> 3 dayThese have no equal on the market. Completely convertible to hold whatever mix of sockets you want by changing the individual clips, and the ball bearing clips make getting the sockets on and off easy, but the sockets will not fall off. They are literally perfect for the application.

Greater than one weekEnd caps could be better, price Is decent. I looked at other options. These seemed best to me. But still room for improvement.

> 3 dayI bought this to use with my existing pegboard. The first thing I noticed is that as soon as you hang it on the pegboard, the plastic end cap comes loose. The end caps slide down to far over the piece. Ideally the opening in the middle of the metal should stuff where the endcap starts but that’s not the case so the end cap comes off every time you hang it up. Without those end caps, the bits will slide off the entire metal piece. They are not snug at all so I don’t have much faith that they will actually stay put for very long. It will be annoying to have to constantly do that.

> 3 dayThe very first line of the ad (above) says Olsa Tools Socket Organizer Trays | 6 Piece 3 Row SAE & Metric Socket Holder... So, correct me if Im wrong... That DOES say 6 piece, right?? And that would be one of the more important reasons that I bought this set... They really are very nice, and well designed... BUT I DID NOT GET 6 PIECES... I GOT 3 PIECES... Id like to know where my OTHER 3 pieces are at... There are a few other sets of similiar socket organizers on here offering 6 pieces for a similiar price... What little GREMLIN that it was telling me to add these 3 pieces out of 6 advertised to my cart, I may never know... But, like most other men in their 50s, I have quite a few MORE sockets than what these 3 rails are going to hold for $27... So, will somebody be sending me the other 3 rails, as advertised, or must I spend another $27 to get the other 3 rails that shouldve been in the package in the first place??? (That would make OLSA executives happy, Im sure)... Should I send these back, and pick another brand with 6 rails??? Should I ???take ONE for the team??? I havent decided yet, but I will update when i finger it out, for sure... GOOD DAY...

> 3 dayIf you’re looking for a review that will convince you to go ahead and press the add to cart or buy button, this is it!! I highly recommend this product due to its high quality build and usefulness. I was able to organize my impact and chrome sockets very comfortably in my tool chest which will make my future automotive jobs much easier as I have easy access to my sockets with this organizer set.

> 3 dayHolds sockets tight, but they are easy to remove. Sockets will slide off end if you hold them vertically. The rubber stops will not prevent larger sockets from sliding off the end. I store mine horizontally so it is not an issue. I like the different colors, and have ordered another set in blue to easily identify metric from standard sockets.

Greater than one week[NOTE: I purchased this product/wrote this review when it was being sold for twenty-nine bucks- which was high already. I now see it listed for forty! As much as I like the product, I would not pay forty bucks for em if they were made of solid gold!.] O-K, I had tried some socket rails from that cheap Chinese tool place [Rhymes with arbor eight]- I mean, how can you screw up something as simple as a socket rail, right? Well, that place can! I needed something else, FAST, for my portable toolbox, as the 80 or so sockets I carry in it were becoming a mess. I didnt want any plastic crap; and I wanted something which would be space efficient, to fit in my skinny socket & ratchet box. Enter these Olsa Tools socket rails. At first, I was put-off by the price- I mean, your tool organizers shouldnt be worth as much or more than the tools that they will be holding, right? But after looking around a bit, I kept coming back to these. I liked the way they look; and I liked the fact that you can buy extra clips for them (Albeit, at extortionist prices), because they NEVER (They being any socket rail manufacturer) give you enough clips on the 1/4 and 3/8 rails.... So I bit the bullet. Well, let me tell you, I LOVE these things! The clips slide easily on the rails, with or without sockets; They look GREAT; The sockets go on and off the clips easily, yet they are held securely, so that they do not fall off. The aluminum rails are sufficiently heavy to be quite durable. Although the clips are plastic, they seem sturdy enough- hopefully they will last. In short,as the other reviews state, these are simply the BEST socket rails I have ever seen. I just wish that they would sell all of the sizes seperately; and that the prices were more reasonable. I think (if Im not mistaken) that these are made in Murica [USA], so naturally, you make something in a country which has the second highest corporate income taxes in the world; high cost of doing business; and very high labor costs, it is going to cost way more than necessary. These things are simple enough that they could be made anywhere, easily for a third or less of the price. As much as I love em, I do think that they are ridiculously priced- so as to discourage most non-pros from buying them. But I am glad that I bought them, and will be buying more in the future (You cant go back....). But Cmon! $7 just for a little baggy with 6 extra clips in it?! I do wish Olsa Tools great success with these, and do hope that they will lower the price in the future, as well as offer these in various colors, such as green, blue and gold. (Not only for aesthetics, but that way, you could use one color for metric sockets; one for standard, etc.). In time, I guess Ill get over having to spend nearly $80 bucks to organize 80 sockets (In a toolbox which is older than I am!)- Im sure that my 25 year old Craftsman sockets appreciaye it though, and I have to say, these things really fancy-up my otherwise crappy portable tool set! Most of all though, my sockets are readily and easily accessible, which is the important thing, and theyre not falling all over the place and getting lost, nor ending up loose in my toolbox. tl;dr version: A quality (albeit expensive) product which works great.
