1/2-Inch Drive Aluminum Socket Organizer | Professional Quality Socket Holder (Red) | by Olsa Tools

I have at least a dozen of these Olsa holders in my roll away. They work great for me.

I bought these to make a socket drawer for my new tool box. The fit and finish is great! The sockets stay on and dont need excessive pulling to get them off. Im happy with my purchase and plan to buy more

Bought these for my toolbox and they work great. They fit all of my sockets and I have extra clips if they break. They’re pretty sturdy and heavy.

Over the years my automotive tool collection has expanded to fill several tool chests, boxes, portable cases and tool rolls. When my family gave me an early Christmas present of a beautiful rolling tool chest, I decided that for the first time in my life I would organize all of my most frequently-used tools in this 11-drawer chest. Which naturally led to the question, which socket organizer is best? In the past, I’ve used a combination of standard steel spring-clip rails, plastic tool box trays, and the plastic and metal trays that some of my socket sets came in. I’ve never been totally happy with any of them, especially the spring-clip rails, which make removing and reinstalling sockets too fiddly and time-consuming. I wanted something better. I was surprised at the number of options! My research led me to various trays and rails from Ernst, VIM Tools MagRails, Westling Machine Co., Triton Products, Hansen Global, Lisle, Armstrong, Goliath Industrial, Sears Craftsman, Snap-On, Husky, Mac Tools, Tekton, Kobalt, Cornwell, Matco, Protoco, Mechanics Time Saver, Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Tooluxe, Ullman, Grip, BenPro Tools, ML Tools, Green Tool, Mag-Clip, MTS, Neiko Tools, Titan, and others. This research helped me develop a list of features I wanted in my new socket rails: Vertical socket mounting to maximize the number of sockets per drawer; Adjustable clip spacing to maximize the number of sockets per rail; The ability to mix 1/2”, 3/8” and 1/4” sockets on the same rail; The availability of additional clips for customizing rails; Easy one-hand withdrawal and replacement of the socket on the clip; A secure grip on the sockets so they won’t rattle or fall off; The ability to mount the rails at the spacing of my choosing; An affordable price, since I need a lot of rails. I decided three common features could be useful but were not mandatory for me: color-coded rails for metric and SAE size sockets; magnetic mounting of the rail and/or sockets; and size labeling for each socket. Color-coding is handy, but since I rarely use SAE sockets anymore I can just physically segregate those sockets or even put them in a different drawer. Magnetic mounting of the rails and/or sockets is handy, but many of the magnetic rails do not have adjustable socket spacing or limit the number of sockets to too few per rail for my needs. Size labeling could be handy, but none of the pre-labeled rails included the full range of socket sizes I needed, and since I’m fairly good at eyeballing socket size after years of practice, I know I can live without labels. So what did I choose? The socket rails from Olsa Tools met all of my requirements, including affordability, and are available in blue for my metric sockets and red for my SAE sockets. They’re not only of excellent professional quality but are very attractive, so it’s a pleasure to open my socket drawers. They hold sockets securely, but it’s easy to remove and replace a socket with one hand. The socket spacing is adjustable, and it’s easy to mix socket drive sizes on the same rail for things like Torx and Allen bit sets, and extra clips are available in groups of 6 or 10. And the pricing is surprisingly affordable compared to most of the other professional-quality options. I’ve ordered 15 rails so far and may be ordering more as I progress in my organization. I received friendly, personal communication from a company representative who thanked me for my orders, and I couldn’t be happier with the customer service. If Olsa Tools were to offer the options of size labels and magnetic tape for mounting the rails to ferrous surfaces, these might be the most perfect socket rails available at any price. But as they are, they’re still the best I know of, and that’s saying a lot. Highly recommended!

These have no equal on the market. Completely convertible to hold whatever mix of sockets you want by changing the individual clips, and the ball bearing clips make getting the sockets on and off easy, but the sockets will not fall off. They are literally perfect for the application.

The rails are solid and I havent had any problems with the plastic clips...yet. They are plastic in a metal world so I do expect they will break at some point in time. If you plan to place these rails in a toolbox or in a cabinet, expect the end caps to never stay in place and your sockets to spill out into your toolbox. Poor design to have soft endcaps that only have light friction to hold the clips from sliding off the end. To fix the problem, I found a video showing someone putting a screw through the hole in the rail and into the back of the clip at each end of the rail. I tried it and it works like a charm. Predrill the hole in the back of the clip before putting the screw in to make the job easy and quick.

Really happy with this socket holder. Very sturdy and holds sockets in place. Will definitely buy more

I ordered 1/4 and 3/8. I received 3/8 in the 1/4 labeled boxes and received 1/2 in the 3/8 labeled boxes... Great product, poor shipping/quality control.
