Socket Storage and End Boxes

[mangorockfish]

How do you guys store your sockets? I like those little trays that have the "pegs" sticking up that the sockets slide down on and have the size printed on the end. Are there other ways that I'm not aware of. I'm using a HF 5-drawer cart.

Also, the HF end box with 7 or 9 drawers (I forget which) is 3" wider than the 5-drawer cart. I see what looks like people hanging these on their carts, but it looks to me like the top lid won't close with the end box being so wide. Am I missing something?

You should do some searches in this forum for "socket storage", "socket rails", "socket trays", and any other related terms you can come up with. There are numerous threads on socket storage.

I have the old-style Vim Tools magnetic rails. Maybe some day I'll try the Magna-Caddys from Mechanics Time Savers

These guys make socket organizers from aluminum billet. A nice touch. Made in USA.
