I recently purchased a craftsman starter tool kit for my 17 year old son's birthday. I explained to him how important having tools and the skill to use them are in his journey through life. His reply

I've used both the magnetic rack you can carry around and the stand that sits in the tool box. you can see both styles on the griots garage web site, or at sears. the only complaint I have with eithe

My dad bought me a S-K socket set plus a few other tools when I headed off for college at 17 in 1974. I still have most of that set though I mostly use Craftsman now. They are treasures. Mark Noakes

For carrying in my tool box my favorite organizer is a plastic holder with a handle on one end. It is magnetized and holds the sockets in it when you carry it around. (they will pop loose if you drop

I very much prefer socket rails, with springy clip things, for sockets that I carry around. It makes it very easy to grab the 3/8" drive standard set, and know I've got a complete set. It's also easy

there's a substantial difference in the quality of the clips, I find. Most of my rails are Snap-On, as they're what the sockets come on. These work much better than the crappy ones I got from horribl

yeah, mine are all snap-on rails (or at least snap-on sockets were that they were holding). I think the problem we have here is the rust as much as anything. it's so humid here the clips rust, and th

After years of those stamped metal things that the sockets "stick" on, I found one at Sears I really like (Lowes has them too) -- it's a plastic tray with a post sticking up for each size socket. The

I've got those in my portable toolbox. They're quite a lot better than the old style springy metal clips. In the shop/trailer toolbox I use the magnetic holders (with the handles cut off). I wouldn'

This is kind of old fashioned, but I've found (at least for me) that the best socket holders are the metal trays that sockets sets used to come in. My old Craftsman sockets are in such trays, but the

Hi Tony, I use the wire loop bracket peg board hangers. It is a great way to see what you have from across the room, but it doesn't help you take several over to the work area. I find myself walking

I have to agree with David. I have the metal rails with the little metal clips. Yes they rust, and yes getting sockets off/on and seeing what size they are can be a pain. But that can be fixed with t
