Tooluxe socket tray organizer

Tool Storage - 80 pc. Socket Rack Storage Tray 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 Drive

I ordered one just to try. Just wondering if anyone uses one already. I got some plastic ones and they suck. The clips break too easily

Haven't used but looking at the site I see both trays they list have space for 1/2" drive, I wish they had trays that were all 1/2" and all 3/8", I could probably count the 1/2" sockets I have/use on one hand, just don't have much use for them.

The tray has 1/2 3/8 1/4 rails. i like having different rails for 6 and 12 point sockets. Right now I'm using these plastic rails and they break easily.

I have several of these in my "traveler" tool boxes that I use at remote shop sites.

They work well, although sometimes have a bit too much grip on the sockets and I use a pair of pliers to get the sockets out that I want.

At the price, they're a really good deal.

Cool man. Thanks. I'll order 3-4 more. I have tons of socket sets

I use something like that in portable kits, but for work in and around the garage I have been using these for years:

https://www.amazon.com/Hansen-Global.../dp/B001C6NL52

Sockets just set over the labeled pins, don't have to spend time looking for size on socket or trying to pry them off the rail fastener. Out of all the the trays I think only 2 pins snapped off from them falling off a bench/cart in the near 15 years they've been in use. Ill never go back to that other style for my organizing in my main box.
