The socket is removably attached to the socket organizer such that a ratchet may be directly attached to the socket while the socket is stored on the socket organizer. The socket organizer comprises a base and a socket stand. The socket stand is removably attached to the base. The socket stand further comprises a plurality of socket pedestals. Each of the plurality of pedestals is a pedestal upon which a socket selected from a socket set is stored.

Abstract: A method for assisting a user of a fingerprint sensing system includes sensing a position of a user's finger relative to a swiped fingerprint image sensor, and providing to the user, in response to the sensed finger position, an indication of finger placement relative to the fingerprint image sensor. The indication of finger placement may include a display on a computer monitor of actual finger placement and desired finger placement. The fingerprint sensing system may include an image sensor to sense a fingerprint on a swiped finger, a finger position sensor to sense the position of the finger relative to the image sensor, and processing apparatus to provide the indication of finger placement to the user.
