Not 'xactly on topic but close:
I spent a few decades frustrated with socket storage. I tried all sorts of
trays and sticks and boxes and hated every one. One day at a surplus store,
I spotted a pile of big, bakery-sized muffin pans. These were heavy tough
steel for continous duty and made for BIG muffins.
I bought one and trimmed it to push fit a large drawer in a Craftsman poll
around tool box.
Here's the trick that has been fantastic: Every size socket has it's own
compartment, regardless of the drive size. For instance, in the 1/2" inch
cup are 1/2" sockets of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch drive. At the small end,
several 1/4" drive sizes have their own cup and so do the larger 1/2" drive
ones. The trick is that I go to the box looking for the nut or bolt size
socket and here a cup full of THAT size socket . . I can then pick out the
most suitable drive size from 1/4 to 1/2 and the handle required . . works
great for me.
