Storing Sockets
What is the best way to store sockets? I have a few different sets who's containers have long since been lost that I want to keep organized and accessible.
There are:
To sets of 1/2 (6 and 12 point STD) each from 3/8 to 1 1/2.
Two sets of 3/8 (metric and STD) from 6mm to 19mm and 3/16 to 9/16.
And finally two sets of 1/4 (metric and STD) from 4mm to 19mm and 1/8 to 1/2.
All of the sets are fairly large since they have wierd ones like 11/32, 25/32, 4.5, 5.5, or 6.5.
I know I can just put a ton of nails on the wall but I am looking for something more creative.
Any ideas?
Thanx, JJ

I've got hundreds of sockets too, sae, metric, impact, deep, etc. The best method for me are those little flat Craftsman holders with a rubber handle. This keeps them separated and just as importantly, allows for quick transport of a large number....take the whole rack rather than heading back to the box each time another socket is needed.

I still have the cases for my impacts deep and regular and my chrome deep.
If possable I would rather not buy more stuff. The reason I am doing this is trying to organise the ton of stuff I already have.
Anyway I really don't know what you are talking about. I will go check out their web site.

My impact sockets are in a plastic case, but my regular sockets are on a rail that is described by buzzard. If you're close to a sears, they are only a few bucks and you can get extra clips that slide onto the rail if it doesn't come with enough.
