Ernst Manufacturing Socket Boss 3-Rail 19" Socket Organiser Tray — Green, 57 Twist-Lock Clips, Fits 1/4"-1/2" Drives

The Ernst Manufacturing Socket Boss is a 19-inch, three-rail socket organizer tray with 57 twist-lock clips that secures SAE and Metric sockets for drawer, bench, or mobile storage.

Keep your sockets orderly, transportable, and easy to find with a system built for customization. The Socket Boss tray accepts three removable universal rails and a mix of 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive sockets. Twist-lock clips hold sockets by the drive end so tools stay in place during travel, and the rails snap into the tray for a compact footprint that fits drawers, tool carts, or a workbench shelf.

How does the twist-lock system prevent socket loss?

The patented twist-lock clips clasp the socket by its drive, securing it against accidental drops and upside-down movement. Each clip twists to lock and requires a purposeful action to release, so sockets remain in place whether stored horizontally or carried vertically.

• Includes 57 twist-lock clips: 22 for 1/4" drive, 18 for 3/8" drive, 17 for 1/2" drive
• Sockets load drive-end down so locking engages reliably
• Clips resist vibration and movement during transport

Can I rearrange the rails and clips to match my socket collection?

Yes — the three socket rails are removable and interchangeable so you can mix drive sizes, swap colors, or configure the tray for your most-used sockets. Push-button locks hold rails in place and release them quickly when you need a different layout or want to carry a single rail.

• Three universal rails let you separate SAE and Metric or group by drive size
• Rails snap into the tray and unlock with a simple push button
• Empty clip slots allow adding or removing clips as your set changes

How does this tray save space and improve portability?

The Socket Boss is a compact organizer that stores a large mixed socket set within a 19.75" by 5.3" by 1.35" footprint. Built-in end handles make the tray easy to grab for jobsite transport, while secure clips and locked rails keep everything together for travel.

• Full length 19-inch rail capacity in a slim, drawer-friendly profile
• Handles at each end for easy carry and quick removal from drawers
• Secure clips and locked rails prevent tools from shifting during transit

What accessories and extras are included with the tray?

The package comes ready to use with all clips, rails, and identification stickers needed to set up and label your sockets. Color recommendations make it simple to separate SAE from Metric, and the kit supports a wide variety of socket styles and brands.

• One tray, three universal socket rails, and 57 twist-lock clips
• I.D. stickers included for clear socket size labeling
• Recommended color scheme: red for SAE, blue for Metric (suggested by Ernst)

If you want secure transport, fast socket access, and a customizable layout that adapts as your collection grows, this American-made tray fits in drawers, on benches, or in tool bags while keeping sockets organized and accounted for.
