I'm looking for a set of Craftsman 1/4" drive 6 point metric sockets. Preferably G series but I'm open to any newer sockets.

I'm looking for deep sockets primarily but, if you've got a set of deep and standard, I may be able to handle it. I am also looking for a 4.5mm craftsman standard height 6 point socket but haven't really run across them.

Looking at <$15 shipped for a set. Used preferred but no owners marks please. Let me know and hopefully my touring any can be more completed soon!

Need DEEP sizes:
8mm | 10mm | 12mm | 13mm

and maybe, at the right price want DEEP sizes:
6mm | 7mm | 9mm | 11mm

I don't believe C-man makes a 4.5mm socket. I've been buying/selling them for awhile and have never seen one, only the 5.5mm.

Really!? Oh man!! I found one here Tool Works AU

BUT, I will take your word above a foreign seller.

It states the model number "37081" if anyone's a cman dealer or has more resources than me. (Which is most of you around here)

Thanks for the info. And no, this isn't a sarcastic remark. I'm just a bit bummed. I wanted a full run darnit!

As Big Bad Pete states, no 1/4" drive in 4.5 both shallow and deep and only shallow in 5.5 going back to Craftsman open stock to 2008-09.

Tool Truck purchase as a single fill-in is your best bet.

Good to know about the 4.5mm. I know the part number was for something like a loawnmower part or something, weird. Thanks for the input though! I was about to ensue on a massive snipe hunt! thank you all for the time saver, much appreciation. Anyone know if any tool trucks carry armstrong? I *think* that would probably be the closest match to the rest of the craftsman's. I may just forget getting a 4.5mm though, honestly, who here has ever actually needed one? Now, of the ones who said yes, are you more than a DIY'er/dorm room dweller? My bet is you are, so I really probably won't ever come across a fastener in need of one.

Still looking for some deep craftsman sockets, preferably G code (older). I would *like* them to match but, it's not for show so matching codes aren't a big deal.

we spent alot of time digging through pawn shop bins looking for them, they are hard to get. Sears needs to update what they sell.

WOW! Props to @dieselmike for the proof. Is there a part number on it? If it's Pacific Rim craftsman, I may be able to settle without but it would be fun to have, sort-of a practical novelty (yeah, it's the very-rare two-fer). Any thoughts of selling it though? If so, shoot me a PM.

No 5.5mm deep though? Wow, THAT does kinda surprise me. Probably a good reason for it though.

Thanks guys! Still looking for a handful of sockets but, I think I've got my urgent list filled. (still thinking about your offer though @camarotoolman. waiting on pics) You know you've peaked the community interest when you've got the greats of @kc-steve chiming into your thread. Thanks man, you would know!

amend the pm from earlier this morning. I found the 14 and 15 mm to go with the G series 3/8 drive 12 point shallow metrics, they all have the knurled base.
Also found EE series from the late 80's 1/4 drive 6 point shallow metric 10 piece set 4-13mm -whole sizes only (no 4.5 or 5.5)

Well, found some Craftsman 4.5mm sockets. They are sold in the Craftsman Evolv 77 piece tool set

I've got the Allen set that's exactly the same minus bulky/lime green handles and it has Allen branding instead of Craftsman. How have they not brought out a core line 4.5mm Craftsman socket though!?

Pic from my set:

L to R: 5.5mm [66737]| 5mm [66736]| 4.5mm [66735]| 4mm [66734]
