I just added the GW 3/8 metric deep set to my box at work, $30.99 at Advance Auto. I also pieced together a complete GW 1/2 drive set from various internet sellers. I don't use either a lot at work, but need to have them. The quality is excellent at the price point. There are some real deep discounts on GW if you shop around the 'net.

I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but, old Craftsman.
I'm assembling a metric set (shallow and deep) of "G" code Craftsman, and I'm finding alot of them at thrift stores, pawn shops, and used tool joints. My sets are 80% and 50% complete. Been looking maybe a month or so.

I would get SK, or Wright. If I had to buy China or Taiwan I'd get Gearwrench. Look on the classified section on this site. You might find a nice Snap On set for a good price.

i ended up getting the kobalt set. it was 16 bucks after tax. sizes 8-19 skipping the 16mm. we do not use the 16mm at work so no big deal.

i just got the HF 3/8 metric deep socket for $10 and boy are they nice. Easy to read and a nice finish. They go from 10mm-19mm with some skips.

Just picked up the GearWrench 3/8" deep metric set from Advance Auto. I used coupon code trt13 for $10 dollars off $30. Unfortunately the set I got was made in China.
