A socket suspension rack assembly with a quick release function includes a support rack, and a slide rack slidably mounted on the support rack. The support rack has a periphery provided with multiple positioning studs and has a side wall formed with multiple receiving channels. The support rack has multiple flexible positioning plates each retractably mounted in the positioning stud and each having an extension movably mounted in the receiving channel. The slide rack has a side wall provided with multiple flexible press blocks each rested on the extension of the flexible positioning plate. Thus, the socket maybe readily mounted on and removed from the positioning stud of the support rack, thereby facilitating the user employing the socket.
