I carry all my tools in two tool bags that I got from Sears. My sockets are on strips, sorted by standard(metric/standard), drive size, bolt size, and type(6-pt/12-pt). All of my adapters, extensions, and u-joints are on a seperate strip.
This works out VERY nicely. I can easily tell which sockets are missing simply by looking at the strips, and it has saved me a few sockets in just the last 3 months since I organized them like this. I've found that the bags take up a lot less room than a hard tool box and make far less noise.

Are the strips magnetic?
I use the ones by (Lisle?). They're magnetic and hold the shallow and deep set. They're the same ones sold at Sears. I use them at work as well and really like them. Alot easier than the clip type IMO.

I keep mine on carabieners, two for metric and one for SAE since I carry a lot more metric sizes than SAE. I use the cheap type labeled "Not For Climbing". You can get a bunch at Harbor freight for around $2. Aside from keeping them organized they store a lot more compactly than in a roll.Good idea for the sockets. I'll need to get some of those strips.
Now, what about wrenches? They used to come with rolls, now they all come in plastic mounts most of which are not reusable once you open them. Anyone know where to get good, old fashioned, wrench rolls that don't cost $30 each?

Dang Dan...that's a great idea!
What, is he special or something? I said the same damn thing up above ;p
Hey...you're right you did mention it above...somehow I missed it. You get a carrot! So now...since RustyTLC apparently stole it from your post I'll have to retract my kudos to him and pass them to you .
