Description

Workshop Trolley Tool Tray Insert 1 - Oil-Resistant Foam Socket Organizer

Brief Overview

This oil-resistant foam insert is engineered for professional workshop trolley organization, keeping 1/2-inch socket sets properly sorted and protected from petroleum residue and workshop grime. The module is part of a modular system—pair it with complementary hex socket trays or additional specialized tool organizers to build a complete trolley setup tailored to your shop's inventory.

Key Features

  • Oil & Petroleum Resistant – Foam construction resists absorption of oils, hydraulic fluids, and other petroleum-based substances common in automotive workshops
  • Dirt-Repellent Surface – Textured black foam panel maintains cleanliness longer, reducing time spent cleaning tool storage
  • Indexed Socket Placement – Pre-molded recesses with printed size markings ensure tools are always in the correct position
  • Durable Polymer Construction – Long-service life with no degradation from exposure to shop chemicals
  • Professional Aesthetics – Clean, organized appearance supports efficient workflow and professional presentation to clients
