sounds like a plan. I was mainly just throwing ideas at you. Any of the things mentioned thus far would work.

I just got the 209 piece set from Sears for X-mas, and it came with the black plastic case that has the 4 pullout drawers. So far, everything has managed to stay in its place and it's got separate drawers for 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch, and an extra drawer for misc. stuff. It is bulky, but everything fits nicely in there. Maybe time will tell if the case is any good as far as keeping everything in place.

Be careful with the rag idea. An oil soaked rag crumpled upon itself, with a little pressure on it as well, can spontaneously ignite.

My 1/4 and 3/8 inch SK sockets are in factory plastic cases, which are holding up very well along with the tools. But I found after working on the road they did not like to travel in those plastic cases. They would spin around in the plastic case and take the shine off of them. So I put a little strip foam above them and and solved the problem. So just a warning to any road mechanics or people that have there tools in these style of cases and travel alot.
