Does anyone know if and where these can be bought by themselves? The only place Ive seen them is when you buy the Popular Mechanics sockets from Walmart, they come with the set. Ive got a ton of sockets and would like to organize them better, and I like the plastic strips so much better than the metal ones.

I've been looking for some for my box, there are some on ebay now, a set of 6 for about $60. I also noticed some today in my Summit racing catalog.

Bruno since its that time of year were guys push themselfs with no sleep ill post it has a reminder . Dec18th 2004 heading to Jerre's for the True first Erie Speical after plowing three days out of 5 and working in the shop myself and a employee took the service truck on a wild ride near Cabala's on US23 near Tecumseh MI flipping the truck in a Ditch my employee suffered broken arm and some minor injurys , i had three broken ribs and cuts but alot of bruised pride lets just say by the time the locals were done with me down there i spent in fines what the first Erie Plow cost. So its still a good lesson for all on pushing yourself. The term black side down shiny side up evloved from that fateful trip.
