Hoping someone has a good alternative. I have a 25 year-old Craftsman socket set my dad got me when I graduated from high school. The case it came in is nylon and the sockets and drivers are held in with elastic bands. Well the elastic doesnt really hold ANYTHING in anymore. I've given up re-organizing the set because everything immediately falls out once I close it and zip it up.





I just ran by Sears because Craftsman makes an empty hard case which looked like it would work but the thing is HUGE!

Anyone have any good ideas for a smaller hard case that will keep everything organized?

Thanks in advance!

 

I have a pretty big tool set, i ended up getting rid of the plastic case and putting the sockets on socket strips and loading everything into two tool bags, one large one with all wrenches, sockets, etc, and a smaller one with the pliers, screwdrivers, cutters, etc.......works pretty well

 

Thanks. I just did exactly the same thing.

 

Good idea I need a new case myself.

 

plastic tackle organizer. Or put all your sockets on a threaded rod

 

This doesn't do anything to answer your question, but your post caught me in a good way.
When my father died, I took possession of most of his tools.
Every time I need to adjust or replace something on the JK, using my Dad's tools is a way I remain connected to him, and I cherish those moments.
And I'm sure that you do, too.

 

Something like this would work great in a trail bag...

That's a great way to remember him. It's sort of funny too because my dad has blamed me for every tool he's ever lost since I've been born. Even when I lived several states away from him.

 

That looks great. The strips I got are rigid but that would fit much better.
