6 pt deep impact sockets

[lightning02]

im in need of 4-6 pt deep impact sockets (1/2 drive)

1-1/4
1-1/8
1-1/16
3/8

anyone know where i can get those 4 or it is cheaper if i just get a set?

i can get a full set of $35-40 bucks

Probably depends on what you're looking for. I don't know where to buy those sockets individually unless you buy the more expensive brands?

HF or kobolt or tekton... and so forth. doesnt have to be snap-on or anything like that. as long as there good and not some china junk.

I usually go to Tooltopia.com for individual socket purchases.

It looks like the 1-1/16 will run you $9.97 and the 1-1/8 is $11.42

By the time you add the third big one, you will spend more than you would on a HF set.

I don't know if there is such a thing as a 3/8" six point deep impact with 1/2" drive.

yea thats what i was thinking as well. even if all 4 where $8 each it still wouldnt be worth it.

i ordered a tekton set. they have a sale going on anyways.

What set did you buy and from where?

I've had no issues with harbor freight impact sockets and I work on heavy equipment for a living. For regular chrome sockets you need to spend some money but as far as impacts I've been quite impressed by the cheap ones

What set did you buy and from where?

Tekton 14pc set. 3/8 - 1-1/4. From amazon and was on sale. $10 off.

Buying sockets just to fill the posts or holes on a socket holder doesn't make sense to me, but to each their own.

Well, I apologize if that's not why you need them. But now I'm curious, what does one use a deep 1/2" drive 3/8" socket for? That socket on an impact sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

its cool. im in the middle of buying the newer style impact thats the same size as the 3/8s drive ones so instead of buying all new set of 3/8s drive impact sockets im just going to buy the same impact gun in a 1/2 drive. such as a King Tony/m7 or the like impact gun.

im sure the 3/8 drive sockets are smaller overall, i dont work on things that would need every little bit of room. just the space i gain from a gun that small will be good. plus i dont want to spend the cash on buying all new 3/8 drive sockets which i dont have any of.

Congratulations on NOT having OCD. If you did, you would fully understand. Lol

Look up the sockets you need, grab those part numbers then search online for the best deal. These two companies make great sockets for the price and i highly recommend them.
