Anybody selling these anymore?

Ratchet is Matco branded BLPF9. Socket is Armstrong 38-615 15mm bought at Grainger. I really like these, wouldn't mind having extra's.

The Matco Special Forces and Armstrong Eliminator socket systems are not readily available anymore.
I might have a couple of the Eliminator sockets left, i will check on the van and get back to you.

edit - Nothing on the van, but i definately have some N.O.S Eliminator sockets and maybe a ratchet. I will have to look in my lockup, but i can't check there until tomorrow.
It might be worth your while sending a pm to Teken, as he had some N.O.S Eliminator sets advertised in the GJ classifieds, he may have sold them though as it was some time ago.

I thought I saw the pass thru sets in the Matco catalog.

Thanks for the tip!

Gearwrench makes the "Vortex" series; which is similar... check it out here...
I'm sure the quality on the Matco was higher; they have also integrated the Metric/Standard sizes into the sockets, maybe someone here can tell us how they like them!

Thanks for the tips all. The 1/2 drive set on Ebay is what I was looking for, a Special Forces set would be even better (I like black tools) but I'll settle for chrome. I have all the ratchets that Matco sold at the time. Now if I can find a socket tray for this new set all will be golden.................

All i have managed to find is an N.O.S Armstrong Eliminator 3/8 ratchet part number 11-902. Now where did i put those sockets

Matco still has some sizes of the sockets left, or at least they dis 6 months ago when I was looking for some for a customer.

Hi, If you are still looking I am about to post a Matco Special Forces 21 piece ratchet and socket set, with 3/8" adaptor and a 3" and 2" extension. All look nearly new but have some use, case is in great shape too. I can send pics to an e-mail address and would be willing to hold off the ebay listing for a couple of days waiting for your response. Thanks.
