Large Allen socket?

[Ghostrider]

Who makes a LARGE Allen socket set? I'm looking for something in the range of 3/8 up to and including 1". Any leads?

Snap on makes them. I think you need a 3/4" drive for the 1" hex though.

Snap=On has them but I don't think they go to one inch. The biggest one I have are 5/8 amd 19mm

The only ones I would really need is the 7/8 and the 1".

I bought a set of craftsmans a couple of years ago. It was a set of four 17, 19, 5/8, 3/4. Have used them on impacts and never had an issue. They were pretty cheap too.

or if you're cheap ( like me) grab a 3/4 dr impact socket, and pick up a long handle allen wrench in the sizes you need, cut to length.

Yeah, I was going to say why not make your own if you have a welder. I think "gmonkee" posted a fabrication of those here somewhere. I bought some cheap sockets at a garage sale and plan to do just that.

The only drawback to welding chrome is that chromium in a gas state is deadly so you'll need to wear a chemical mask.

ive always had really bad luck anywhere high heat and allen bits are concerned.

i wouldnt weld a bit into a socket. all my larger sizes were stuck in the sockets with some silicone and left set up overnight

Gorilla Glue works for this too

check out vim tools for allen sockets on the budget too. i have a couple sets of various lengths and brands ranging from usa tool trucks, import (asian and german), and even stuff i make by cutting up allen keys and jb-quick welding it into a socket.
