[Shop-talk] Socket organizers?

I've had the magnetic racks and the pinned type both.  Got rid of them 
eventually.

The pinned rack type is almost nice in a shop where you roll your 
cabinet around everywhere and never work of a table or in the driveway.  
Otherwise, you're trying to carry around handfuls of sockets, and that 
gets old real fast. 

The magnetic ones don't hold securely, especially larger deep wall 
sockets.  Turn the carrier over and they fall out.  I found that most 
agravating. 

So I end up back at my racks of spring loaded clips, and some 
specialized socket trays.  The harborfreight ones are cheap, so I don't 
mind cutting them to specific lengths.
