Review on Socket Organizer Tray Set for Toolboxes - 6PCS Red SAE & Black Metric Socket Storage Trays, Deep and Shadow Socket Holders for 1/4-Inch, 3/8-Inch & 1/2-Inch Drive by Bhanu Hays

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Upside down, difficult to read, not hanging straight.

I am not satisfied. Nowhere in the item description or in the pictures is there a hint that these racks require outlets to be turned upside down. Therefore you cannot see the working end of the socket without removing it. For example, if your nut collection has a 10mm 12-point blade and a standard 10mm 6-point blade, and regardless of the length, you want to use a 6-point socket for a specific task, there's no telling which is which until you take it off the shelf. This might be a bit annoying for some, but it bothers me and I wish it was stated in the description. This is of course in the ratings, but why doesn't the seller give us this information in advance. Another issue for me is white members on red racks. They are difficult to read and if you want to look at the size printed on the outlet it is upside down as most outlet racks store these kets right side up. The posts are quite flimsy, two smaller ones arrived with broken pins but Revane wanted to return the whole set and not just replace the faulty ones. This breakage was an internal packaging issue as the box was completely intact; just nothing for the packaging material. in general they are not worth the money. The Blue Box hardware store has better ones for about the same price. These shelves also have a hole for hanging them vertically. The plastic just can't handle the weight when there's a full set of attachments. The hole is simply in the middle of the smaller female end of each post. Apparently the designer forgot to consider the difference in weight between the long and short rosettes when determining the location of the hanging holes. With a full range of short and long rosettes, these shelves hang at an angle. This is another annoying thing about these outlet stands.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
