So I am always searching for tools it seems, am I alone?

Well did some searching and I found a couple of cool ideas. Labels for sockets, as well as tool box drawer organizer decals. Pretty cool idea and super cheap so I thought I would pass it along to you guys. They are listed on Ebay:

Socket Labels - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Socket-label...-/171638240939

Tool Box Labels - http://www.ebay.com/itm/171625505906...84.m1555.l2649

Great idea. I have trouble seeing the socket sizes anymore. Thanks for sharing.

those are great for tools not being used in a shop but they wont hold up to rough everyday use

A buddy of mine uses them and his day job is turning wrenches, they are laminated with Dupont film that is UV, solvent, and just about every thing else resistant. Some of the cheap ones aren't laminated and don't hold up.

i don't need to know what size they are, i can look at them and tell. what would be the nuts is a product that would help you remember where you last placed it.

Applied mine today. They will really help my wife or grandson find the right one during that time when I am under something and quickly need the right socket. And identify my sockets when we throw together on a group project.

Plus I struggle with the metric...just don't use them very often.

Thanks for the lead 98!

So far, so good... even got some brake fluid on one the other night, I wiped it off fairly quick but the decal held up fine.
