  • Angled wrench widgets - They are made for large wrenches, generally 3/4 inch or 19mm and larger.

yes, we have an adapter for connecting angled widgets to vertical widgets. It does take up some space but allows angled and vertical widgets in the same run.

The widgets come in singles, allowing connections to any number of organizers needed. They are designed to have as few or as many as widgets that can fit in a toolbox. For example, a 4’ wide toolbox could attach 4’ worth of widgets.

Depending on your need or preference, one wrench per widget works great. Some users like using two per wrench which is more preferred on very large wrenches or mobile techs who have their tool boxes in their vehicle.

Yes, the preferred method is with thin drawer liners. The thinner drawer liners allow for great grip, plus you can see the missing tool indicator more easily. The magnets are strong enough to still hold everything in place, even while shaking the drawer.

It is rare, especially with the steel plates and retention plates. However, if this should happen they have been designed to have a place to super glue just in case. Simply clean the magnet and widget side with alcohol, let dry and you can use standard super glue. Let dry for the recommended time then re-use. If this happens and you are not satisfied with it, Toolbox Widget will replace the widget for you. See the lifetime warranty, returns page or email us at support@toolboxwidget.ca
