Allen socket sets

[chevy_tech]

So I have recently been building a tool set to use at home. I have been purchasing Allen brand socket sets and wrench sets from my local Mills Fleet and Farm, and Masterforce sockets and wrenches from a Menards. Allen brand and Masterforce seem to be identical sockets and wrenches with different labeling. Anyways, the selection of these brands of sockets seem to be hit or miss. For example, I can go to Fleet and Farm and purchase a set of 1/2" drive short impact sockets but not a set of deep sockets. They sell individual deep sockets but not sets. What I am looking for here is if anyone knows where I can find a larger variety of Allen brand tools. I want to stay with the Allen brand because of the warranty, sold locally, and the number one reason...made in U.S.A!

Check Amazon and eBay.

you can get a lot of the USA Allen stuff from www.cripedistributing.com and its fairly cheap also you can use "welcome back" at checkout for i believe 10 percent off. make sure they say USA in the description cause some are not.

x2 on Cripe, I just bought a bunch of Allen stuff from them to fill gaps in my Gearwrench set. They seem to deal in surplus/overstock (but at excellent prices,) so you may have trouble putting together complete sets.

FYI, Allen is made by Apex, who also makes Gearwrench, a lot of the Husky hard line stuff, and some stuff for Ace Hardware that's actually dual stamped Ace and Gearwrench. I believe they also make Masterforce as you noted. You may want to look at some of those brands where you can find them locally if you want to keep everything relatively matching. I don't have Mills around here, and rarely ever see Allen brand in brick and mortar stores outside of hex L keys.
