    Socket rails which, in turn, are kept in fabric tool rolls together with some pliers and screwdrivers.

    This whole set is now SOLD. I'm planning to list more German-made tools early next year. Have a happy holiday season everyone! I picked up this Knipes VDE plier set because I couldn't resist the relatively low price they've been offered for. As I have more pliers that I could use in my life...
