Husky SAE Socket Rack Set (3-Piece)

They are a must have to keep your tool box organized.

SUMMARY: A nice set, comparable to others on the market, but didn’t meet my needsBACKGROUND: I have well over 100 SAE 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, 26 and 28 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 spaceo 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. Also, you must have a 4″ deep drawer for the ½” rack. My socket drawer was too shallow.”¢ Sturdy, break resistant pegs for durabilityo These are not unbreakable, but they are ok for use in a tool chest drawer.”¢ Pegs have size marking for easy socket identificationo 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 read the sizes.”¢ 1/4 in. drive peg size range from 3/16 in. to 5/8 in.o Some smaller sockets would not fit over the posts, but they were cheaper sockets.”¢ 3/8 in. drive peg size range from 1/4 in. to 1 in.”¢ 1/2 in. drive peg size range from 3/8 in. to 1-1/4 in.”¢ Lifetime warranty with no questions, no receipt requiredo This is another good selling point for the Husky brand. Bring a broken 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. Unfortunately, the ½” rack requires a 4″ deep drawer but my SAE socket drawer is too shallow. These types of racks also have a much larger footprint than socket rails. With the number of sockets I have in the drawer I could not have used the ½” drive rack anyway. For the 3/8″ and ¼” racks I did use 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 (1/4″, 5/16″, 7/16″, and ½”) 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 too hard.SUMMARY: This helped me organize my SAE sockets better than they were. I think the two I used will work for me. PROS: Easy to read, sturdyCONS: Needs 4″ drawer, takes up room, some smaller sockets wouldn’t fit over the pegs.

The 3-Piece SAE Socket Rack Set from Husky seems to be a really good way to organize your sockets. The set comes in 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ drive sets. They also are arranged for standard and deep sockets. The posts are clearly marked. And arranged in the socket size order. They also come with a hanger slot for mounting on the wall. Husky tools are known for producing a quality product. And the set comes with a lifetime warranty. I must say that I have a couple of drawbacks. One is that they are made of plastic, and I really don’t know if they would survive a fall off the wall. Also, if mounted on the wall the socket posts are at 90 degrees and I could see the sockets being easy to slide off the posts. But if you mount the sets on the top of your workbench. This would not be a problem.

Husky SAE Socket Rack Set (3-Piece) solves the problem of stray sockets in quite often overcrowded, unorganized tool boxes. This set is designed to be used for SAE sockets, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch drives. The trays are dense plastic, and lettering and digits are embossed and painted white, clear and easy to read. SAE trays are black, to differentiate from Metric, which are molded in gray. The sockets fit perfectly over the trays. Trays fit both standard and deep sockets. Made in Taiwan, these trays come with a lifetime warranty from Husky.Good quality. Easy to use. Easy to load and remove sockets.
