I'm transitioning from a traditional toolbox to a Packout system but I don't want to buy all new tools just for the pre-made Packout inserts. I have a full set of Kobalt sockets in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 sizes, both regular and deep. I'm looking for the best way to organize all of these sockets in my 3-drawer Packout without just tossing them in loose. Any suggestions?

I recommend using magnetic socket holder rails. You can remove the magnets if needed or just secure them with a metal plate. They're really practical for keeping things in order! Here’s what I use: https://a.co/d/eeShVig
If you're into organization, a 3D printer is a game-changer! I spend most of my time crafting tool organizers rather than actually using my tools. It's a fun way to keep everything neat, but it might be another hobby to dive into if you're not careful.
Foam organization works pretty well, although cutting it can be a hassle. It can help keep your sockets sorted if you don't mind the effort involved!
I've used foam for my impact sockets, but with so many regular sockets, it feels overwhelming to tackle that method!
I don't have a 3D printer, and as cool as they sound, I really don't need another hobby right now!
