- In this video I show you how to make cheap magnetic socket holders using items from Harbor Freight. In total it cost me less than $30 to make this. Please let me know what you think of the holders and if you would use them or not.
I picked some up this weekend -"free with any purchase"! Gotta love them! I just stick the sockets/tools right to the magnetic strip!
Those magnets used to have a "free with purchase " coupon. Got about 20 of those sitting around. They always come in handy. You justbshowed another good use!
Pat B I wished they’d bring these back as a free item. I’d stock up on them too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I WILL BE DOING THIS FOR MY SOCKET HOLDERS, THANKS
After putting magnets on smaller tray, a couple of 2X4s with some bungee chords will help keep them straight until the glue dries to hold in place. Great video!
JAArcher0715 man that’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing. The definitely would have helped.
Was looking into this same idea. I only keep 1/4 and 3/8 in my tool cart (mostly). But I keep them in the drawer, so might not have enough clearance with the deep 3/8. Definitely going this route if i can work though. Tired of wheeling my cart through the grass, then having to re organize haha
I did end up doing this. Works awesome. Makes the socket holders pretty hefty if you take the entire organizer out- but I rarely do that when working on my vehicles. I went very simple with it and cut the magnet holders to length and put some gorilla glue on the bottom. Haven't had any issues at all
👍 GOOD idea
Great DIY
A couple things. When you were placing the second row of magnets and they stuck to the first, that was hilarious. Any of TH-camr would have cut that shit. You’re awesome for leaving it because that’s how shit goes. Great job!
Oh, and total FAIL on the Red Green quote. “If The Women Don't Find You Handsome, They Should at Least Find You Handy.”
AssocPress thanks man. I mess up half the stuff I do but that’s real life. I hate when people make stuff look real easy when in fact they will probably make the same mistakes.
Very good idea!
Andy Harris thank you
Thanks for the upload. Do all things for the Glory of God. Thanks and God bless.
i like it done it
Cool
Great idea thanks for taking the time to do the video
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Good idea
Thank you
Hey Bring It Muscle Cars, would you did would work but to me thats a messy job of gluing individual magnets under the flat side of that socket tray and also those magnets are way too thick. i did something similar too what you did but used a magnetic tape that already has a sticky adhesive tape on it that can be applied to anything with out glue and also thinner. You can buy them in rolls off of ebay i think i got a 10ft roll to do all my Hansen 3/8" and 1/4" drive metric and SAE triple row socket trays. I used 3 strips on the bottom of the 3/8" drive socket trays and 2 strips on the smaller 1/4" socket trays. I have the 3 triple row post style on mine which keeps the sockets stable and won't get thrown around or move and combined with the additional magnetic strip mod that trays will not move around in the socket drawer when you are lugging the tool box around the shop.
1998gst4611 thanks for the tip. I’ll have to look into that.
Great idea, BUT now try to release the magnetic socket set from the metal drawer🤦🏻♂️
Is that use gorilla glue epoxy ?
Just put a magnet (strong one like neodymium) on the socket/ extender/ rachet. The magnetism transfers down any ferrous material instantly (within a reasonable distance). It'll work better than these cheaper/ weaker magnets
The Olsa Tools ones I have are actually smaller and lower profile than the plastic ones from harbor freight. Also, the harbor freight ones don’t hold some of the smaller ¼ sizes. Olsa does. Maybe you have an older iteration of the Olsa?
Harbor Freight has abandoned their business model of selling cheap crap at cheap prices. Our local store went from being packed with guys buying truckloads of tools to being empty.
i think i might buy these socket trays but try some cheap cube magnets off ebay, just drop them into the recessed drive hold on the bottoms
theflashjaxx that might work. Let me know your results.
Duct Tape Forever!!! (Red Green) You have made him proud!
Thank you
I like it im gonna do it
Let me know how it works for you. I still use mine and love it
Don't the tools get magnetized over time?
No point making them, they are available on Amzn for 15-20 bucks, great quality

Oil_Burner can you put a link to them so people can find them. I couldn’t find the ones you’re talking about.

Husky makes a magnetic socket rail holder. You can buy it at Home Depot. $25
baggedmonster what no way. Ugh. I’ll have to go look. I honestly don’t go to Home Depot much.
The magnets on those dont hold the sockets, they just hold the rail to the toolbox
eric smith. I can tell you the ones I made hold the sockets too
@@BringItMuscleCars yea, I think I might pick up some magnet bars tonight and try it. I considered doing it before. Not a fan of the height added in my drawers and wasn't sure they would hold through the plastic, but based on your video, I'm giving it a shot.
Any ideas on keeping the drawers from sliding shut? Seems like I'm never on a level surface and my drawers always seem to slide shut when I'm trying to pull the right socket size
eric smith. I’m not sure how to keep them from sliding shut. I don’t normally have that issue.
How did you remove the tougher glued in magnets?
Dennis Hicks hit them harder. They will come out.
Bring It Muscle Cars Thanks!
Dennis Hicks thanks for watching.
Doing that to my kart
Cant see a thing... WAY too far away
Roger Whiting sorry. Did the idea and me talking help you out
Definitely worth it I’m gonna do it
Mad Mac I really like the way they work.
