SAE and Metric Socket Tray Set - 6 Piece Socket Organizer Tray

In this review the OEMTOOLS 6 piece SAE and Metric Socket Tray Set is evaluated for workshop users who need to tame loose sockets in drawers or on benches; the single biggest reason to buy is its capacity and clear size labeling that speeds socket selection. The set organizes sockets by drive and unit of measurement, with color coded pegs and clearly printed size markings so a mechanic or hobbyist can reach for the right socket without digging. The trays are made of high impact ABS plastic and include wide bases to reduce tipping.

Key Features

• Large capacity: Six trays hold up to 40 deep well and 40 shallow SAE sockets plus 45 deep and 45 shallow metric sockets across 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in drives, reducing drawer clutter.
• Clear labeling: Each peg has a clear size marking at the top to make socket selection quick and consistent, saving time during jobs.
• Color coded organization: Metric and SAE trays are color coded so visual sorting is immediate, which helps maintain order in a busy toolbox.
• Stable construction: Trays are molded from high impact ABS plastic with wide bases to resist tipping when loaded.
• Mounting option: Each tray includes a hole for wall mounting, offering flexible storage on a workstation as well as in drawers.
• Compact fit: With a maximum length of 20.5 in and maximum peg height of 3.9 in, the trays fit in many standard tool chests and drawers.

Who It's For

The set is best for home mechanics, small repair shops, or hobbyists who need to organize a mix of shallow and deep sockets across three common drive sizes and both SAE and metric units. If you regularly swap sockets and want to avoid rummaging through loose pieces, the labeled pegs and color coding make this a time saver.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with very small sockets that do not sit well on the provided pegs, or anyone who needs metal or heavily reinforced organizers for industrial heavy-duty use; some customers noted fit issues with certain sockets and fragility in the smallest tray pegs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent capacity for mixed shallow and deep sockets across 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in drives.

• Color coded pegs and mounting hole give flexible placement and quick visual sorting.

Our Verdict

The OEMTOOLS socket tray set is a practical, budget friendly organizer for hobbyists and light to medium workshop use; its large capacity, clear size markings and color coding deliver real time savings and better organization. Buyers should accept occasional fit issues with some sockets and the lighter feel of the 1/4 in tray, but for the price it offers solid value and keeps a garage or toolbox much neater.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these trays be mounted on a wall?
Yes, each tray includes a hole for mounting so you can attach them to a workstation or wall for vertical storage.

Do the trays fit standard tool drawers?
Most standard tool chests and drawers will accept the trays since the maximum length is 20.5 in and maximum height is 3.9 in, but confirm drawer internal dimensions first.

Will all socket brands fit the pegs?
Most sockets will fit, but some customers reported alignment and fit issues with certain smaller sockets and the 1/4 in pegs can feel fragile, so very small or nonstandard sockets may not seat perfectly.
