torin/mts socket holder

[chipper]

Has anybody had a chance to use these yet i just ordered a couple one reviewer says they're stamped mts just a little cheaper and free shipping and from what ive seen mts doesnt offer this style in 3/8.... I'll do a review once i get them ....ive always wanted to get some mts but i have a hard time paying almost half the cost of the item in shipping http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0096...SX200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41Wm1hYqN0L&ref=plSrch

I have something very similar that I like a lot. The problem I ran into was sizing as they seem to make them for the everyday average socket set. Example, metric 3/8 drive, holder goes from 8mm to 19mm and I have them up to 24mm. I can't fault them, it makes a ton of sense to make them the way they do.

Have some 1/4 drive MTS knockoffs, no idea who makes them, but I really like them. The big difference is they have the sizes marked on them. Pics here http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236801
Like to find some more in 3/8 drive.

Yup, best organizers in my mind.

This is my problem. I really want (more of) them...'bout to get the bandsaw and epoxy out and go to town.

3/8" goes BIG in my box.

Shoot....so does 1/2".

funny i bought these from matco, hoping they work in my field service truck.. the hole diameter is way bigger than my sockets i used them once and my sockets were all over. the magnet is not strong enough for a field serve truck. but if you were to use them in a shop box they will work fine. matco sells green and red holders.

They are great for 1/4 inch drive I use them to hold my 5-15mm since I do not use 4mm that much

But my 3/8 set 6mm-26mm I use a 12 and 8 inch vim magrail that works the best

I have a few from Snap On and Matco. I like them for some of my smaller swivel socket sets or torx and Allen sockets. But most of my regular chrome and impact sockets are in Hansen trays. Which I like for easy size ID at a quick glance.

Same Amazon seller has magnetic rails at a good price. Anyone ever use these?

I wish i would have asked this before i bought them im pretty disappointed with the purchase as others said the fit of sockets are poor its almost better set up for 1/2 drive but that really wont work either...ive had these for about ten minutes and regret it thanks for all the replies

I use the MTS for my 1/4" metrics. I absolutely love it. Simple to grab on the go and since i'm not very good at eyeing up a size, i can just grab the entire set. I may try one of these since the price is a lot cheaper for my next one.

See my review here. I agree with everybody else.

I like the model 380. It's a staggered row for 3/8. I also like the universal for swivels and bit sockets. But this 3/8 model is really disappointing.
