OEMTOOLS22233 Tool Storage Organizer for SAE and Metric Socket, 6PC Socket Organizers for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Drive Sockets, Optimize Toolbox Organization

These socket holders work very well and look really nice. In the reviews you’ll notice the negative comments mention that their sockets don’t fit. That’s true, A few of my sockets didn’t fit either, but I don’t believe it’s the socket holders, but the sockets themselves. The sockets that didn’t fit, all didn’t fit in the same way. The skinny part of the socket holder didn’t fit through the thru hole of the socket. The thru hole of the socket is not a critical part of the socket, and therefore will probably very in size. I drilled the thru hole of my sockets just a hair bigger and they fit on the holders just fine. These are great looking holders and I’d recommend them to anybody, and offer them the same solution as well.

I like how the sizes are easy to read and they come with plenty of room for your sockets. You should put them on the poles with the drive side up for them to fit properly. Some of the poles on the 1/4 drive stand were too wide for my smaller sized sockets. Need to drill out the inside to get them to fit. My only complaint was that the 1/2 socket poles for the deep wells were too tall for my socket drawer. I just cut them down to fit. No issues. I will say if you can find an old Socket Logic tray jump on that and forget these.

OEM has some great tools for the price point. These seem well built and sturdy, will do the job for sure. Very happy with the purchase

These are perfect and would definitely buy again

Works great

Starting with a clean slate after a devastating tornado, I bought a huge Quinn 428pc “master tech” tool set to build off of. At first I thought it was ideal that the tools came in plastic bags since I was filling out a new tool cart and didn’t need a bunch of blow-molded cases, but at least most cases can be turned into trays for a tool drawer. I badly needed organizers but I quickly realized that I could spend as much organizing sockets and wrenches as I did on the tools themselves.Hesitant to spend much on socket organizers, I tried cheap socket rails instead. What a nightmare! Next, I found a good deal on a bunch of magnetic socket organizers (flea market find) but they ended up being a huge waste of space with no good way to fit the cart. I gave up on the tool cart and upgraded to a 61” workbench tool chest but it was still hard to fit/arrange all my magnetic organizers… and they were still a waste of space.Finally, I broke down and got the knock-off U.S. General version of these plastic peg-style organizers… only to find that I could get the real OEM Tools brand for significantly less on Amazon. This gave me the opportunity to compare before returning the knock-offs to Harbor Freight.While waiting for the OEM Tools organizers I went ahead and loaded up the US General trays and found that a few sockets don’t fit well. The hole through the socket is simply smaller than the peg, though the tapered shape of the peg allows some to seat half way. Yes, I am installing them correctly, hex side down, which might not be obvious. Now, I saw similar complaints in the OEM brand Amazon reviews so I didn’t expect them to eliminate or improve fitment issues.I started moving the 1/4” drive SAE sockets because one socket (9/16” deep well) didn’t fit the USGeneral… but it fits the OEM even worse since the socket sits higher off the peg. Two more no longer fit at all (3/16” deep and 7/32” deep). I see where some people drill out their sockets but I think I’d much rather file the plastic peg.The OEM pegs are simply bigger than they are for the same size on the USGen organizer tray. Obviously, you can only make the peg diameter so small before they are too thin and fragile. It seems USGen fits more sockets, perhaps sacrificing a bit of durability.OEM’s 3/4” drive SAE tray fit all the same sockets as the USGen did but the two that didn’t fit either sit slightly better (lower) on the USGen. The 1/2” drive SAE sockets all transferred over with no additional fitment issues. My only issue with the metric stuff was 3/4” drive where two of the sockets only fit USGen (10mm deep and 12mm deep).The space savings over my magnetic organizers is tremendous. The cost saving over US General is enough that I can tolerate a few more sockets that don’t fit. Knowing that I would’ve just 3D printed something before the tornado ruined my workshop made spending the money on plastic a tough pill to swallow… but the first step to getting the workshop going again is tooling up. Maybe now I can get some 3D printers rolling again.Another difference: US General trays are slightly longer than the OEM Tools trays.

I bought this socket organizer because I liked the ease of access and clear visual markings on it. I desperately needed a organizer to get my newly purchased toolbox under control. I am a weekend/diy mechanic but needed to get organized as I would always spend most of my time looking for tools in random boxes instead of working on my car. Upon arrival of the organizer, I was shocked at just how many sockets I was missing. It was driving me absolutely crazy looking at the incomplete set and empty pegs. Turns out all of my socket rails had several skips and it would cost a small fortune to buy the missing sockets individually. Luckily, I found a company called olsa tools and they sell affordable full socket rails without skips. They also sell a complete set to fill the entire organizer. Every individual rail they sell has every socket size to fill each line of pegs in the organizer. It sucks that I had to drop several hundred dollars replacing the sockets I already had but it is so satisfying to open my socket drawer and see this organizer full. One thing to mention is 2 or the largest olsa 1/2 deep drive SAE sockets would not fit on the pegs. Easy fix with a little sandpaper on the pegs of the organizer and it slid right on. One additional suggestion I would make would be that I wish the plastic was a bit thicker on the base. My toolbox stays in one place and sometimes I like to grab the whole tray and move it to where I'm working. It has a tendency to bow in the middle on the 3/8 and 1/2 drive because of the weight. Overall, I love this organizer even though it costed me wayyy more than anticipated. Be warned, not for OCD people. 10/10 would recommend.
