Did SK make semi deep sockets?

[WastedAgain440]

I had a few of these shorter sk deep sockets already and found a few more at pawn shops.I was wondering if they made the smaller sizes shorter or are these actually semi deep sockets? Trying to piece together a set.
That's a craftsman deep socket in the back for comparison. Thanks in advance!

Is the craftsman socket a matching size? I just found a few smaller SK "feels" at the local thrift, haven't made the comparison.

Have been looking into this too. Sk makes them in impact if you search amazon and/or harry epsteins . From reading GJ their chrome deeps are really equivalent to most manufacturers semi deeps as there is no “standard” apparently. Similar story to long pattern wrenches as one really needs to look at actual dimensions to make an informed decision.

Well the craftsman was a 13mm and in the picture it's right behind a 1/2" SK.

Smaller sizes are shorter in SK deeps, my 3/8 set, the 3/8 socket is 1 3/4 long, 9/16 is 1 7/8 long, then they jump to 2 1/2 at 5/8 and larger. I dont have any other drive sizes in deep.

Yeah, in my 3/8" SK spline drive set, the smaller ones in the set are shorter.

I have a 1/4 drive metric mid depth that I got this summer from Harry Epstein.They are some of the finest quality and handy sockets that I have recently purchased.They are easily my go to sockets at least in 1/4 drive.SK makes good stuff IMO.

SK made the smaller sizes shorter always. They do have "extra deep" sockets in the smaller sizes that are as deep as the bigger sizes.

In the 1/4" drive they did make a mid length socket set.

Thanks for the help guys, I’ll continue to keep an eye out atleast I now have an idea of when they start to jump in size.

I just noticed the strange length, compared to Craftsman deep well sockets. Not sure why they do this, but I am still piecing together a SK 3/8 deep set in sae.

Chrome 1/4" and impact 3/8".
