have been very pleased with the Ernst. I'm really glad to hear you feel the same
My 3/8 Capri impacts are on Westling rails, I love how they look but I hate how I can't just see what size it is. The Ernst socket boss just seems like it takes up a ton of space, like foam does. I honestly can't stray from the classic plastic pegs. They keep things tight and close, are cheap, and you can always easily see what size they are.
I call 'em posts. Not sure if that's what the manufacturer calls them. Great video Tony. I need better organization for my sockets and this video has helped me.
Haha ya I was about to call them a different name every time. Very nice. I'm really glad you enjoyed
VIM mag rails are the bees knees. JB tools is the best place to get them
Great video Tony! I have both and I prefer the westling tray. But I’m also a little OCD and can’t stand to break up a socket set so I don’t have much desire to customize my socket rails
Thank you and I understand
I love my Westling Sockets Trays - makes life/jobs easier. I call them index pins, not sure what they are called, but I am missing 1/4 impact sockets - 1/8, 5/32 (Deep) - my OCD wont let me stop searching for them. They stay in place if you need to transport to a job site, I take whole set and toss in trunk and sockets stayed on pins and none came out, but this is on paved roads, not on dirt roads
I have the cheap "peg type" sold by HF and others. I can get the full Metric and SAE 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 to fit in the top of my tool chest. They are fragile. They should stay in the box only. They do make it very quick to put everything back in order. I also have a three drawer mechanics seat for my motorcycle tools and keep a 1/4" metric socket set and ratchet and other common tools for working on the motorcycles. I have the Ernst rails used their. I am more on the Advanced DIY home level.
Been liking Capri mid length on Ernst rail in my pack out
Very nice. Glad to hear it
I had Hansen trays years ago and the deep pegs hit every drawer except the bottom 2 so I cut them down. It worked and you could see the size on the shallow pegs but it bothered me enough to replace them with the harbor freight set
Ya I know what you mean. I've seen that before
I have some Westling trays and I like them overall, the size engraving they put on them doesn't line up with the sockets and they are not nearly as legible as they should be, so not so easy to read. One other nice thing about the Westlings too is you can get the 2-rail, or 3-rail in standard sizes (such as Metric 8mm-19mm), and you can get the 2-rail in extended sizes.
Yes that's very true. Great points
Nice helpful video
Thank you
Pegs or posts.🤣
I prefer the westling style. I just made a bunch of diy westling knock offs. Not as quality as westling, but exactly what I want. I even made a video about them. The westlings are very space efficient and easy to grab a socket.
Lmao it's like I was having a stroke trying to think of the name for the pegs, studs, posts, stubs lol. Very nice. That's awesome
Wish I bought a two row westling back when I had a chance
Ya I wish I would have bought more of them back in the day
The ernst/tekton does have some wasted space with the trays but I still prefer them as the rails dont fall over in the drawer,the versatility of being able to put different sizes on same rail and you can grab a rail and head under the car. I dont recommend the stickers either especially once you get to the larger sockets you can't see them anyway. Thanks for another great video!
Absolutely agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well
Hello again Tony
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 If my memory is correct. You have the Toolbox Widgets version as well. Can you do a review of the different organizers? I am researching for my next purchase. I need to be able maximize my tool box space. Again thank you
Absolutely thank you. 👍
I have the old harbor freight socket trays. I'm looking for a better socket organization. I think I may get a few of those Ernst ones. I think it might save a little space in my new box
Oh nice. Ya I switch like 6 years ago and have been very happy
Got a question for regarding a 1986 IROC Z door hinge dent roller pin? How can you remove it,with heat or try to freeze it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Those Westling trays look beautiful, but they are way expensive here in the UK, they have to be ordered direct from the company. The Ernst Socket Boss trays are easier to get hold of and a lot more affordable - I bought three sets. I was pleased with how strong the rails and clips are, considering that they're plastic, and it seems like a well thought-out design overall. The only things I don't like so much are that I ended up with loads of 1/2" clips that I'll never use, and yeah, the size stickers don't look like they'll last.
Oh ya that's understandable with westling being a little pricey. And ya I agree with the Ernst. I ended up ordering more 1/4 and 3/8 and had alot of 1/2 left over.
@@TonyTheTechnician I need to put my 1/2" clips on eBay, and let them go to someone who'll use them.
Capri has not had the trays in stock all summer. Picked up the deWalt 3/8" impact and picked up Capri Deep, Semi-deep, Shallow and stubby. The stubby came withe the foam tray. But the aluminum trays are out of stock
Westling had supply chain issues with the raw material (aluminum).
They canceled my order for a 3-row tray. 😢
Hey tony! Let’s replace stubs with pegs !
Lmao right. I had about 5 different names in my head for them.
Nice video!
I call those "stubs", posts. :)
Lmao I think that's what I was looking for 🤣👍
Hey Tony, i thought, tho i dont know WHY.. that it was Standard that Red was SAE murkin, and Blue was metric "those people" Everywhere. im trying to think of a brand that uses anything else, my paint markers which i use on tools ive had for YEARS, in fact i was touchin up an old set of craftsman SAE and i think i first marked them Red in the 90s
Haha yes indeed I believe you are correct. That's how I've always seen them
🔥🔥🔥
👍👍👍
Great video - thanks for posting. Did you find a solution for the stickers coming off? I am thinking putting on a dab of superglue.
Thank you. I realized after about 2 weeks of using these rails that I really don't look at the sticker anyways so I wasn't worried about it
The westlings are great. But they just dont have a lot of different options.
Ya it would be nice I they have more options
I call them posts
Haha OK cool.
Would call them socket locators. Lol
I literally felt your brain misfiring, lol... I'd go with, "posts."
Lmao that's exactly what was happening 😂 🤣
STUBBS
🤣👍🤣
Post
Peg
Ummmm, stud???
Lol as soon as I was done recording I literally thought of like 5 other names haha
