You simply pop out the one you want by pressing through the hole on the opposite side. Partitions in the tray keep eachsocket separate in its own compartment. The rachet features Litton's "Kwik Socket Release" for easy-on, easy-off change of the sockets. The 9 piece set (7 sockets ranging from 3/8 to 3/4 in., and a 2 in. extension for getting into hard-to-reach areas, and a handle) sells for $44.95.
