Abstract

The inventive subject matter is directed to socket holders that feature through holes in their bases to facilitate stringing multiple socket holders together. Individual socket holders feature a base portion and a cylindrical portion extending therefrom. The base portion can include one or more concave surfaces that improve user grip, while also featuring a through hole that a flexible member such as a string made from any appropriate material can pass through. An entire set of sockets can be held together by coupling each socket to a socket holder and then stringing the socket holders all together using a flexible member. This reduces the amount of storage space required, makes it more difficult to lose a socket holder, improve portability by making it possible for a user to sling their socket set over a shoulder using the flexible member, and so on.
