VIM Tools Tool Boards: The Magrail Magnetic Organization System

When a cluttered workspace slows you down, the right tool storage solution makes all the difference. VIM Tools — a specialty automotive tool manufacturer with roots stretching back to 1931 — brings that same engineering precision to their tool board lineup. Their flagship offering in this category is the legendary Magrail system: a magnetic rail tool board designed from the ground up to keep mechanics, technicians, and serious DIYers organized, efficient, and always ready for the next job.

What Makes the VIM Tools Magrail Stand Out

Unlike traditional pegboards or passive tool holders, the VIM Magrail takes a completely different approach to tool storage. Strong neodymium magnets are embedded into an anodized aerospace-grade aluminum base, creating a low-profile rail (just 3/16" tall) that mounts virtually anywhere — on a toolbox drawer, a tool cart side panel, or even overhead on a flat metal surface. The magnets run along both the front and back of each rail, maximizing holding surface and versatility.

The system is engineered to hold fully loaded sockets, pliers, wrenches, and other steel hand tools securely in any position without slipping or sliding. Optional socket studs and T-bolts (available in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive sizes) let you customize the rail to sort sockets by drive size, keeping your most-used tools instantly identifiable and within arm's reach.

A System Built for the Professional Shop

VIM Tools offers the Magrail in a range of sizes — from compact 8" rails ideal for individual drawers up to expansive 20" double-wide versions with four rows of magnets and three T-slots — ensuring there is a configuration to fit any workspace. Color-coded options (red, blue, green) make drive-size organization intuitive at a glance, a small but powerful detail that saves real time during busy repair sessions.

For shops that need to outfit multiple stations, VIM also offers Magrail Jobber Packs — multi-rail bundles available in 8", 12", and 16" configurations, providing a ready-to-deploy socket and tool organization solution right out of the box.
