Tool holder for the track bag...
figured I would post this question here as others may have the same problem / solution ... I have a Bag of tools that I take with me to the track Includes just about all metric / std variety of sockets and wrenches. Looking for a socket holder that will hold sockets while in the bag. The ones i have tried to use seem to "pop" off under normal transport. They seem best suited for the tool chest that is not moving around. Let me know if ya have any ideas on what could hold sockets / wrenches to better organize the track bag of tools. Looked on the web and found quite a few but not sure how well they hold.

Other than that, I would get one of those soft wrench organizers that wrap up & put a cord around them.
For sockets just find a metal strip organizer that the sockets snap onto very tight. The plastic organizers don't hold well.

Here is what I have:
-- Separate socket rails for metric, standard, deepwell, etc. They are a plastic rail with plastic square "studs", but they work very well.
-- All socket rails are in a small blue bag
-- All ratchets and large sockets (ie axle nut size) are in another small blue bag
-- All metric and standard ratchet wrenches are in a small black bag
-- All metric and standard regular wrenches are in another small black bag
-- All four of those bags are in a larger black bag
-- In another large black bag, I have my gloves, meter, pressure gauge, tape, etc.
-- In yet another large black bag I have all of my misc pliers, screwdrivers, clamps, hammer, etc.
-- In a hard plastic container, I have all of my fluids
It may sound complicated, but when I am ready to go to the track, I grab my three black bags, my hard plastic container, and my torque wrench and I know I have everything I need for a weekend.
You can get all of these bags and socket rails at Lowe's.
