Workshop storage
A socket rail that fits your set.
One peg per socket, laid out as a grid of any size. It hangs flush on two screws and lifts off when you need the sockets on the job.

How it works
- step 1
Pick your set
Start from a common metric or SAE set, then set how many across and how many rows. Check the diameters against your sockets.
- step 2
Print the fit test
One peg and one keyhole. Check a socket clicks on and a screw head drops in before printing the whole rail.
- step 3
Hang it
Print the drill template, mark the wall through it, and leave the screws a few millimetres proud. The rail drops onto them.
The generator runs OpenSCAD in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. It is a parametric model: a size change is a setting, not a new design.
Questions
Will it fit my sockets?
The pegs match the drive square (1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch), so any socket of that drive fits. Set the outside diameters to your sockets so the spacing is tight but not touching.
Do I need the magnets?
No. The detent clip and the upward tilt hold sockets on their own. A small disc magnet in each peg tip makes them harder to knock off when you carry the rail.
What screws do I need?
Pan head screws, about 4 mm thread with an 8 mm head, left about 2.8 mm out from the wall. Use plugs in masonry.
What size printer do I need?
Most sets fit a 220 mm bed, like a Creality Ender V3. The workbench warns if the rail gets longer than that; use more rows and fewer across.
Is it free? Do I need to install anything?
It is free and runs in your browser. The generator runs OpenSCAD locally, so nothing is uploaded and there is nothing to install.

Hi, I'm Will. I make these for jobs around my own house and garage. Every part is sized to print on a 220mm bed, like a Creality Ender V3.
