So, I tried searching the forums first as I am sure this has been discussed before, but I had little luck. I am looking for people's feelings on different types of socket organizers. I have some metal cases, some clip rails, and some come from craftsman plastic holders. My clip rails are a mix or craftsman and harbor freight and the metal cases are old Harbor freight (the sockets not longer come in these) and the famous old green S&K. The harbor freight rails don't even hold shallow 1/4" sockets well enough. My dilemma is that most of what I work on is no where near my tool boxes so I end up throwing a bunch of tools in a bag and marching around with it. By the time I get to whatever I am working on, the sockets always end up loose in the bag and the size I am looking for is always as elusive as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. I am looking for input on a cost effective and dependable form of mobile socket organization. With that said, the peg style or recessed cut out style are a no go. Are the magnetic trays strong enough to do what I ask or only strong enough to keep sockets organized when opening and closing drawers? Metal cases are my favorite, but seem too costly for now. I don't do this professionally, but I do all my own work and hate searching for or losing tools. If there is a method I may not know of, I am also open to that. Trying to not throw more money out on carp products. Thanks for your time.
