Looks nice, and keeps a limited number of sockets organized, but it lacks portability. Craftsman magnetic holders or Hansen socket trays, (also available at Sears), have more capacity and you can take them where the work is.

I bought the HF one with pegs. I’m not sure how happy I am with it. It works as advertised and pretty cheap, but the pegs are pretty short and a tad small, so the sockets don’t fit as snuggly as they should. Also, the size is pretty big. I was looking for a rolling cabinet to place it in on the Sears website and only the big ones had drawers deep enough to fit the board.

I have these inserts and generally they do as they are advertised. I don’t like two things though. One, I have several craftsman socket sets and but they still don’t fill most of the holes, so I can’t tell by site what sockets are missing. Two, the trays for ratchets and extensions are more of an after thought. Only shorter 3/8″ inch ratchet and shorter extensions, 9″ or less fit in the tray. you have to store your 1/2″ ratchets and extensions in another drawer.

I saw this and almost bought it. Then I saw HF had the same-ish thing for $10.

I bought 2, one for deep wells and one for shorties. They have another type with pegs on it to stick the sockets on.
