Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools Twist Lock Socket Tray (1/4" Drive, MPN 8632) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts seeking organized and secure storage for their 1/4" drive sockets. Its key benefit is the twist-and-lock mechanism that prevents sockets from falling out, especially during transport or when stored in drawers. A potential caveat is its specific capacity for 26 sockets, which might not suit users with very extensive collections.

FAQs

What type of sockets does this tray hold?

This tray is designed for 1/4" drive metric sockets, holding sizes from 4mm up to 14mm, including both standard and deep well sockets.

How many sockets can it store?

The tray can securely store up to 26 1/4" drive sockets.

What are the dimensions of the tray?

The overall dimensions of the tray are 234mm in length, 62mm in width, and 15.3mm in height.

Is this tray suitable for imperial sockets?

The tray is designed for the specified metric sizes (4-14mm). It may not securely hold all imperial sizes due to variations in dimensions.

Can I use this tray for 3/8" or 1/2" drive sockets?

No, this specific model (8632) is for 1/4" drive sockets only. Larger drive sizes are available separately.

How does the twist and lock mechanism work?

You insert a socket into its slot and then twist the central locking element. This action secures the socket, preventing it from falling out. A reverse twist releases the socket.

What material is the tray made from?

The tray is manufactured from Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR).

Troubleshooting

Sockets feel loose even after twisting the lock

Ensure the socket is fully seated in its slot before twisting the lock. Check that the socket base is clean and free from debris. Verify the socket is within the compatible size range (4-14mm).

Tray slides around in the drawer

Ensure the non-slip rubber backing is clean and making full contact with the drawer surface. For additional stability, consider using a non-slip matting underneath the tray.

Twist lock mechanism is stiff

Gently work the mechanism back and forth a few times. Ensure no debris is caught in the locking mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

  • Securely holds sockets with the twist-lock system.
  • Organizes and protects sockets, preventing loss.
  • Durable materials ensure longevity.
  • Compact and suitable for drawer storage.
  • Prevents surface damage with non-slip backing.

Cons

  • Limited to 26 sockets.
  • Primarily for metric sockets within the specified range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply insert your 1/4" drive sockets into the designated slots. Once a socket is in place, gently twist the central locking mechanism until the socket is held firmly. Repeat for all sockets you wish to store. The tray is ready for placement in a drawer or toolbox.

Compatibility: This tray is designed specifically for 1/4" drive sockets, accommodating standard and deep metric sizes ranging from 4mm to 14mm. It is not compatible with 3/8" or 1/2" drive sockets, or imperial sizes outside the specified range. Larger drive sizes (3/8" and 1/2") are available under separate part numbers (8633 and 8634 respectively).

Care: To clean the tray, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and grime. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) materials. Ensure the tray is dry before storing sockets to prevent corrosion.
