Mechanic's Time Savers

Mastering the Art of Tool Control

If you have ever lost a socket mid-job or wasted precious minutes hunting through a cluttered toolbox drawer, you already understand the problem that Mechanic's Time Savers (MTS) was built to solve. Mechanic's Time Savers, Inc. is the leading manufacturer of magnetic tool control systems, components, and accessories in the USA. The company's entire philosophy is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: made by mechanics for mechanics, all MTS products are ergonomically designed and easy to use.

Patented Magnetic Technology That Works

What truly sets MTS apart from generic tool organizers is the engineering behind their magnetic systems. Mechanic's Time Savers products feature a non-transferable magnetic base which will not magnetize tools or damage on-board computers and other electronic circuitry. This is a critical consideration in modern automotive work, where sensitive electronics are everywhere under the hood. Taking pride in its numerous worldwide patents on many of its products, MTS is a trusted brand that conceptualizes and manufactures products tailored to your specific needs.

The flagship Drive Socket Storage Rail lineup — including the iconic Lock-A-Socket and Magna-Caddy series — exemplifies this philosophy. The Lock-A-Socket tool organizer and drive socket holder gives the ability to store and organize drive sockets as desired, eliminating clutter in your toolbox and service cart drawers. Lock-A-Socket technology allows you to secure sockets into the holder with a simple twist — place the socket on the holder and twist right to lock, or twist left to unlock and remove.

Beyond Sockets: A Complete Tool Organization Ecosystem

MTS doesn't stop at socket storage. Their Tool Holder range — from the Magna-Stick to dedicated screwdriver and wrench holders — is engineered to keep every hand tool within arm's reach. The Magna-Stick increases productivity by eliminating the loss of valuable hand tools; it is designed to hold a variety of tools including screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets, and pliers, and magnetically attaches to most any metal surface such as a tool cart or vehicle.

For shops that need a broader organizational framework, MTS Tool Boards and magnetic panels provide a wall- or cart-mountable system that keeps an entire workspace tidy and efficient. Numerous industries appreciate the fact that when a tool is placed on an MTS tray, it stays in place — easily identifiable, no rattling, no loss of valuable tools, and all tools stay organized.

Trusted Across Industries

MTS designs tool organization for large tool manufacturers and the professional industrial market, and the company's products are used by the military, aviation, and racing industries. Whether you are a professional automotive technician, a motorsport crew member, or a serious DIY enthusiast, MTS delivers the kind of dependable, innovative tool control that turns a chaotic garage into an efficient workspace.
