ARES 60038 - Black 80-Piece Socket Organizer - 1/4-Inch, 3/8-Inch, and 1/2-Inch Drive Socket Rails Hold 80 Sockets and Keep Your Tool Box Organized

Works. Well designed and good quality.

Very well made and sockets clip in nicely. Only complaint is that you can only remove the clips on one side of the rows. I have had to take off entire rows of sockets to get to the left over clips on the other side. Other than that they seem to work well.

I do like it. I kinda wish there were handles at both ends, but then it would sag. I had to try what I read and turned it upside down with half-inch drive deep-wells and nothing fell off. I even shook it. When you hang it by one end, nothing slides down, due to the friction lock. First thing I did was to cut off the little push-down tabs so I could slide all the nubs off at once. It fits the whole half-inch section of the Craftsman 299 pc. socket set like it was made for it.

All the corners were curled up along with the edge of a side. I wasn’t about to cry about it, i straightened it out and Called it a day. BUT in the process all the paint on the parts I bent back was lost.

UPDATED 9/16/20: I purchased the 80 piece on Dec 9, 2018 and I have been very happy with it since. Now I need a second one for additional socket pieces and a hex 3/8 drive set and so I bought another one just on 4/28/20. I have these for 21 months. No issues with it in any way so far. I am probably an average user as I have the socket holder in my bench drawer and only need to take it out of the drawer to work elsewhere maybe once per week at most. I gave durability a 4 only because I have not used it very long enough to verify “durability”. I would not call it durable if it hadn’t lasted at least 3-4 years with my use. I also gave the lock feature a 4 instead of 5 because I think they can do better. But again, so far so good. I had to swap out almost all of the ½” and ¼” clips with 3/8” since that is what I use. CLIPS: Speaking of which, that is my big gripe. It takes nothing to put the clips on. We should be able to choose 4 sets of any size we like. How hard is that??? Thankfully some of the other manufacturers clips fit. I bought 2 packs of 24 clips from Olsa when I purchased my first socket organizer and then I ordered another 24 pack at the same time I ordered my second ARES socket organizer on 4/28/20. They work perfectly. But thats crap! I should be able to choose what I need - and that goes for all the makers of these multi-socket holders or I would definitely have marked Ares down at least 1 star. Now I have a bag full of 1/4s and 1/2 clips that are worthless to me, but which I had to pay for. Just FYI, the exact measurements of the organizer are 6 x 17. With the 1.5 handle (5” wide), total length is 18.5. Height is 1 height with 1/2 socket clips. Precise measurements are: 5 17/16 x 17, and the handle: 4 4/8 x 1.5.

Its a great product for sockets but I would suggest thin wall. I tried putting all my ½ drive impact sockets on but you run out of room and you left with some left over holders that are squished together

Exactly what I was looking for to organize my tool box. The modular design make this ideal for any tool box and allows you to customize it to your liking. Great product!

It just seemed a bit cheap and the holders were clunky.

its nice when ppl say how cool it is, or how much they like it... but All that really matters is how much I love it. Saves me so much time, hassle, frustration. So priceless when fixing the unexpected. Its like those snickers commercials in that it prevents you from losing your mind and hulking out when you cant find sockets. People cant un-see that kind of frustration and they have no clue where its coming from, so if you deal with the public in any form, then organization is a must.

I got is for my tool box and had not had any problems out of it
