Review on Olsa Tools 1/2-Inch Drive Aluminum Socket Organizer by Warrick Dembo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great product but they could rate it better.

Order: 2pcs Red 3 pack for my SAE sockets. Colour: Fantastic, bright (definitely not pink). Bar: Very strong and the base mount is strong. My biggest complaint is that I feel ripped off at the clamps. You can order a single rod or a set of 3 rods, but both options only include half the clips that each rod can hold. For example, as you can see in my picture, a 1/4 inch bar will hold 36 clips pretty easily. You can buy clips separately from OSLO but they are quite expensive. Why does each shell contain about half the volume it can hold? These clamps are very inexpensive to manufacture, very inexpensive. Having few clamps is a major disadvantage for those of us with large tool sets. I have +60 sockets for each size so either pay for extra clamps or buy another set of 3 which I did. Love the product, hate the pricing and bundle combo options. $13 for a bar with multiple clips, $12 for multiple clips, or $26 for 3 bars with multiple clips each. A good choice for me even if you bought a small socket set that usually comes with its own organizer. In the end I am very happy with the look and very impressed with the quality. If I didn't know for sure that these clips cost less than $0.30 to produce, I would flip this product on its head. Unfortunately, the seller's choice of product grouping/packaging leaves me far less enthusiastic about the purchase.
