I have a set of these:

Easy to grab and go when I'm working on a car out in the driveway... don't take up much room on the side of my tool chest... could even hang them from a pegboard, I guess. Also just takes a quick glance to make sure I didn't leave any socket under the car...

Not sure, but probably.
Get a little plastic box the right size and superglue some rare earth magnets to the bottom.

Lots are out there. I thing I have a few VIM Mag Rails for just this purpose. The only problem is that any loose sockets get sucked into the Mag rail. 
Also, *all* of my tools are now magnetic.

Impact swivel sockets?

Yup. Got tired of stupid clip rails and not seeing sizes, so took advantage of existing space.
I have a red painted steel magnetic rail that looks like the rails in my attached image. It works well, but I didn't buy it new (garage sale find), so I don't know what brand it is. I don't see anything stamped or printed on it to identify the maker. Maybe someone else on GJ would know. It looks like Lowes sold them under the Kobalt brand for a while, but they are no longer available on the Lowes website.
Here's a listing for a 3pc set of that style socket holder on Ebay. They likely aren't the same brand I have, so I can't comment on them specifically, but they appear to be priced well.

Those magnets must be pretty stout.
