Socket Organizer

[Walkin Horse]

Does anybody have any good ideas for socket organizers. They are a mess and hard to keep up with. The rails I have them on are hard to get off and most times the sizes are turned to where I can't see them. Homemade or store bought would work. I have posted the picture of my end wrenches to show that I do have some neatness. Thanks for any ideas.

I've had the same trouble as you with metal rails. Once I bought a set of 4 sockets (hex keys, I think) on a short plastic rail. The rail had thumb activated levers on each socket that made it a joy to remove the sockets. I've searched in vein for longer rails like that. If anyone knows where they can be bought, please let me know. Aside from those unattainable rails the best thing I've found is the formed plastic case that my Stanley sockes came in, they were bought at Walmart. There's a hole for each socket in logical order the case is nearly as valuable to me as the sockets.

I have a holder that came with my SK sockets. It has a grove for each socket to lay in and the size written by each one. Don't know where to get one and don't know of anything better. If I set up another box I will ether buy or make the same thing. Ed

The HF rail and sliding socket "clips" are a pretty poor imitation of the real thing. They work, but the "clips" are kinda flimsy and sometimes very hard to force a socket down onto. And then they sometimes just spring off. Plus they have sharp corners. Still, for the price, I use 3 or 4 of them.

Craftsman also makes one that works well. I would suggest Google socket organizer and click on the images tab. You will see examples of many different kinds.

I'd love to have a 72" or so box with deep top drawer. Deep enough to have all my sockets on these racks standing up. Unfortunately it's not in the cards right now. I use the metal rails and they work okay, but they're not as easy to select the appropriate socket from. It's also more difficult to replace the socket onto the rail than one of these racks.
