socket organizers
Princess Auto (at least the Kitchener one) has the Power Fist magnetic socket holders on sale.... Last night, I got a few of the 3/8" ones, and 2 of the 1/4" ones.
The 3/8" holder was $6.99
The 1/4" holder was $4.99
Problem is, the magnets aren't very strong in them. Not enough hold for some of the larger sockets (20mm up). No way deep or medium sockets will stay put in them.

I had previously (just Wednesday) bought some "Waterloo" brand magnetic socket holders for my new toolbox from Cdn Tire. They work much better, but are twice the price. The magnets are strong enough to hold the standard depth large sockets - no problem.....
