Looking for a socket organizer that doesn't waste a lot of space. I don't really like the rails or I would go that route. Basically, I want to be able to fit over 200 sockets in the top (not in a drawer) of my 26"W x 18"D Craftsman toolchest.

I looked at the socket organizers made by Craftsman, but they use 2 drawers for what could easily fit in the space of 1. There is a lot of wasted space between the sockets and between the rows of sockets.

I've considered making my own, but I wanted to see what was out there first. What's everyone got? Numbers (price and # of sockets), dimensions and pics wanted!


Thanks,
Ryan

You can buy them at sears. Don't let the plastic scare you, they are strong (and cheap too in case you do manage to break them)<ul><li><a href="http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+400586+115+4294737366">http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+400586+115+4294737366</a</li></ul>

The metric 1/2" drive tray takes up almost the full width of the top of my box..

I actually just picked some of those up at Sears on sale for $10 each but realized how big they are once I got home.

I bought one set deep one set shallow of sockets from snap on.

These are the ones I use the majority of the time. Most stuff on our cars (or at least 2001) = 8mm,10mm,13mm, 16mm
