Been working on trying to reorganize the tool boxes lately. Picked up a
set of the so called "space saver" wrench rails from Ernst to try - the
6014m specifically (red - black is 6015m), with magnetic bases.
Ernst is very vague about dimensions. Turns out the rails are two
different lengths - one long, one short. There's some suggestion that
the long rail can be placed at various angles to allow for different
lengths of wrench. This is just not true - the short rail must be at 90
degrees, and the long rail must be at an angle I didn't measure - if you
change this relationship, the wrench slots no longer align, and your
wrenches are crooked....
The other major point - these rails are NOT designed to fit/work in the shallow (2") drawers, they are too tall, and the wrenches sit too high (even the small wrenches hit the drawer above.
I spent some time hacking on them and it basically works out that you'd have to cut -every single slot- deeper, and trim the top off the entire unit to safely fit it in a shallow drawer.
As for the magnets - dont waste your time. They're not even powerful enough to hold the rails steady directly on the steel drawer bottoms - much less through a drawer liner.
Overall thoughts? For my needs, a big waste of time and money. Since they require a deep drawer, they're not a space saver for me. I can't even use them in the overflow/spare drawers, since they're not flexible enough to hold more than 1-2 of the same size wrench.
