I was at a swap meet last month and bought a socket holder for 1/4" drive sockets from a tool dealer. Brand new, it looks just like the Mechanics Time Saver holder for both shallow and deep sockets. The only difference I see is it is marked with sizes for each hole, a nice improvement I think. Bought one for SAE, cost $10.00, went back later to get a metric, but he had sold out. These were loose with no packaging or makers name. No big deal I thought, I'll find them online and get some more. But a web and image search hasn't turned up anything like this. Anybody else see these and have a source?
Thanks, Jim

I don't remember any 3/8" drive stuff, but was hoping to find some online. Really can't believe these 1/4" drive ones haven't surfaced somewhere else.

Been looking for deals on MTS socket racks and remebered this thread, so I'll give it a bump.

Thanks, I'd really like to find some more. As I'm moving my tools over to my new box, I found that the open holes work awesome for short extension storage, unlike the open pegs on Hansen type trays.

Went back to the swap meet where I got the SAE holder last year, and picked up a 1/4" metric holder. This is the only place I've ever been able to find these, online searches have turned up nothing. I really like these, wish I could find them in larger drive sizes. 2nd pic shows magnetic bottom.

You should buy a small stock and sell them here. Lol. Then when you buy a few ask the guy where he gets them

Guy sells them for $10., thought of buying some for resale, but didn't know how much more was in them. Swap meet ends today, is a 2+ hr drive for me, so not really an option.
