Product Information
Full details
The Laser Tools LocSoc Double Rail (1/2"D Magnetic - 9241) is designed for mechanics and workshop professionals seeking efficient socket organization. Its key benefit is the patented LocSoc locking mechanism, which securely holds sockets and prevents them from falling off, combined with a magnetic double rail for substantial capacity. A minor consideration is that it is specifically designed for 1/2" drive sockets.

FAQs
What size drive sockets does this rail support?
This specific model, 9241, is designed to hold 1/2" drive sockets only. Other drive sizes are available under different part numbers.
How many sockets can the rail hold?
The double rail design has the capacity to hold up to 20 x 1/2" drive sockets.
Can I mount this rail permanently?
Yes, the rail is equipped with mounting holes that allow for permanent attachment to non-ferrous surfaces using appropriate screws.
Will the magnets scratch my toolbox?
No, the rail features a soft, scratch-free backing specifically designed to protect painted or delicate surfaces.
How do I clean the rail?
Wipe the rail with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the magnetic surfaces are free from metal particles.
What material is the rail made from?
The rail is manufactured from anodised aluminium with plastic socket holders.
Are other drive sizes available?
Yes, Laser Tools offers 1/4"D and 3/8"D socket rails. Please refer to Part Nos. 9239 (1/4"D) and 9240 (3/8"D).
Troubleshooting
Sockets fall off the rail
Ensure each socket is properly engaged and locked by tilting the individual holder. Check that the holder mechanism is not obstructed or damaged. Verify you are using 1/2" drive sockets, as this rail is not compatible with other drive sizes.
Rail does not hold securely to metal surfaces
Clean both the magnetic surface of the rail and the mounting surface to remove any dust, oil, or debris. Ensure the mounting surface is made of a ferrous metal. Stronger rare earth magnets may attract small metal particles; clean them regularly.
Plastic socket holders are stiff or difficult to move
Gently flex the holder back and forth a few times to loosen it. Ensure no debris is trapped within the mechanism. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Securely holds sockets with the locking mechanism, preventing loss.
- Dual rail design offers excellent storage density.
- Strong magnets ensure the rail stays put on metal surfaces.
- Protective backing prevents damage to work surfaces.
- Durable materials ensure a long lifespan in demanding environments.
Cons
- Exclusively designed for 1/2" drive sockets.
- Requires a ferrous metal surface for magnetic mounting or drilling for permanent fixing.
- Capacity is fixed at 20 sockets per rail.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Laser Tools LocSoc Double Rail is designed for immediate use. For magnetic mounting, simply place the rail onto any clean, flat ferrous metal surface. Ensure the surface is free of debris for optimal magnetic grip. For permanent installation on non-ferrous surfaces (like wood or plastic cabinets), use the pre-drilled mounting holes. Secure the rail using appropriate screws (not included) suitable for the mounting surface.
Compatibility: This specific model (9241) is designed exclusively for 1/2" drive sockets. Separate models are available for 1/4" drive (Part No. 9239) and 3/8" drive (Part No. 9240) sockets.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of the rail, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the anodised aluminium finish or the plastic socket holders. Ensure magnets are kept clean and free from metal filings to maintain their full magnetic strength. Periodically check that socket holders are functioning correctly.
