Need extra socket extension space

[johninct]

I am running out of space storing socket extensions. I have them flat in the drawer fit together like puzzle pieces so I am pretty maxed out storage wise. I was thinking about getting a magnetic panel and sticking some new extensions on the metal sides of the drawer. Has anybody tried this?

wall mount flashlight bracket, if you can find one small enough.

I prefer to not use magnets if I don't have to. As they tend to collect metal shavings.

I found some open top boxes at the dollar store...about 2"x12"x1 1/2" deep. Doesn't make for a "show" drawer but is handy, you can get a bunch of extensions in it, worst case it takes 2-3 seconds to find extension you need.

The GJ solution is to buy a bigger toolbox

I have a drawer for each drive size (ratchets, extensions, swivels) instead of a dedicated drawer for extensions.

Just pile it all in there!

I used 2 freebie magnet bars bolted together back to back on the open lid of my HF tool cart it works GREAT for extensions, ratchets and more

Keep two... sell the rest.

Same here I think the ones I bought are Rubbermaid. They have been working great a for a few years and a few bucks.

I am also using the Rubbermaid drawer organizers that were originally intended for kitchen utensils.

I always wanted to find an extension holder that was like a drill holder. Open up and the extensions stand up in different rows for each drive.
