Metric Socket Rack Set (3-Piece)

Feels like that it is going to be broken anytime soon. But it had a reduced price .

The Husky 3 piece socket rack set does a great job keeping sockets organized both in drive size with the 3 different sized trays (1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" drive) and also ordered large to small (left to right). I love how the pegs stick above the sockets so you can read the size, saves time getting the right size the first time. The trays are sturdy to pick up and walk around with, but I dont plan to move them from my tool box too often since they are made of plastic and the sockets are heavy. Bottom line, this is a great way to store and keep sockets organized and still be able to quickly find and grab ehat you need. I am very pleased with my purchase!

SUMMARY: A nice set, comparable to others on the market. BACKGROUND: I have well over 100 metric sockets in different drive sizes and type. Organizing them has always been a concern. I have tried keeping them loose in tools drawers, on different tool rails, on magnetic racks, and in socket racks. The Husky Metric Socket Rack Set looked like it would help organize them. FIT AND FINISH: The material, construction, and appearance seem comparable to other similar products I already own. FEATURES: From the Home Depot page, with my comments as appropriate. • Includes 3 racks designed for 1/4 in., 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. drive sizes, which hold 26, 30 and 34 sockets total, respectively. o Each rack has the most common sizes and the posts are tall enough to stick above sockets so you can quickly identify the size you want to pull. • Fits standard or deep sockets down over the pegs and use the size markers printed on each pegs top to find the right socket for any fastener. • Vertical storage design allowing for storage in limited space o This is true, to some extent, for this type of socket rack. But they are not the most compact method for storing sockets. Socket rails are much more compact. • Sturdy, break resistant pegs for durability o These aren’t unbreakable, but they are ok for use in a tool chest drawer. • Pegs have size marking for easy socket identification o This is the best feature of this style of socket rack. The pegs stick up proud of the socket and the size is stamp/painted onto the end. Easy to see at a glance. • 1/4 in. drive peg size range from 4.5 mm to 15 mm o Some smaller sockets would not fit over the posts, but they were cheaper sockets. • 3/8 in. drive peg size range from 6 mm to 20 mm • 1/2 in. drive peg size range from 10 mm to 27 mm • Lifetime warranty with no questions, no receipt required o This is another good selling point for the Husky brand. Bring a broke tool in and they will give you a new one. INSTALLATION/USE: I took sockets from several other types of socket holders and populated the holders. They fit into my metric socket/driver drawer well. It is much easier to pull out the socket I need now without having to grab one and read it to get the right one. The downside is, with multiples of the common sockets (10 mm) this type of rack has no way to keep them together. So, I still end up with multiple holders. At least I can grab the first one without looking to hard. On the downside, these take up more drawer space than socket rails. And the ½” drive rack needs at least a 4” deep drawer. SUMMARY: This helped me organize my metric sockets much better than they were. I think it will work for me. PROS: Easy to read, sturdy CONS: Needs 4” drawer, takes up room, some smaller sockets wouldn’t fit over the pegs.

Great Socket Organizing Racks. Clear white sizes angled for easy reading. Slot for hanging, which is great for intermittent use. Pegs cover range of most used sizes. Small base footprint. Great for portability. Selected these racks to keep sockets handy in tool bags on jobs they are needed. Taking a selection of sockets for a specific job has been an issue- they get lost in the bottom of the bag and taking a full set along is often unnecessary, so these racks solve a problem. Not how they’re typically used, racks too tall to fit smaller rolling tool chest-cabinet combo’s I have, they do work well in tool bags, which I primarily take to jobs, including auto repairs. Racks keep sockets organized and handy. Issues with the racks- some smaller inexpensive sockets don’t slide down shaft, size letters although white are not easily read from above, on ground, but even when on workbench unless at a distance. Some ½ sockets higher than peg. Angled peg base doesn’t tend to let sockets sit vertical, they lean. Otherwise, satisfied with the racks as they perform very well for use in tool bags without taking up much space. Allowing only those sockets needed to be selected while keeping sockets organized and handy. Racks meet expectations. 

Are you tired of searching for the correct socket and squinting to read the size? Then this set is for you! I am past the days of doing a lot of wrenching and I now have difficulty identifying the size of the socket just by sight especially the metric sizes – I grew up on SAE sizes but now there are metric sizes in common use. This set has pegs that the socket slides down on with the size clearly marked on the top of the peg. The pegs don’t have magnets or clips that hold the socket so they slide off and on very easily. The negative is that they don’t transport well in a tool bag unless you are able to keep them flat in an upright position so the sockets don’t slide off and scatter in the bag (in my opinion, this set is best suited for use in a permanent work area such as a garage where socket sets can be stored in a tool cabinet or on a flat work surface). A great feature is that each “tray” has pegs for standard depth and deep sockets. I plan on getting the SAE set to fully organize my sockets. Lifetime warranty with no questions, no receipt required. Overall, very happy with this product for my purposes and do recommend.

I got these metric socket rack set for my unorganized toolbox. Sockets were in the correct drawer but not in any kind of order. It was very hard to find the correct socket size. Most of my sockets are not labeled well from the manufacturer and I had to look closely (Squint) to read the size. This slows down any job I am doing. Now, I can see clearly what size the sockets are and if I need a long or short barrel. Although, I don’t yet have all the sockets these racks can hold, I am at least organized

Nice socket rails. Nothing fancy but they fit sockets correctly and are sturdy and attractive enough. Sizes are easy to read. Posts extend beyond the sockets and the bases fit the bolt drive ends correctly, making it impossible to spill your sockets short of turning them upside down. Can be easily transported. A step up above the popular one carried at a competitor. I’d definitely opt for these. I’ve had those other ones and had to modify a few to get sockets to fit. Finally, with a double drawer, even the 1/2” will fit, as you can see in the attached pic. Easy recommendation. Typical Husky product. Good quality at a great price.

HUSKY METRIC SOCKET RACK SET (3-PIECE) is a nice set. Tge numbers are easy to read. As a fleet mechanic I already have a few of these. I really like them cause I can just open the drawer and see them easy and clearing and grab and go. There also nice cause after working on several different vehicles in a day I can tell if I miss placed any sockets. They seen to be very durable plastic.

The (3-Piece) Metric Socket Rack Set from Husky is a really good way of organizing your sockets. They come in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive. The socket posts are clearly marked and easy to set your sockets in to. Husky tools are known for their quality. and these also come with a lifetime warranty. There are a couple of drawbacks that could need improving. When you hang the rack on the wall, it would seem that the sockets would easily slide off the posts. Also, being made of plastic, I wonder just how sturdy it would be if dropped off the wall. If they remain on the top of the workbench it would be no problem.

These take up considerably more space than rails, but if you've got the room for it, these socket racks are a pretty good way to stay organized. They are, to my way of thinking, backwards, as the size decreases from left to right. They're also designed so that the sockets are meant to be stored drive-end up, which (again, to my way of thinking) is upside down since the numbers on the socket are engraved to read the other way. Perhaps it's just my OCD that is the problem there. The quality of the plastic isn't super-great, but these are clearly meant not to be portable, so they shouldn't have to withstand too much abuse. Each rack has a hole in it that looks like you should be able to hang it on a wall, but if you used it for that, the sockets would probably not stay on. Overall, these do a pretty good job of what they're suppose to do at reasonable price point, and they're definitely better than trying to dig through the bottom of your toolbox every time you need a socket
