Magnetic Socket Organizer
Our magnetic socket organizer with marked socket sizes is one of the best tool organization ideas on this list and one of our best selling products. You can get it with two or three rows, for an ultimate storage solution. It clearly labels each spot, making for quick identification of the right socket (or that missing socket). The strong ferrite magnet base keeps the sockets in the tray and the tray attached to any steel surface, even upside down.
In addition, the rubberized magnetic base is scratch-free to avoid damage to the surface where you place the tray, saving space in the toolbox and drawer, and avoiding having sockets on the loose. You can choose between metric and SAE sizes, and pick between a 1, 3, or 6-piece socket organizers to hold multiple sets of impact or chrome sockets.
Cr-Mo Impact Sockets
Impact guns are constantly being used in workshops and garages; therefore, impact sockets are a great Christmas gift for mechanics and an excellent complement for impact drivers. The Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) in our 1/2 drive impact sockets is perfectly suited to be used with impact drivers because it creates shatter-resistant steel that makes these sockets perfect to be used during intense impact load applications. They feature both large font size stamping and high visibility laser-etched markings so that you can quickly and easily identify the socket you need. As with our chrome sockets, these also come in SAE and Metric in both shallow and deep, with the most frequent sizes included.
