I don`t know about you guys but I find it a bit of a pain sorting through sockets to find the one I want-even with the reading glasses. The size stamped on a socket always seems to be very faint and hard to see. Get a bit of oil or dirt on them and it is even worse. That is the ½ inch drive ones. Don`t get me started on the 3/8th or ¼ inch drive. Spanners are rarely a problem as the size is raised up clearly-even on the small stuff.
I`ve tried writing on sockets and it wears off, sticking masking tape on and writing on that doesn`t last long.
I suppose one way would be to drill a series of holes or recesses in a piece of 2x2 timber and write the size on the timber below each socket with a sharpie pen. All well & good if stood working at the bench, but what if you`re crawling about under a vehicle with oily hands.
Anyone got an effective solution?
