    My dad and I installed my TV to the wall at my place and then helped him over the weekend to clean their garage.

    He has so much random junk... Is there a donation place that's open?
    If you live in the SW - the westhills donation container in the Lowes carpark is open everytime I go there.

    Threw up the pegboard on the wall and finally started to organize my sockets. Ran out of hooks so will need to get more and then it’s wrenches next.

    How often do you have them/furnace cleaned? I did mine first day when I took possession which was 7 years ago but a co-worker said he does his every 2 years which I think is too soon, house shouldnt be that dirty.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    That is insane haha. Why not just get/make some racks or trays that hang on the pegboard? Like a spice rack but for sockets. Each socket is taking up so much space, that would drive me crazy

    +1

    If I organized my socket set like that it would take an entire wall of the garage lol

    And I don’t even have that many sockets.

    I think I was mumbling about furnace and vent cleaning. I still need that too.

    I'm patiently waiting for Amazon to deliver my Ernst socket rails (fucking Corona)..... they seem like a decent solution if you're down with throwing them in a tool chest.

    I have one of the Ernst rails, they're OK but I found I prefer labeled racks for sockets so the Ernst gets used for bit-socket duty.

    I ended up with the PA Hansen clone trays and they're great.

    Whole lot cheaper than the steel ones, and you can put them tighter together.

    Oh I like that! Green drawer liners make everything east to see.

    I was going to get the racks but I dont have enough sockets to fill them all out and empty posts would drive me crazy haha.

    I got these ones and kinda hate them, I’m working on my car a lot these days so I just end up not putting them back in the right spot. Beserker you just reminded me I have those stashed away too gunna dig them out!

    hmm I tried the tray thing previously in a tool chest and wasnt a fan. If I could hang something similar to what BerekerCatSplat has on a pegboard that would be something i'd be willing to try. I dont think those Hansen trays are hangable are they?

    That's exactly what you want. I have my doubts as to whether they're designed to be hangable, but you could easily figure out how to attach some pegs to them or get one of the 300 beyonders with a 3D printer to help you out.

    Did some more work in the shop, continued building the free little library commission. Top is my progress so far, the bottom is my inspiration.

    The Hansen trays are designed to be hung from a store display, but I'm not sure I'd trust them just being hung like that full of sockets - they're just plastic after all. If I wanted to put them on pegboard, I'd build an angled platform for them.
