(More customer reviews)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. Some sockets will not even fit on the posts, though the label say it will.
4. Sockets aren't handled delicately, but these organizers are, and I don't believe these thin posts will hold up to rough useage. It's only a matter of time before they break.
5. These things should sell for a few dollars each, not ten or more, given their plastic composition.
All in all, I believe it would be better to drill a neat row of holes in a piece of plywood that fits your tool box and pound in short lengths of wooden dowel pins, 1/2 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/4 inch, with their ends cut at an angle and labeled.
