Snap-on is introducing two new post-style socket trays to accommodate storage for shallow, deep and, now, semi-deep sockets.
These Snap-on trays feature a middle row with posts sized specifically for semi-deep sockets. The 3/8" and 1/4" trays are designed to make it easy to move sockets around the shop and identify the socket size required for a job.
"Technicians expressed a need to have a socket storage layout with a place for semi-deep sockets, as well as the shallow and deep," Jay Serpe, a Snap-on project manager, said. "Two-row trays have long been popular, and these new three-row trays are an innovation that will make locating the right tool easier and shave minutes off a task that can eat away at a tech's day."
Both the KA383 (3/8") and KA143 (1/4") are designed for chrome or impact sockets and come in fractional or metric sizes.
The trays are available in four color options – red, black, green and orange.
Each tray has a printed pad with socket size on each post.
