Default how do you organize multiple socket wrench sets?

when trying to find the right wrench and socket for the job. Does
anyone have any unique ways over organizing these things to make it
efficient?


I cut pieces of wood to fit the drawers of my tool chest - one drawer for each
size - 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" drive. Then, I drilled the wood, inserted dowels in the
holes, put the sockets on the dowels & wrote the size on the wood in front of
each socket. Easy to find the socket I need, & easy to notice one missing.
