> 3 dayI had put up with stainless steel socket organizers for years as they seemed to be the only option. The spring clips often were too tight or not tight enough, the edges of the bar were sharp and it was difficult to add or remove the spring clips. I decided to take a chance on the Olsa Tools aluminum organizer. I now have six of them! What is unique is that the socket clip is a plastic material with a spring loaded ball keeper, pretty much like your socket wrench. The aluminum bar allows the clips to attach along a grove in each side so even when the organizer is on the workbench the clips move easily left and right making it easier to remove and attach a socket. Design is excellent and materials are durable. I will be buying more. BTW Olsa Tools offers the clips in green and black and you can buy just the clips! I intend to have my metric sockets on green clips and standard sockets on black clips for easy and quick differentiation in a semi lite work areas.

20-11-2024The socket holder is well made. The extruded aluminum rail is sturdy enough to hold 1/2 drive sockets without flexing or bending. The anodized finish is a nice touch and comes in various colors. Overall a good product. p.s. the card included in the box says you get 10% discount on next order for subscribing to their newsletter. Once you sign up for the newsletter you get only a 5% discount on next order.

> 3 dayI wish the end caps could be better affixed to the rails, but it really hasnt presented any issue. I REALLY like having the color options, to make it easy to grip the correct rail. I know my metric 3/8 drive sockets are on a red rail, while my SAE 1/4 sockets are on a blue rail, and so on. These are not garbage. I would buy again.

> 3 dayI bought a large socket set years ago from a big box retailer. The case they came in did not hold them secure so every time Id open it many of the sockets were floating around the case and out of order. These Olsa socket holders are a very high quality set. I bought the set of three (one for each size sockets). I liked them so much, and had so many sockets to organize, that I bought two more sets of three. Now all my sockets are in order and stored neatly in my tool chest. Very highly recommended. If I had to find something to constructively criticize, it might be simply that the rubber end pieces might eventually crack and not stay on. If that were to happen, the socket holders could theoretically fall off. But they dont slide on their own so I dont think that will be a problem. I really like them. I would like to maybe see different colors of anodized aluminum (maybe a blue set?). That way I could have SAE as one color and Metric as another. Five stars and a repeat buyer. Looking at their other offerings now for even more tool organization.

> 3 dayI cant give this a 5 star rating, but there is one engineering problem with this - the end pieces are little rubber blocks, this is fine and dandy with 1/4 inch and maybe 3/8 inch sockets, but with 3/4 inch sockets, well they weigh a bunch more and those wont hold them on. So if you tip it, the sockets may fall off of the rail. It doesnt bother me for my use, but I have had them pop off of the rail several times now. It may get annoying for other folks who have to handle the rail more.

> 3 dayOrder: 2x Red 3 pack for my SAE sockets. Color: Fantastic, bright (definitely not pinkish). Bar: Very sturdy and sockets retention is strong My biggest complaint is I feel ripped off on the clips. You can order a single bar or a 3 bar set, but both options only include half the number of clips each bar has capacity for. As you can see from my picture for example the 1/4” bar will hold 36 clips pretty easily. You can buy clips separately from OSLO but they are quite costly. So why does each tray comes with roughly 1/2 the amount they can hold? These clips are very inexpensive to manufacture, very inexpensive. Including so few clips is a major disadvantage for those of us who have larger tool sets. I have +60 sockets for each size so it’s either pay for extra clips or buy another 3 piece set, which I ended up doing. Love the product, hate the price and package combination options. $13 for single bar with a few clips, $12 for just a few clips, or $26 for 3 bars with a few clips each. Touch choice for me and even if you bought a small socket set, which usually includes it’s own organizer. At the end of the day I’m very happy with the look and very impressed by the quality. If I didn’t know for a fact that those clips cost less than $0.30 each to manufacture I’d flip over backwards for this product. Unfortunately the seller’s choice in grouping/packaging the items leaves me feeling much less excited about the purchase.

> 3 dayBest socket holder set I have ever owned! I love that you can easily remove either of the rubber ends and slide off the individual socket holders so you can customize to match your set if you have a mixed socket set. They have a slot for optional wall mount but I chose to keep them in the drawers. Highly recommend to anyone looking to clean up and organize their sets!
