I'm getting to the point I need to do that.

LOL....same issues here...can't see it or can't find it. 

Will those labels stay put when they get greeeeeazy?

I bought a set of those Hansen socket trays that have the stud that comes up through each socket with the size on the end. They are real easy to see and I made brackets to mount them on the sides of my roll around so I don't have to hunt through drawers for them. Works real good. My old clip on rails always seemed to have the markings hidden between two sockets so you had to remove them to see if you were right. The Hansen trays are so much better and got all the sockets out of a drawer so I can hide more stuff in there.

yeah there are numbers for the bigger sockets,  but not big enough for  me to do my really big sockets.  the biggest label is 1 1/4" and 24  which isnt even close for me.  But those big sizes hardly ever get used.  I havent worked on any big trucks in years.   

as far as them staying on after they get greasy, only time will tell  I hope they last somewhat.  

I used to use the craftsman rails as well, they did not wear any better than the cheap ones.   I just cut the bars to length and polish the cut end up enough so its not sharp  then if any of the individual socket holders get where they wont hold sockets anymore, change it out.    I dont use any of it like I used to.  I use them because that makes em easier to carry around places.

I bought enough of the Hansen socket trays for all my sockets and I like them.  I keep mine in the drawers of my rollaround because of dust issues. I have managed to break two of the posts on the 1/4" drive sockets, but they glue back on.

Yea, I had mine in the drawers, but to open up room I mounted on the outsides of the top chest. After I did it I realized how nice it is. I just dust mine with the air hose now and then and have help from the Grand-Kids taking them all down and giving them back to me in a bucket. They all get cleaned that way. I am down to less than two minutes to get them all back on the racks!!
