Ernst Manufacturing Gripper Wrench Organizer, 7 Tool, Black

Works great, hold wrenches nice and tight, the clips are effective and can accommodate a variety of wrench thicknesses. Plastic seems strong. Tested with Craftsmen and Kobalt wrenches. Kobalt fits great, Craftsmen is a little tight. There are more than enough spaces. My wrench sets are 10 or 11 pieces and there are 15 spaces. So you can move up or down a couple of spaces to get a better fit. Moving up the rack each space is slightly larger than the last.

I have purchased this same organizer in the past. (5 total so far) I like them to match and I use black for metric and red for SAE.I like how these come in different configurations for more or less wrenches in a particular set. (not as much wasted space if you are using it on a smaller set for example and order a smaller organizer) Also, the material it is made out of seems ideal for a wrench organizer. It is a softer plastic that is pretty easily bent. When inserting or removing a wrench you really notice this. It is also keeps a pretty good grip on the wrenches. I have some that are more brittle and are harder to deal with. They expect a certain thickness in the wrench for example. These work with thin or thick wrenches in my experience.I would not recommend hanging it from the handle on this style. I did that and after about 6 months the handle broke. (picture attached) To hang it on a wall, use the screw holes on the back of the organizer. The other style that goes from small to big with the handle on the small size didn't break. (it is a shorter handle and can hang that way without breaking) I now keep them in a drawer in my toolbox.I bought 2 to begin with for my normal sized (Craftsman ratcheting) SAE and metric wrenches. Later I bought 2 again for SAE and metric stubby GearWrench wrenches and finally I bought this one that is the perfect size for a very thin set of Stanley metric wrenches I found on clearance at Menards. (The thin set is to work on brake caliper pin bolts to avoid having to use a small vicegrip)

I have three different brands of open end wrenches, two sets of seven and one set of ten, so I ordered (2) - 7 wrench holders and (1) - 10 wrench holder.For two of the sets I own, the model 5081 - 7 wrench holder does not hold anything but the small wrenches, very well. The wrenches need to be pretty thin for the 5081 holder. It holds my Craftsman wrenches until I get to the 5/8" and 3/4" wrenches, they are too thick. The Model 5049 holds most wrenches very well. I think I may return the two 5081 holders and get two more of the ten wrench holders.

The design of these wrench organizers is far superior to most other types I have encountered for these reasons:1. The handle is sturdy enough to hold the fully loaded rack without problem when carrying.2. The handle can also be folded up to reduce the amount of space required when placed in a tool chest drawer.3. The wrench slots have simple, but effective clips that actually hold the wrenches in place.4. The graduated size of the wrench slots works very well for typical sized sets.Now, you might read through that list and think those seem like obvious features that every wrench organizer should have, and you'd be right, but sadly most fail in at least one if not most of these features.This model work great for the GearWrench 20-Piece Ratcheting Set when paired with the Ernst 5048 Red 10-Wrench Organizer.

I ordered this because I had an old holder that held 11 Craftsman wrenches and I was wanting to expand the wrench collection, which included expanding the holder capacity as well.This organizer looked to fill this role by adding 4 more slots for my needs; total 15. Once the item arrived it was found to serve those need perfectly.Although I am not letting it affect the rating, nor am I entirely blaming the vendor, because the dimensions were indeed listed, please be aware that if you are buying this item to fit in a roll-around tool box, it "WILL NOT" fit in the upper cabinet. Most upper cabinets are 12" in depth, and this organizer is 13.5".It would have helped if this was stated a little more clearly on the description so customers would know that this item was going to need to be stored in their bottom cabinet in their toolbox, which in my case hurt badly. I am still trying to get re-organized.Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and delivery of this item.

I'm a big fan of these. With so many options on the market I was hesitant to buy but I' glad I went with Ernst. The wrench organizers hold my snap on wrenches in place very securely and fit well in my tool box drawers. I can carry them easily and without worry that any of my wrenches will fall out. The handle folds underneath for compact storage and the different colors allow for easy identification of SAE and metric sets. The fact that these are made in USA is also a plus. I will be buying another set in the reverse configuration for the rest of my wrenches to nest in the drawers nicely.

I bought two organizers to hold my new set of keys (Metric and SAE). The organizers perfect fit my two sets. Easy to take of and place the tools. The hanger is perfect.My two sets are compose of the following keys:Metric set includes: 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 mmSAE set includes: 1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1, 1-1/8"

These work pretty well. Not as rigid as some, but they hold the tools snugly and keeps the tools in place.The rubber like material these are made from is soft and flexible enough to accommodate a variety of wrench types and sizes. The "clips" that hold the wrenches in place deform (by design) to hold everything. Looks a little weird but works well.Handles are really innovative in that they can be folded up or underneath the holder to get them out of the way and save space. A worthwhile purchase.

It’s a good quality wrench holder, don’t get me wrong (good plastic quality). But the way the keys hold in place is really odd — they have to clip in place and is not really efficient time-wise. I’ll use it in my home garage when time isn’t an issue.

Fits very nicely in my tool box and holds all my wrenches firmly. I have actually carried this by the handle and none of the tools fell out. I seems well suited to my wrench set and the indexing matches the lengths of the individual wrenches well. It has a very soft feel when inserting and removing the tools. All in all I am very pleased with it. I bought two of these, one red and one black for my metric and imperial wrenches.

super happy and surprised that its rubber! I thought it would be cheap plastic. they are compact in design which is nice too, wrenches fit snugly, they are a little close together, but they all fit (9 through 18mm). For the price, cant be beat!
