Cheap mod for HF 99 cent socket rails - 2x4

[DuratecMan10]

Bored in the shop, so I did this today. One side is metric, other is SAE. Fits in my box nicely and easy to grab n go. No more balancing on anything anymore. I used small pan screws to secure and the socket tabs still move freely. For my 4 to 8mm ones, I cut out part of a plastic organizer, glued it to the rail and ran white tape to ID that side as Metric.

Great idea.
I too use the HF socket organizers.

That might put Hansen out of business!

Nice, I've used a piece of plywood for many years to do the same thing. One piece of plywood has SAE and another piece has Metric, about 6 racks of sockets on each board.

Same idea, but pre HF
Just 8 penny nails for the sockets to drop down over

Thanks! It just may do it! Lol. It works in my box as well. [emoji41]

Thanks! That sounds great. When I get more impact sockets (and a larger box) I'll keep that in mind.

Great Idea I got some sears organizers might just cut the handles off and do that.

Thanks. Definitely go for it. It's working great for me, and doesn't take up much room either.
