Ernst Mfg. 8493 RD Socket Boss Tray: High-Density 3/8-Inch Drive, 2 Red Rails, 28 Twist-Lock Clips, Made in USA

Product Overview

Maximize configuration possibilities with the Ernst Socket Boss Tray, a high-density storage system designed for practical, real-world use. This modular tray supports a customizable socket organization routine: rails can be removed or swapped, socket clips can be added or removed, and socket sizes can be labeled with I.D. stickers. Whether tucked into a drawer, perched on a workbench, or carried on the go, this compact system makes a surprisingly large socket set easier to access and transport. The design emphasizes quick reach, secure retention, and adaptable layouts that respond to changing tool collections.

Two universal rails arrive with the tray, complemented by 28 twist-lock clips that secure sockets during movement. The clips lock sockets firmly in place even when the tray is upside down, and each rail locks into the tray for added security during transport. The rail including its full length of 13 inches can be loaded with sockets, allowing you to maximize capacity without increasing the footprint. In addition, color coding is supported through the recommended use of red for SAE and blue for Metric, helping you distinguish sizes at a glance.

What You Can Customize

• Adjust the socket lineup by adding or removing twist-lock clips to fit your set.
• Swap drive sizes or add ratchet and extension holders for a tailored toolkit.
• Label socket sizes with I.D. stickers for fast identification.
• Trade colors or keep a consistent color scheme to separate SAE from Metric at a glance.
• Remove or reposition rails to suit drawer, bench, or on-the-go storage needs.
