Keep sockets safe and organised: LocSoc secure socket storage — one thumb release
Tuesday 10 February 2026
A new patented socket storage system from Laser Tools: the LocSoc range of magnetic socket rails — sockets are locked in place to prevent accidental loss and keep tool drawers and shadow boards neat and scratch-free. Designed for professional workshops, mobile technicians and fleet garages, LocSoc combines positive mechanical locking for the sockets combined with powerful rare-earth magnets and a soft backing to the rail to deliver fast, secure organisation that stands up to daily workshop use.
LocSoc features:
- Stop sockets falling out: the patented LocSoc locating stub mechanically locks each socket to the rail, so sockets stay put when the rail is removed from a drawer or moved around the workshop.
- Fast, one-thumb release: push the socket to the side with your thumb to rotate the locating stub and release the socket — replace the socket then click back into the locked position.
- Stays put under load: two strong NdFeB rare-earth magnets hold the rail firmly to steel toolbox surfaces even when fully loaded.
- Workshop-safe finish: a soft backing protects drawer bases and finished surfaces from scratching during everyday use.
- Flexible mounting: additionally, each rail features mounting holes for permanent attachment to non-ferrous surfaces and can be used vertically on shadow boards or horizontally in drawers.
- Neat options for every need: single rails for standard organisation, double rails for larger socket counts and a three-piece set for technicians who want all three drive sizes together. Note: sockets are not included.
