Does this type of socket holder exist?

I am looking to try and clear up some space in the drawer and I want to store my impact sockets vertically. The catch is I have a deep standard set and a shallow metric set + a 20MM deep socket. Is there any way to store these in one vertical holder?

Here is a pic of the sockets.

Get some Hansen trays or some clones. Eventually you will have the other sockets to fill them.

Basically I want it to take up no more room than the red standard socket tray takes up. That possible?

Look at Mechanics Time Savers, though they work better for chrome than impact...hmm...I am using a mix of MTS & Hansens, with my deep impact in the Hansens.

All one for JUST the socekts yo have pictured, unlikely unless that way from the factory as a set.

Snap-On makes the magnetic holders which have indiviual holes for sockets in 12 different configurations in 1/4 and 3/8 drives. You may find something else save for the lonely 20mm socket.
Ex:
KMAG38D12O

Outside of that I like teh twist and lock rails or I also use standard clip rails pop riveted to sheets of 1/4" alum that allows me to put either 2, 3 or 4 rails per sheet to meet the size of my socket set confiurations.

Finding something that perfectly fit what you have along with the odd pieces is nearly impossible.

Reconfiguralable rails and clips in you mfg and price of choice is how I go for an ever growing set of sockets.

Magnets: I use 1" X 2" X 5/16 conveyor" magnets, slapped then on the side of the drawer, and slapped my deeps against them. The thickness of the magnets allow me an easy finger hold to get them easily. For a "side mount" a magnetic tool bar would also work, or multiple layers of magnetic tape

I have the same magnets on the bottom of the drawer on the opposite side, and the short 1/2" and 3/8" drives are all sitting on those. The rest are mostly on clip bars resting on rows of magnets to keep them from flopping around)
