It's in my blood.
Here are photos 8-12:






8. The fitting is so snug that they do NOT fall out of the clips.

9. Deep well sockets (3/8 in this photo) do not fall out.

10. If you have those rare earth super-strong magnets, the rail can stick to them no problem

11. Rail on the magnets.

12. The rail cut down to 12" lengths, organized in toolbox.

Total cost to me was about $20. I purchasd a few bags (qty 10 per bag) Ares 3/8 socket clips from Amazon.

*** NOTE: 1/2" socket clips will not fit ***

I cannot overstate how versatile, snug, and cheap this solution turned out to be.

This rail is sturdy and firm. However, I did experience some difficulty in making a couple of the rails because my friend had bent one during disassembly. They are not inidestructible. But they are better than any store-bought offering out there.

If you're looking for a change in how you keep your sockets, I would strongly consider this one. It changed my life.

Cheers!
