> 3 dayThis socket organizer works great and is easy to use, sturdy and well made. I bought another one of these organizers from Olsa and it appears to be identical. At the time of this review, the ARES is 20% cheaper. I noticed that several other vendors on Amazon also appear to be selling the same organizer. My only warning about this product is a minor one: the socket holders/clips slide onto sturdy plastic tracks mounted on a steel base plate. The clips can only be removed and installed from one end of the track. This means that if you miss count or need to change the size of a clip, say from 3/8 to 1/2, you have to remove all of the clips installed after the one you need to change. The clips slip onto the tracks very easily, but removing them is a bit more difficult, because you have to depress a stiff plastic retaining tab while sliding each clip over the tab. So plan ahead before organizing your sockets.

> 3 dayWas super excited when it came in. I hadn’t had any of my sockets on a tray yet. They glide easily and there’s a small notch on the end you have to press in for the clip to come off so there’s no accidentally slipping off your clips. Overall I’m extremely please. I just wish there was more 1/4 inch clips. I was able to fit my deep sockets but need about 4 more clips for my stubbies on that first row

> 3 dayLike other reviewers have said, it has too many 1/2 drive connectors. I had to order more 1/4 and 3/8 to organize my sockets. But it is solid and I would buy again.

Greater than one weekI actually really like this socket organizer. I would have given it 5 stars but the problem is that with a full set of metric and SAE in the same row, the backing is about 3/4 too short, so you cant put say 10 3/8 Metric and 10 SAE on the same row (unlike the description says). Plus, I dont know about you but I have a lot more 3/8 sockets than I do 1/2. So now I have about 20 1/2 clips I cant use and Im short about 20 3/8 and 10 1/4 clips. I should mention though that I liked the first one enough to go back and order a second. Then I ordered the additional 20 3/8 clips and 10 1/4 clips. Socket overkill? Yeah, I guess.

> 3 dayI am pleased with how it helps me keep my sockets organized and that I can pick it up by the handle and carry them vertically and they stay attached. It fits easily in my stand tool chest draw. I havent had it long enough to access its durability, but am happy so far.

> 3 dayProduct arrived as described. Clips sizes can be removed and rearranged any way possible, they don’t have to stay the way they arrived. There is even still more room left if I want to add more clips for other sockets. Would recommend if you’re looking to organize, or simply looking for something that will replace worn out plastic socket trays.

> 3 dayGood quality. I wish there were less 1/4 and more 3/8. I have mine loaded up and hanging on the wall with no issues.

Greater than one weekThis 80-Piece Socket Organizer is a relief from the hard plastic case that held the sockets. Much easier to access the sockets. Easy to organize all sockets and extensions now. The handle is very useful for transporting the socket organizer and the handle can be folded out of the way.

> 3 dayI just wish I had purchased more than 1. I have a lot of sockets which will end up on this rail. It’s simple once you decide how to organize your sockets. This makes it easy to move a set around vs having a bunch of those steel rails that have the clips break or bend and fall off. This cleaned up one side of my tool box. A few more and I’ll be set.
