*Wull, My input is in the storage of sockets.*
**
*I hated every rail or board system I ever tried for sockets.*
**
*One day, prowling a surplus store, I found a stack of BIG muffin pans . .
24" x 36" with big individual muffin indentions.  I cut one down to fit my
large tool cabinet and marked a pocket for each socket size starting with
the smallest 1/4' drive and continuing up through the  1/2" drives.*

*This results in having all the sockets of one size in ONE pocket:  I might
have 1/2" sockets of 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" drives including short and tall.  *

*This works for me:  I go for a socket KNOWING what size I want and can then
select which drive and length.*

*You don't HAVE to use a muffin tin . .  any system of dividers to give one
a place for EVERY size you own will work.  I find that 24 divisions gives me
a pocket for every size fractional socket up thru 1 1/2" *

*If I used metrics much, I'd do the same thing in another drawer.*
