Husky 1/4 in. Swivel Magnetic Socket Rail

Husky ¼” Swivel Magnetic Socket Rail Item #1005 001 210Enjoy having all those small ¼” sockets rolling around in your tool box? I do not. I selected the Husky line of Swivel Magnetic Socket rails to provide some increased organization. This line of rails have a magnetic base covered in neoprene-like material as a non-marring surface protectant.The ¼” rail studs are color coded orange for quick visual identification. The rail itself measures 14 ½” in length and has 14 individual studs to accommodate standard or deep sockets. The studs rotate 360 degrees and can be spatially positioned at any desired spot on the rail, thus permitting a custom organization of your sockets. The studs utilize a spring loaded ball bearing for the retaining mechanism for each socket. A drawback on the design is the inability to add additional studs to the rail for those few extra sockets beyond 14.The unit filled quickly with just one SAE set of common sized sockets of both options. I will need to purchase a second rail for the metric set. Perhaps I will have to purchase a third to insure sufficient space for all of the small adapter sockets rolling around in the tool tray.Country of origin, Taiwan.

The HUSKY ¼” SWIVEL MAGNET SOCKET RAIL is a terrific space saving, organizational piece of equipment. The hard plastic construction made me question its ruggedness at first. But once my sockets were in place and I held the rail in my hand at one end to test the rail’s buoyancy it did not bend or bow. The magnetic strip embedded into the bottom of the rail is a great feature for storage in or on the side of your tool box, and for keeping the rail stationary on your automobile while you’re working under the hood. It also fits perfectly in the drawer of my tool box and will not slide around. Note: the display hang tag that is put on the rail by the manufacturer before it ships to the retailer can easily be removed with an ice pick instead of snipping the tiny teensy plastic locking tabs.

I love it, clean and organized, looks great, easy to remove from my toolbox and take it in my tool bag. I wish one of two things though. It would be nice if either the ends were removable to allow more of the socket slide things to be added or simply that it came with more in the rail. Being for 1/4″ driver theres no reason they cant fit more as it is the same size as the 3/8″ and 1/2″ driver rails

Great for keeping organized and finding the right socket.

This is something my husband has been looking for. A place to put all his sockets and not have them lost so easily. Having the swivel magnetic socket rail magnetic is a great idea. The rail sits on our metal shelving, which thankfully, does not fall off. The various sockets stay intact as well, so bravo for this magnetic socket rail! Too easy to lose sockets if you do not have this socket rail.
