Need to identify these socket organisers

Some years ago I bought some socket organisers that have worked really well for me. Even bought some extras but as the collection grows....well, now I need some more.

Searched high and low but can't even find a picture of the same system and none of the usual places seem to have them. Can't remember where I bought them, Ebay or Amazon I'd suspect. Needless to say, they're not branded.

The ones I'm after are those in the back of this drawer, not the rails in the front.

I'm hoping someone can tell me what they are and maybe where I can get some more.

Socketmat.com looks super similar to what you have

Yes, thanks, they do. I should have mentioned that Socketmat were the nearest thing that I'd found.

The big difference with Socketmat is the spacing which is much wider compared to the ones I have, where spacing reduces for the smaller sockets.

Have you looked through your archived ebay and amazon orders to see if they're listed there?

Ha!!

Ebay only archives for 3 years, so no luck there, but your post did prompt me to search through old emails and I found one from Paypal confirming my purchase back in 2012.

So, thank you, I've found them and ordered some more. Two full sets actually, which is possibly double what I need for the rest of my life.

Once I identified these things I then tried to search for them, knowing the keywords. Strangely enough, I got no result on Ebay, nor did I get one on Google, even knowing the name of the product (Socket Pro). No mention that I can see here on Garage Journal, either. Most odd - I would have expected that someone here would have known about them.

So, for anyone else interested in these organisers, they're called Socket Pro and the Ebay seller is george37000.

With freight, import charges and GST (thanks Malcolm) two sets came in at $122AUD which is pricey but, IMHO, they are the best socket organisers around, being low profile (allows long drop sockets to stand up in a shallow drawer) and able to clip the strips together in various configurations to suit your drawer size and preference. No need to struggle with metal or ball retention systems making them quick and easy to pick up or return. No labelling means that it's easy to accommodate new sockets added to the collection.

I'm a happy camper again. :bounce:
