[Shop-talk] Socket holders

[Arvid Jedlicka]

Had the metal sticks for many years and finally threw them away due to rust, hard to add and remove sockets, cut fingers, etc.

Then switched to these ...

I liked them but they do seem to take up a lot of space in the drawer. There is some space between each of the sockets and it does 
not lend itself will to putting several sockets of the same size right next to one another.

Then found these ...

which are the plastic version of the metal stick. I am assuming they will not rust, seem to be the most efficient in use of space, 
sockets are easy to put on and take off but appear strong enough to not fall off, seem to be sturdy enough, you can get extra posts, 
etc.

Not normally a big Craftsman fan, but these seem to do the job quite well.
