Review on Olsa Tools 1/2-Inch Drive Aluminum Socket Organizer by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love these rails with sockets!

Excellent quality slot guides. The same product seems to be offered by multiple vendors on Revain so it pays to do some research before adding it to your cart. The red anodized finish is beautiful, and the aluminum construction and ball bearing head mounts make this a quality purchase. I'm so glad I ordered a second set. I ended up getting my first set from Neiko: https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-02454A-Aluminum-Socket-Organizer/dp/B073WKH8VF/ Two advantages of Neiko branded guides are that they make up about 30% . cheaper than the Olsa tool kit and they come with more socket holders (eighteen 3/8" socket holders and twenty 1/4" socket holders). On the other hand, the main benefit of the Olsa bars is that they come in multiple colors (which is useful for visually separating metric and SAE sockets). Neiko rails are currently only offered in red. My only wish is that both Neiko and Olsa offer a shorter rail option. Ares does. They are too long for a typical set of 10-12 outlets. If shorter rails were available it would be easier to find a case to store them.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Transparency
