Socket Organisation UK

[Adam2305]

Hi all. Currently struggling to find suitable and affordable socket storage solutions for a large amount of 1/4 and 3/8 sockets. I really like westlings and Ernst’s offerings however delivery to the UK is simply not worth it. Any people from the UK have any ideas or tips?

I’m not against making a diy system with rails and plywood however want it to be neat.

Also I really like the Matco Grid system however again can not find it in the UK market

Thanks in advance

Other than these in different brand names, Westling dont ship to the UK and nothing like that here...

Ernst get rebranded by Snap On - 'I think'

Might find the snap on stuff on ebay.

Other than that their all pretty much the same.

Can Also buy Ernst on amazon it's like £50 for the 3 piece set that holds 90 sockets.

In my eyes best for the money.

Was never happy with the commercially available space wasters out there, so I made my own. That way you can make them any size or shape that suits your needs.

Here are some Hanson trays on amazon UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MOD7WES/?tag=atomicindustr-21


This set of Hanson trays gets great reviews on Amazon.uk but is out of stock. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001C6NL52/?tag=atomicindustr-21

I have used the Hanson trays for at least 15 years and really like them.

There are a few hanson style trays on ebay that can be had for cheap, fits all my sockets perfect.

If you are crafting, then I would suggest drilling the diameters of the sockets and making closing cases. The advantage of the Westling trays is movability and other trays don't really allow this. A case would.
