    Sockets for wrenches - still available?

    Not exactly: Proto: https://www.zoro.com/static/cms/product/large/Z_x1r_ncpEx_.JPG MAC used to have them, maybe still does. Gearwrench makes a set like the Proto's Snap On (and I'm sure others) has low profile sockets or you can make your own if you have access to a surface grinder.

    Does cost REALLY dictate quality?

    Sure you are. Fact is in most cases you get what you pay for when buying quality products from the USA, Germany, the UK, etc. With the Asian stuff (excluding Japan) it's a **** shoot.

    Hex drivers.

    I have several sets, Allen and Vaco, not sure if they still make them, you could probably find a set on ebay. You can always grind down a set of the ball-drivers.
