[DeTomaso] Socket Organizer Recommendations

[Sean Korb]

I've never liked those.  I think it's a personal thing though; I'm always
struggling to twist it off (they don't twist) or pull the socket with
greasy fingers or... ugh.  But most of the ones like that I've used were
the metal kind, those plastic knobs with the ball bearing would probably be
better.

I like magnets.  It takes up more real estate but it's easier to grab and
see what you want

The in line ones are okay too, but I like the way these drop in
vertically.  I keep all my swivel sockets on the above referenced.

I keep most of my sockets in these and they're fine, but I like the one
above much better.
