The other day I got tired of having most of my sockets in the single large drawer of my big tool box so I drag out a standard sized roll cabinet tool box with 5 drawers in it. In 1 of the half width drawers I loaded in my 1/4" faction inch sockets the drawer to its right the 1/4" metrics the second drawer under them I divided down the middle the 3/8" sockets went in there factional on the left metrics on the right the 3rd drawer was dedicated for ratchets extensions breakover bars adapters and swivels.
In to the next drawer went the 1/2" drive sockets but not all would fit and there was no drawer below it so I will salvage a couple drawers from another cabinet and install them in it later To be able to have a similar arrangement.
Funny thing was when I started dumping in all of the sockets and trying to achieve some semblance of order I began finding lots of 10 mm and 3/8" sockets dozens of them in fact Now I may have to make a complete separate section in a drawer which will contain nothing but 10mm & 3/8" sockets.
What's up with that? Could it be that since I began arranging the sockets all of the errant 10mm & 3/8" sockets decided to come home or could it possibly mean that every time I visit a pawn shop I make a special point in purchasing bagful's of loose sockets and I am winding up with everyone's missing 10mm & 3/8" sockets if you think I may have one of your missing sockets send me a picture of the one that went missing along with a certified DR's DNA report and the FBI's fingerprint file on the socket I will have these sockets examined by a forensic specialist to determine if they may be one of your escaped sockets. I did lock them in a drawer so they can not escape until their identity is established. They are an unruly lot I might add, every time I open the drawer they try to hide among themselves hoping I won't notice them while they make their attempt at escaping.
