What brands sell individual sockets ?

[theoldwizard1]

I need a 23mm standard and deep impact socket (ball joint on Mazda6 and first gen Ford Fusion). What brands sell individual sockets especially non-standard sizes ?

What places stock a good selection of singles ?

You looking for a store or online?

Doesn't every brand sell individual sockets? Check eBay and cripedistributing. Buy Sunex.

SK.

HJE had a whole bunch when I was looking earlier.

Cripe has a 23mm 3/8" drive impact, but no matching deep. What drive size (they offer 23mm from 3/8"-1" drive)?

HJE has a great selection of singles:

Sunex from Amazon. Good if you have Amazon prime since its 2 day shipping.

For a random size socket, Amazon would be my first stop. I usually check Cripe as well.

My local SK/Performance tools/Sunex dealer would be the first B&M I would try followed by: Napa, Advance, and finally Auto Zone.

It all depends on how quickly you need it, and how often it is going to be needed after the job that you need it for. A couple of years ago, I needed a 12 point impact socket for a VW crank seal, I bought a Sunex off Amazon and I have not used it since then. So I'm glad I went cheap, or didn't buy the entire set.

I know Advance and Autozone also lend tools, not sure about sockets.

You can buy singles from most brands. Me, personally, I'd look at Grey Pneumatic from J&B Tool Sales.

No. Everybody's love it or hate it store, Harbor Freight doesn't. I don't think anyone sells individual IR impact sockets either.

Online there are too many to name. However, I'd probably get one from your local NAPA.

I am having a hard time finding a 21 mm 6 point in craftsman flavor.

SK from HJE or Sunex from Amazon

When I was working on filling all the pegs on my plastic trays I used Lowes/Kobalt, NAPA/Carlisle, Zoro Tools, and MSC Industrial. Between them I had all pegs filled in short order. I had lots of oddball pegs to fill, as I wanted six/twelves, standard/deep, chrome/impact.

Ebay. Most any brand you would ever want.
I'm still looking for a few, but I've managed to find quite a few onesie-twosies to complete sets. Takes a lot of time and patience.

I wasn't even considering HF. I figured if someone asked a question like that, they wanted something "good".

If I was "starting over" I would seriously consider HF/Pittsburgh sockets. They are probably equivalent to Craftsman at a fraction of the price.



FYI - 23mm is a "weird dog". Been a DIY wrench for almost 50 years and this is the first time I have a need for that size.

 

[Citation]

I think I used a 29/32nd for a similar job. The difference is less than .001".

Lowes has individual sockets

Yeah, because I can find 29/32 everywhere. LOL

Great, I'll never need it, but now I feel like I have to buy every 23mm socket available.... 3/8", 1/2" drive; chrome and impact; standard and deep... Does anybody make a semi-deep 23mm socket?

 

[akalian]

Lowes sells individual sockets, not sure if they have the size you want, though.

 

[ryan20021982]

Advance auto sells a couple good brands online standard and deep

Didn't find semi-deep 23mm, but how about extra thin wall 23mm? Got one of those yet?

[Coach James]

Like every auto parts store

The Advance Autos here have no open stock sockets and only 4 or 5 sets.

[shawhite]

I'm sure you can stop any snapon, Mac or Matco guy and they will have them.

 

[theoldwizard1]

I canceled my order for Armstrong ("Good. We can't get anything from them.")

Order Sunex from Amazon. Cost less also and I have Prime.

Thanks. Or maybe you ****.

Now, about universals... LOL

 

[Xicaque]

where are sunex made? never heard of them.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Taiwan or China, still good stuff for the money.

 

[yamaha0343]

Sears should have that.
