Looking mighty fine and functional!

Hmm, I do have an old unopened tub of bondo. Heck, I might try laying cling-wrap over bondo and bedding the sockets in it to create a holder from scratch! Fiberglass backing an excess of resin might work.

I have an vintage 1/4 Snap-On set from my grandfather, it consists of 8 sockets, a 6-inch extension, a driver with an orange plastic handle, a sliding T-bar, a unmarked/no-name breaker-bar (presumably added), a modern Thorsen 77M ratchet (added), and a vintage Bonney RF22 refrigeration ratchet...
