[Shop-talk] Socket holders

[scott.hall at comcast.net]

oh man.  I hate socket rails with a passion.  when I was stocking up on tools, the first thing I did was toss the rail and get a 'real' holder.  I hate having to wrestle the socket off the rail, especially when my hands are oily.  though I will concede the rails are the most compact thing going.
