Lets See Them Sockets

[george4]

Here are the snap on sockets that are in my toolbox that have both metric and standard sizes on them.

1 1/16"-27mm
1 3/16"-30mm
1 3/8"-35mm
1 1/2"-38mm
2 1/8"-54mm

I also use a 6pt 1 7/16" as a 36mm alot and have had no problems.

Here is a conversion chart, a lot a pretty close.

Here's my set... I don't really like the clip strips but they take up less space.

I use them for that very reason.

I don't care for the clip rails either but, same as you guys, they are space savers. I ripped stips of 3/4 thick wood an inch or so wide and screwed the rails to them. Painted the wood grey for metric and red for sae and stand them upright as you have yours in the top tray of my chest. Works and is cheap. I can buy more sockets for the money saved

When I had my tools at the shop, I pop-riveted the socket rails to the drawer bottom in my socket drawers so they wouldn't fall over when I rolled my box around. It worked well, but was a hassle to change the layout if necessary.

Now that they are at home, I just stand the rails up in the top of a chest, because it doesn't need to move. I think the Hansen trays are nice for access, but I would need twice as much space for sockets if I was using them.

Jokeman, I notice your Hansen trays are doubled. do you have 6 and 12 point sockets of everything?


Very impressive

Yes, 6pt and 12pt. All the impacts are 6pt. I do need to pickup some swivel's but Im pretty well set for now.

i had most of my impact sockets are 6pts but chromes is both 6pts and 12pts. i prefer to have impact sockets as 6pts as good contact on bolts and nuts...
