    Excellent suggestion on applying mag tape on the bottom of Olsa rails. This should end up half the price of the Ares/Harbor Freight magnetic rails. Thanks, that's exactly what I will do.

    I've never been a fan of crow's feet on a socket rails due to the amount of space they take up but your placement of the with a magnet so you put on the side of the drawer is a great idea. 👍

    A good way to store crowsfeet sockets are to get ya a piece of 3/8" key stock and cut it a little longer than ya need for all your crows feet. Then take a file and put a notch on each end and use an o-ring on the ends to keep em in place.

    Honestly, I have only ever used a "Crows Foot" once or twice and both times were on brake lines coming off of a distribution block where I couldn't get on the fitting with a line wrench or socket of any kind. With that I had to use the crows foot with an extension to break it loose to the point that I could get it with my fingers then I used it again to tighten the fitting when the new line was replaced. They do have their place but you are correct, they are very far and few between.

    Crows feet are for torqueing things you can't get a socket onto. We use them all the time in aviation. Think jam-nuts on control rods, flare fittings, cable turnbuckles, things like that.

    • @MontanaMetal

  • @garyradtke3252
    @garyradtke3252 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have had situations that only crows feet will work. I have one that I think is 3.5" for getting transducer nuts in bilges and I use smaller ones for some other situations that a wrench just won't work. I also have a few line wrench style crows foot for specific situations. Once upon a time I used them for marine engine alignments until I fabricated my own special tools for this purpose so if you get around enough you will find uses for them but they do suck at corroded fastener situations.

    • @MontanaMetal
      @MontanaMetal  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I saw those. And all things considered, they're not ridiculously priced either. :) I did like the low mount point, and I prefer my sockets to be pointed up so I can see if it's 6 point or 12 point or etc. My only criticism is kind of petty, I just don't care for the numbering system. Some of the numbers have an arrow pointing to a socket and if something is in the way or your socket drawer is up high, you just can't see the number. I do like the look of them though. :)

    “Crowsfeet are useless.” I guess you’ve don’t/never done much heavy equipment lol. They’re real useful for hard to reach fitting, but I used them a lot on hydraulic lines. I’m looking for some good socket trays, but having trouble with the 3/8 and 1/2. My problem is my most 3/8 got up to 19 or 20 (mine go up to 22) and 1/2 typically stop at 27 (mine are up to 36). Only ones that seem to go up that high are the Westling trays or the modular ones, such as Toolbox Widget and Toolganizer.

    Hansen was the original company to make that style trays and they made them for snap on. The Hansen's are USA made and all the copied brands like olsa are made overseas. I use to have gearwrench and oemtools and their both Hansen copies made in China.

    the problem with all of these systems is no decent customization, those magnetic trays look decent, but my sockets go up way past the sizes offered so it would be crappy to have that. Then the rails while decent and I guess customizable, are quite boring in terms of look and also quite small in terms of length. Might have to make my own.

    No way. You are featuring socket rails that do not have the twist feature. Olsa and Gearwrench both have magnetic rails with twist feature so you can rotate each socket to exactly where you want it, usually for visibility of markings. I would never have rails that don't allow for that rotation.

    • @MontanaMetal
