If they’re on that rack then I can just pick it up and look at the # (they are laser etched) on them and go to town.

The precut boxes typically suck.

They are flimsy.

They are precut for a certain (typically rather slim) walled sockets, and if you get a set that has a thicker wall (higher quality in some instances) they won’t fit or will be very hard to go into slots.

They don’t fit well in toolboxes either.
