Very new to the forum so I do appologise if this has been posted in the past and seeing as my first post didn't exactly get of to a good start lets see how many junkies there are out there on here who have a nice collection going

I'd be interested to see how many of you are serious about your tools :)

Metric

IMAG6400_zps532898ab.jpg


Not metric :)

IMAG6401_zps3e0d0527.jpg


And in my engine area I've almost gotten a complete set of all sizes in 12 pointers complete. But I use those damn peg organizers and it drives me nuts I have empty pegs so I'm not sharing. Also have a full set of 3/4 that I'm proud off, forgot to take a pic though.

This whole socket thing is just sick. I used to think I had a pretty decent collection till I started hanging out around here and some of these guys have insane collections.

Like Matt...show off LOL!

I understand about the empty pegs on the socket racks. I thought I had a pretty good collection and then started using the Harbor Freight peg racks. I just started trying to fill in the empty pegs, but I have a lot to fill, especially in the 1/2" inch drive.
I would like to see your 3/4" drive set if you are able to get a pic.

Are these trays homemade? If not, can you provide the source. Thanks.

The source was from Sears Roebuck & Co. 1960's and very early into the 70's when I bought most of them, and a few from flea markets and or Craigslist, Ebay to be donor trays to complete the 6 point non offered sets. Over the years.

These are the only pics I could find. This is of my old box. Not my current set-up. This is when I was sorting through and selling off my extras...:scared::twak:
I've since seen the error of my ways and do have a lot more now, though...And have taken them out of the boxes/packaging and put 'em on racks (except the Stanley's-those are still in the boxes) because it was a pain to open the box/pack to get at them. Looked nice, but wasn't practical...

OK, I'll bite. These pics are about a year and a half old, I have a few additions.

1/4" drawer and then the big drawer with the 3/8 and 1/2 sockets.
