Having tools scattered all around the workstation and making it look like a dumpster is an old trend which is moving out of trend at a very fast pace. In fact, hardly would one find a workstation or garage that does not have at least one toolbox or for the more in trend ones, multiple tool organizers. No, a toolbox isn’t the same as a tool organizer.
A Tool Organizer Is Not a Toolbox
A toolbox as the name implies is a chest or big box where all tools are kept with no form of proper arrangement, most times but a tool organizer is a more recent tool storage system that allows the tools to be stored in an orderly fashion and are more portable and easier to transport than the toolbox.
Variations and Functions of Tool Organizers
There are many variations of the tool organizer and they include screwdriver holders, magnetic wrench holders and tool trays. All of these organizers are used for specific tools and can allow multiple of the same type of tool be arranged. Tool organizers are better and more suitably recommended than the conventional toolbox as it eliminates the constant search of small tools like sockets and screw heads from the huge pile of bigger tools. The tool organizers also allow storage of items according to their sizes.
What Are Sockets?
Sockets are small tools that are attached to a driving tool via a screw drive to fasten or unfasten a bolt. A driving tool, wrench or ratchet, is used with a socket to produce the needed amount of torque to loosen or fasten a bolt. Different bolt and screw types require different types of sockets and as a result, numerous sockets are used in the workstation or garage.
Different Socket Sizes
Sockets are available in metric and inch sizes and also in small and long length variations. The two main types are impact socket and specialty sockets; they are so named based on their effectiveness. Due to the numerous types of sockets available for use, a socket holder has always been a top requirement.
