6 Pc. Hansen Socket Tray Organizer Set 1/4",3/8",1/2"

Socket storage has always been a problem for me. The metal boxes with tapered trays provided with most sockets sets rapidly become a mess, with no way of identifying the socket other than staining one's eyes trying to read the etchings on the side of the socket. This consumes a lot of time.

Hansen has solved all this with a nifty post identification system that I thought would solve my dilemma; however, it fell far short of this goal. Here's some of the problems I've encountered with these socket organizers:

1. They are inflexible, that is, even though my socket sets (I have about a dozen different sets) are complete, there are too many posts, which wastes a lot of space with empty posts on both ends. It would be better if the posts could be added or removed.

2. Some posts are missing, for example, an 11/32 post for 3/8 drive or similar "oddball" socket.

3. Deep sockets are oftentimes too deep for the post, covering up the label...Read more

This made my sockets so much easier to access and organize. I love this tool and am about to buy another set, however it is not without its flaws.

Some of the sockets do not fit on the pin, depending on the brand of socket. The 1/4 tray seems a little flimsy for the tool draw.

The price seems quite high for some plastic trays.

This is by far the best socket organizer that I have seen so far.

Pros: The sizes are well marked on each spool. The tray is made well, and can be picked up with all of the sockets in place over the spools, without fear of breaking the tray.

Cons: A couple of the spools for the smaller size sockets (3/8 in especially) are too fat, and the socket will not go over the spool. There are not enough sizes on the 1/2 in. drive trays. I have a few in-between size sockets. I haven't found any organizer to address this though.

For me, this is best product on the market for organizing sockets.
