Which type socket holder works best in a tool chest?

[ultrarunner]

In the service truck the magnet holders work best for me.

In the shop I took a different approach with Craftsman sockets bought about 40 years ago in a molded case.

I used the bandsaw to trim the case to fit the drawers…

So far so good.

I use this style.

They release pretty easy unless the socket drawer is left open and collects dust and grit. I like how easy it is to customize my set up or rearrange to add new sockets.

For the old stationary toolbox, even the normally pesky steel socket holders work - since they're riveted in place.

Like magnetic better.
Go to Amazon.
Search Casoman.
Their magnetic socket holders are top notch.
I own quite a few of them.

All I have are the Snap-On metal rails with the clips (old school).

And in two more months you’ll finally have the Snap on tool paid for.
