[Shop-talk] Socket organizers again

[Mark Andy]

Howdy,

Ok, I need six new socket organizers (new toolbox setup with 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 
sockets in metric and english).  I think for this one I want those plastic 
rails with the clips that use ball bearings.  Like the metal clips except 
for the part about how I don't throw them through the window because they 
work and don't stick or pull the clip off or whatever.  I have to store 
the sockets on their sides due to drawer height.

Anyway, a local tool guy has 'em for around $10/rail.  Anyone know of a 
better place / price?

I'm not sure who makes them other than VIM.

Looks like Ernst also has something similar for less money 
(http://www.ernstmfg.com/products_socket_organizers.php), but I'm not sure 
how well the sockets go on and off.  Anyone used one of these?

My other alternative is to go with the Lisle socket trays like I use on my 
main toolbox.  I was hoping to find something that was a little more 
portable & which took a little less room.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

Mark
