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

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

Im the type of guy that builds small to medium sized tool boxes for dedicated purposes. A go bag for each hobby essentially. But as life went along I got rid of some of my hobbies and it just made sense to consolidate. This here socket holder has had a big part in that. Initially I bought one. How foolish... Ive got two now with several additional clip purchases. lol. Yeah, expect to buy more clips. Speaking of which, the 3/8 clips have held onto my assortment of heavy sparkplug sockets without a fuss. They also store the ridiculous amount of 10mm (5) and 1/2 (7) sockets I have just fine. As youd expect, this 80 socket model does get rather heavy when you load it up completely. Not much you can do about that. The convenience factor of being able to move that many sockets at once is undeniable though. I use to store my sockets on individual rails or in whatever holder the sockets came in. This definitely feels superior, though I wouldnt put this 80 socket contraption on the concrete when Im under a car. For me, its too big and heavy and tends to get in the way as it just doesnt want to move. Seems there is one manufacturer of this specific model. Ares, Mechan Tools, OEMTools, and Olsa from the looks of things are all distributing the same item. Definitely a well built product.

I just wish I had purchased more than 1. I have a lot of sockets which will end up on this rail. It’s simple once you decide how to organize your sockets. This makes it easy to move a set around vs having a bunch of those steel rails that have the clips break or bend and fall off. This cleaned up one side of my tool box. A few more and I’ll be set.

Overall, this is a high-quality set that holds all my sockets firmly. However, I had to take one star off as the product description is not accurate (the picture is). Each tray comes with 24 1/2, 12 3/8, and 12 1/4 holders. It is simple enough to replace, but would have been better to know in advance.

I bought 3 of these for the main drive types, and it holds over 30 lbs. daily and can still hold it vertically without anything falling off. I carry it from my main box to my tear down cart every day.

So Ive dropped this product off a bench onto the concrete floor and nothing happen to this little beast. Of course I was chasing sockets around like a kitten with a laser pointer taped to their head. But I havent had any issue with this product. Its easy to get sockets on n off and it fits in your standard tool box tray.

I am pleased with how it helps me keep my sockets organized and that I can pick it up by the handle and carry them vertically and they stay attached. It fits easily in my stand tool chest draw. I havent had it long enough to access its durability, but am happy so far.

The holders are tight fitting each socket & very easy to spread apart. There are more than enough holding studs for both regular & deep sockets for standard & metric. When fully loaded it is still very sturdy.

This organizer is nice. I ordered another set of 3/8 holders for my sets. Converted easily. Very handy to have all sockets in one organizer.

Holds up just as good as Matco
