You could easily put two rows of sockets on each of those pieces of wood. You are wasting too much space.

I have 12 Harbor Freight clamps. I checked their function before leaving the store. 6 years and they work fine. I don't tighten them as tight as possible because its not needed. Just be smart and don't buy the ones that don't look or work right at the store. If your are inpatient and rich, go for the fancy ones. If not, just use the tools you have within their functional capacity.

I like the approach and the explanation, thank you. My question is, do the tools get magnetized over time and start collecting all the metal dust in the shop?

This could have EASILY been a 5 minute video!! 10 minutes of babbling!!

Thanks for the video, I always used Oscillating Tool and takes for ever.

I would love to know the measurements of the holder you built in this video

I'm going to try this in my entryway on Friday. 160 sq ft. Looks promising and will save me ton of time and money if it works. Thanks for this video! keep ya posted

Apparently, someone commercialized your idea. Hope it was you. ua-cam.com/video/ZOFxh_V9GDM/v-deo.html

I have used these Neodymium magnets for many projects. What I can say is they are subject to damage. The coating flakes off and they chip and break easily. My suggestion would be to glue a piece of cloth or thin felt on top of the magnets to cushion the impact of the socket when you put them in your holder. As a Mechanic, I have to agree with you, I have been using the metal socket holders for years and they SUCK! As you state the sockets can be a bear to get off. But the kicker is after a few months they won't hold the sockets on at all and you are picking your sockets up off the floor constantly. Interesting project. I may try something like this. Thank you for posting.

I like your design the best (no one comes close) on both wrench and socket holders. The only way to improve your design is to use CAD software and use a cnc router to route out plywood panels. A cnc router would make production of these holders much faster and would allow for easy creative design changes without a lot of work. I would like to make these holders as Xmas gifts to sell at Craft shows. If these could be produced cheaply competing with Amazon's extremely expensive versions would be easy... I followed your advice and found socket labels/stickers on Amazon which would improve identification of each socket greatly... My moto for turning sixty-five years old is: I cannot see, hear, or remember, but these sticker labels will help....

you have far too much time on yer hands. ya can great holder for this purpose really Cheap !

For those of us that can't measure, and couldn't tell a table saw from a tabletop.... Do you make these for sale? Say if a person sent you a wrench kit, and you returned a holder? I looked on Etsy for a woodworker, no luck.

The US General 18 inch Magnetic Knife and Tool Holder 60433 is often on sale for $2.

thank you for sharing the information. very good ideas

Looks great. I hate those metal clip holders too. There is more room for an extension or two.

Best I've seen. I have the cheap socket rails and don't really like them. I have them hanging on my peg board, but now it looks like their days will end soon.

I don't put the carrying handles in the middle as one end is heavier than the other. I take a few seconds to determine the balance point and put the handles at that point. :)

Excellent project and result, nice presentation! I am going to build one for myself. Thank you.

Why not just use the metal socket holder you already have? That system seems to work fine for me, just make sure to put them back where they belong, Helllloooo!

looks great…but the width of the wood you are using is way to wide, takes up far too much real-estate in the drawer.

Could you let us know how that system worked out in around six months?

Ya! More stuff in the drawers! Lol!

I use chopsticks!

I like it!

Just like all my stuff! I have it but i should have started looking for it yesterday!

Nice work, great idea. Labels are essential as everyone’s near vision worsens over the years

You just saved me the cost of a jamb saw

Great Idea and seem simple and cheap. Thx for the idea

The ideas on this channel are genius! Hope more is coming!!!!

I like these! The issue I have with the socket organizer is the sockets are upside down. If you turn the drive side up, you find the socket you want, then just put your ratchet right into the hole, no removal needed. Right from holder to ratchet!

This is great im gonna use this on my portable tool box

Really like both your socket and wrench holder builds! Probably the best working and looking out there! Some people might feel it is too much work, but I think they are something that will be great to pass on to my kids.

Could not the sockets just hold on to the magnet without using the second board with holes?

This is GREAT! They're portable; easy to access, and versatile! I'm gonna make some! Thanks for such a great idea!

Looks great👍

Very nice. I would also add a label with the drive size, lined up with the ratchet, eg. "1/4 inch drive".

Maybe slow down the camera movement so one can absorb the picture.

Does anyone have any recommendations for garage shops during the winter or would this still work well.

I kinda like the solution even if it seems a bit more than necessary. I would have liked to see how you handle deep sockets and it seems like you need some extension bars on that one rail you made. Anyways good ideas....thanks for sharing.

Do you think an air intake in the opposite side of the garage would be better as it seems your intake and outtake air are too close?

Great idea

Hi very nice ❤

Thank you very much!

a lot more complicated for my first diy sanding block than i anticipated trying, but i really like this design. i could make some adjustments to make room for what i have and work from there. thanks bubs, for giving me a very interesting but useful challenge, wish me luck :p

Bought bar magnets from Harbor Freight. Screw to wall put the sockets on, done in fifteen minutes.

Yes, please share how this journey went (since we didn't get to accompany you after all).

video still going strong! I'm building a french cleat wall right now and am going to use your locking idea. Thanks!

We’ve got an area exactly like this in master bath 2nd floor over front door. Always wanted just what you illustrated. Thanks!

The world is waiting to see how this turned out...

Hey, add a spot above your ratchets for an extension and wobbly.
