3 Row Socket Organizer, 1/2" Drive

[Shane6377]

Looking for a 3 row socket organizer in 1/2" drive. I'm partial to the Hansen style but open to other options if they exist.

I've been able to find the 1/4" and 3/8" drive but no luck on the 1/2" drive. Will be used for metric deep impacts, deep chromes and shallow chromes.

Snap-on has Hansen style trays for shallow semi-deep & deep sockets, Not 100% sure on what all drive sizes they cover, 1/4 & 3/8 I think are what I saw. Didnt really study them too hard when I was on the truck.

I'm not of any help here, because I don't plan on getting 1/2" semi deeps so I apologize, but what did ya end up buying for 1/4" and 3/8"? I'm also partial to the Hansen style and believe I saw OEM tools made a 3 tray on amazon, but haven't poked around much beyond that

Westling might have a three line in 1/2" drive now?

Get the Westling.

Hansen/SO are the best in my opinion. Closely followed by the lock-a-socket trays (for all other types of sockets - Allen, torx, etc).

Westling is taking their time with the 3 row 1/2” as well as the rest of the drive sizes for the universal trays. In their defense I’m pretty sure it’s basically one guy in the shop with his wife running the office.

I've found several options for 3/8" and 1/4" drive but nothing for 1/2". Sounds like I'll have to stick with my 2 row tray and a separate rail until someone comes out with a better option.

Ernst Socket Boss is my go to for socket organization...Summit Racing has the best price out there.

Every time you want a socket off the Ernst rack, you have to untwist it, correct?

 

[cheechi]

would you be willing to link the 3 row 3/8 you have? I may be interested in that.

Currently using 2 sets of HF ones for shallow, mid, swivel & deeps for my 3/8, but the swivels have fewer sizes in my set maybe i could reclaim some space.

I prefer for my 1/2 to keep shallow/deep chrome and shallow/deep impact on their own trays.

I like the 3-row Hansen tray for 3/8" drive
Hansen 3/8 inch Socket Tray Organizer Holder 3 Row Standard SAE Shallow, Deep USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JGQFCMV/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I don't have 1/2" shallow SAE impacts. That's why I want the 3 row... for chrome deep, chrome shallow and deep impacts.

If you call them, they’ll send the DuraPro HD clips instead of the twist lock ones. I like the rails and trays, but not the twist lock clips.

Another +1 for Ernst & Summit Racing.

Ernst makes two style socket pegs. One is a push on pull off and the other is the twist lock. I have both. With the twist lock you don't have to twist them if you don't want to lock them on the rail. I never do but then I roll the box to where I am working and never need to take an entire rail out to the worksite.
