3/4" drive socket SAE / metric same size question

[johninct]

I don't use my 3/4" drive sockets much but when I need them, I need them. I want to get some metric ones and noticed that some of my SAE sockets also have the metric size on them as well. Because I won't use them much and don't have that much room in my 3/4" drawer, I only want to buy the metric sizes that don't have an SAE size equalivant. Does anyone know the SAE/ Metric sizes that are the same to 50mm( example 3/4" is 19mm) ? Then I can figure what metric sizes I need to get. Thanks!!

Try this:

3/4 = 3 divided by 4 = 0.75
0.75 x 25.4 (mm in an inch)
= 19.05mm

There are a few that will be close like that. Crunch the numbers for the sockets you do have and you'll soon know.

Northern tool has wide selection of metric 3/4 drives. my local store had them 1/2 off with 20 dollar coupon for $100, they come out cheap! the 48mm+ probably never used them but are great as addapters for the press

'nother example: 1-1/16": 1/16 x 25.4 + 25.4 = 26.9875mm

SnapOn was kind enough to double mark my 1/2" drive deep impact sockets.... Might want to visit their website and check for the same markings on their 3/4" drive...
