Does anyone know where to get the old MAC style socket trays?

You know the metal boxes? Im looking for a good method to store my 1/2 deep impact sockets and cant come up with anything. These would be perfect but i dont know if anyone still makes any like this.

They don't make those anymore.

I don't know if cornwell still make theirs, but other than that you gotta make one for yourself.

I have seen a few on ebay before.

Cornwell is fazing them out, so if you want them you better get them quick

Why would they get rid of those? My dad has some that he must have got in the 80s, they are great for organization.

I really hate seing the old metal trays bite the dust. They over all work good and are so much better then those stupid socket rails, and those pastic tray SO has now a days, come on. Matco's rails do work pretty good, I kinda forgave them for dropping the trays after I used the rails.

Does cornwell sell these individually or do you have to buy a socket set? I don't see them listed on their website.

I have these two re-furbished Mac trays with the lip on the side for hanging on tool cart etc.-believe one is 3/8 and other is 1/2. If anyone is interested PM me......Cranky

I have a regular depth MAC 1/2" impact tray I will give away if anyone wants it.

I bought a bunch of Proto brand trays from McMaster about 5 years ago, but they've stopped selling them since. I too prefer trays since almost all of my Matco sockets came with them back in the 80's.

i find used truck branded trays at the flea mkt every once in a while.

never paid more than $5 for one.

If you carry your tools around alot the plastic rails are the way to go. However for in box storage the metal trays can't be beat. I'm pretty sure Mac still makes the trays. Snap-On has made the trays for a long time too but they don't come with the socket sets, you have to buy them separately at Snap-On prices. Nonetheless their trays are the nicest I've ever seen.
