Uh-huh.... +1 on that!

<raises hand> I couldn't write that either, luckily, I don't yet own
a 25/32" socket! Plus, if you did, you'd have to shift everyone over
one space and would need to re-write bunches. I've just had to
replace a "20" with "21" a couple times. The Grip ones may be better
for this - never seen them in person though.

Plastic rails. Either big $ for the ernst ones (that are reversible)
or the HF ones for cheap that do everything (except reverse). HF &
Sears uses a ball-bearing to hold the socket, ernst uses the bent
plastic lever. I have an ernst for the u-pull-it bag - since I can
fit 25 sockets on the rail. That way, I have one rail to pull out of
the bag and I have all the sockets I've brought. For the garage, I
use Sears rails.
Cheers!
