craftsman 3/8-drive 6-point 8mm G-series deep socket?

[throwaway723]

Did Craftsman make anything smaller than 9mm on the 3/8-drive 6-point G-series deep sockets? The newer Craftsman has an 8mm - it's the CMMT99143. Not sure when they started making that size though.

On the flip side, did they make anything bigger than the 19mm for that set?

I have the 8mm G

Thanks. I'll keep my eyes peeled for one then. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going on a wild goose chase. Can you tell me the number printed on it? That may make it easier for me to search for one.

G2 - 6 point; 6mm 43516, 7mm 43533, 8mm 43536
G2 - 6 point; 21mm 43584, 22mm 43585

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but aren't those all shallow sockets? I'm asking about the deep sockets.

Yup. Didn't see "deep" when I read it.

I don't have one, but Armstrong did (part # 38-208), they also made 6 (38-206) and 7 mm (38-207) in 6 point 3/8 deep. If you are looking to fill holes, may be able to find some on e-bay. Not sure if this helps you or not.

 

[throwaway723]

That does help - thanks! I have plenty of Armstrong stuff. It never occurred to me to fill the gaps with their tools. Thanks for the part numbers.

I forgot the second part of your question. I don't have any craftsman sockets in 3/8 drive 6 point deep past 19mm. Armstrong make some larger than 19mm: 20mm (38-220), 21mm (38-221), 22mm (38-222), 23mm (38-223)and 26mm (38-226). These parts numbers came from a 2005 Danaher Corp, Armstrong catalog.

As far as I’m aware, Craftsman 3/8 deep 6 point sockets range from 9mm - 19mm, and the 12 points range from 9mm - 22mm, skipping 20mm.

I have complete sets of G1 and G2 sockets, never once ran into a deep 8mm. I always wondered why they didn’t make one.

My Craftsman set from many many years ago has 9mm to 19mm in a 3/8th 6pt deep socket.

I did add a 20mm 6pt deep from SK. It is almost a twin of a craftsman socket in height/size etc. I think OCD kicked in so I needed to buy a socket to fill the space.

I added a 12 point in 21mm and 22mm many years ago for some reason. Can not remember if 6pt was not available at the time. So now I go from 9mm to 22mm in deep 3/8th drive

*The post above mine spells it out. Glad I was not loosing my mind and that the world makes sense with Craftsman 3/8th deep sockets

Good luck

Thanks again. This is great info.

That's exactly what's driving me to do it too - it's bugging me that I don't have the same sizes for the deep sockets as I have for the shallow sockets.

 

[throwaway723]

Wow, SK has more of a range, don't they... I just came across a 26mm 6pt deep socket with 3/8" drive.

SK number is 8420 (20mm) Made in USA It is the same height as the 19mm and 21mm

 

[throwaway723]

That fits beautifully. Thanks!

 

[throwaway723]

Are all SK sockets made in the USA? Or have they started producing any overseas? I'd like to keep my socket set USA made. So if I can't be sure about the newer SK sockets, I may opt for Armstrong.
