As expected, excellent quality

For use in a tool box, just need something to hold the tools/sockets. That's more than enough. The magnet is strong and reliable. Everything is neat, I have not used a set that would be more complete. Made in America, if you are unsatisfied contact the manufacturer / Revain, they will make you happy. cheap rf tool box and the magnet didn't hold up that well, then i put it in something that cost $50 and it stuck like it was welded on. It is difficult to lose weight and will not come off soon.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Has issues

The best organizer I've ever had.

I've been looking for a good outlet organizer for a long time and couldn't take my eyes off this one, so I gave it a try. Despite the mixed reviews, some saying it feels cheap or the sockets don't stay in place, I haven't had any issues. My tools are mixed craftsmen and the fasteners on the sockets fit perfectly! Solid, they don't move at all and love being taken off the pole. All sizes fit well. My only complaint is that I wish the magnet was a little stronger. I had to cut the tool box liner…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Weight

need work for hand tools

As another reviewer noted, twist lock retainers don't work as well with smaller heads. I had particular problems with almost all 1/4" heads and many smaller 3/8" heads. There seem to be major differences between each holder, as some are simple and some are very complex. Looks like it's a wrestling match that turns her on and off. And inserting or removing a socket is almost always done with two hands. The rails are too loose on the bases and they often pop out when I don't want them to. For…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • No performance

Poor quality, looks cheap and doesn't hold together properly.

I found this Ernst product unacceptable. Cheap plastic magnetic tape will not stick to any metal surface. Forget if you have a liner in your tool box. It doesn't even look like a magnetic clutch. The entire set comes loose when mated with a full set of sockets and the shells do not lock well in the support block. It doesn't matter that there are no mounts in the latest support?!? This whole set is plastic, looks cheap and doesn't work properly for me. I returned it immediately for a full…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Poor instructions

The best I've found!

This is the most versatile outlet management system I've found. I love that you can only buy clamps if you need more discs of a certain size. It's definitely plastic, but it feels solid, especially when left in your toolbox. Other accessories for ratchets and extensions also work very well. As already mentioned, the magnets are very weak. This is the only thing keeping me from a 5 star rating. To get around this, I simply bought some Revain earth magnets and glued them to the bottom of each…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Clarity

Seven years later: Hand tool

I bought this set when I bought a brand new tool box in February 2014. It is now November 2020. After almost seven years of daily use as an aircraft mechanic I have a lot of experience with this outlet organizer and I can confidently say that this is an excellent product. It's simple, made of good materials, durable and works as advertised. Not a single part broke or failed. The locking function is reliable, it keeps things tidy and I can see all my sockets at a glance. If I have one complaint…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Speed

What I need is the best of hand tools

(This item was purchased and tested by the account holder's husband.) I organized my new workshop and installed a Wall Control slotted metal panel. I wanted something where I could fit all my connectors on the board so they were easy to reach and I didn't have to find the right size. It worked great. Since the mounts are magnetic it sits firmly on the board (although I used two hooks to make sure it didn't slide off) but it's easy to remove the "stand" with sockets when attaching the kit got…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some difficulty
