Couple Tool Suggestions

[Zewnten]

First: does anyone beside craftsman make a deep broached socket? I need it to be 12 point 3/8 de deep, it’s for a sensor that’s just a hair smaller than the flats. It’s in a horrible position so nothing else will reach.

Second: need 1/2 drive torque adapters 7/8 and 15/16. Snap on makes 1” and above in 1/2 dr and those sizes in 3/8 but I need the higher torque wrench range.

Third: Dickies no longer sells a lined polyester blend work pant. Suggestions? I need the polyester, cotton absorbs too much water from the condition I work in.

1. Try Ko-ken (they are pretty good at listing internal/external dimensions and have a massive range of sockets)

2. Stahlwille sell lots of different Torque adapters in both metric and Imperial sizing (pricy though)

3. A European Workwear brand called "Snickers" might sell what you need, it may be sold under a different name in the USA

Pretty much all Taiwan sockets are deep broach.

For lined pants. Costco Eddie Bauer has fleece lined poly pants for pretty cheap. There not poly like the dickies workwear fabric but more an athletic/outdoor poly fabric. I prefer duck myself, so I'm not totally sure what else is out there. Wrangler makes some good cheap lined carpenter pants but there duck canvas.

I have a 15/16" chrome Proto deep socket that's broached very deep. Its part number is J5330.
