Allen Sockets

[WarrenJ]

I stopped by a tool sale yesterday and brought home 6 sockets to fill some empty spots in my cabinet.
3 were Allen deep well, 11263, 11259, and 11368. I have not been able to find any info on these via the internet.
All my search for Allen, end up with Allen (hex wrenches). Anyone have any info on these sockets.

Thanks in advance.

Try searching for Allen mechanics tools, allen hand tools, etc.

If US made, basically the same as Craftsman, KD, NAPA and others from the 1990's. The brand of mechanics tools was killed off several years ago to pave the way for Gearwrench's expansion. Allen also offered imported made tools under the same brand.

Visit the Cripe Distributing ebay store for for examples of allen mechanics tools on closeout.

Yeah last year parent co APEX killed off Armstrong and Allen tool brands. Any you find are going to be used or New Old Stock. Still see some NOS sets on ebay.

Thanks. I also picked up an Armstrong at same sale. All are used, but in good shape.
