Default Rehousing Socket Set

I've had the same socket set since I was 16 and I'm 23 now. However 7 years of use and it still all works absolutely fine and is in reasonable nick. In fact the only thing missing is a 3/8" 8mm socket. However as you can imagine the box has started to fall to bits.

What's the best way to rehouse it?

Seems a huge shame to throw it all away and buy a new socket set. However a box and a load of socket rails and you've soon spent £100 and for not a lot more I can just replace the set.

Sam.

Plenty of options on ebay if you search socket storage.

What about a flight case and foam then cut out for the ratchets etc and attach socket rails inside it.
