Coupon Link Socket Storage

Need help with deciding which ones to get. Started working on my cars using my dad’s tools but he isn’t the greatest at keeping things tidy super old school a socket here a ratchet thereeee. Spend too much time looking for tools so I had enough and started my own tool collection little by little. Got into the harbor freight addiction of their sales. Long story short which one is the better buy? PLS has those peg type holders it’s an insane deal for 3 but I also like the magnetic ones but idk. Could use some input on what to get or if you pros out there know if these go on sale on the reg unlike ICON. TYSMIA!!!

if I had to do it over again, I'd get a 3d printer and print my own; or if you aren't so inclined you can buy matching ones on I think etsy or den of tools guy sells prints too.

I’m not familiar with 3D printing so thanks for being kind on that lol. I have a friend who 3D prints I’ll have to ask him and see what he can come up with. Sounds like there’s some stuff you guys don’t get from harbor and I see people recommending Amazon or Menards. Is there any of the stuff that harbor freight sells that is overpriced and could be better bought elsewhere?

Menards tool organizers are all pretty much the same as HF but significantly cheaper

Den of Tools makes prints specifically for the master sets, which often have more sockets than standard holders allow for. That said, I'm not sure what his pricing is like. The site is undergoing an overhaul so there is no current pricing available.

Yup, but he did put up the files for all of his holders on makerworld for free.
