The BEST Compact Tool Kit… With One BIG Problem

I honestly think this is one of the best compact mechanics tool kits you can buy for homeowners, DIYers, mechanics, motorcycles, ATVs, bicycles, small engines, marine repairs, and just about any everyday repair job. The tool selection is excellent, the quality is exactly what I’d expect from DEWALT, and it’s compact enough to throw in a vehicle or keep in a drawer.

There’s just one problem… @dewalttv

If you open the case the wrong way, every socket falls out of its holder and ends up in the opposite side of the case. Then you have to sort them all back into place before you can close it again.

I tried using magnets, but the ones I bought weren’t strong enough to hold the sockets through the plastic. Now I’m looking for a better solution, and I’d love to hear your ideas.

How would YOU fix this without completely redesigning the case?

Drop your suggestions in the comments. If there’s a great idea, I’ll test it in a follow-up video!
