No. However, Armstrong made it.

Craftsman went to 14mm (I've definitely got one in the truck, and maybe some older ones kicking around) and 9/16" in 1/4" drive IIRC.

SK 40714 is a 15mm, SK 40715 is a 16mm. Both 1/4" drive. Also, ProtoJ4715M is a 15mm

There are times that the level of reading comprehension either amazes me or simply amuses me.
Wiz did not ask if anyone made such a socket or even who made that socket.
The question was whether Craftsman offered it.

I can't always tell if it's a reading comprehension failure... I suspect at least some of the posts were suggesting alternatives in case the OP needs a US- made one. After all, Fedwrench answered the question in the first response.

Forums in general these days. Answering the question asked or instead not answering seems a skill that people are losing. Obviously failing to spend the time to properly understand the question and subsequent replies is another issue.

The problem is not the answers but the question. For a start, “Does this socket exist” is a useless thread title. A title should tell the reader whether they want to read the thread or whether they might have something useful to contribute. This doesn’t.
Next, no context whatsoever is given. Why does theoldwizard1 care if this socket exists? Why should we?
The question as it stands cannot be answered except in the most literal, uninteresting way. It’s boring. It’s a waste of time for everyone involved. It would only be redeemed with context.

Seems clear to me, did Craftsman make a 15mm 1/4" socket. The poster doesn't need to justify the legitimacy of his question. Maybe he has a Craftsman fetish, fine with me. If I dont think a question is worthy of my time I have the option of moving on without replying.
The problem with what you say above, for less trivial threads than this, is that it leads to the "ill answer the question *I* think should have been asked, not the question that was actually asked" phenomenon.

Who cares if Craftsman made it, fact is that a lot of companies do. TOPTUL only goes to 14mm in 1/4" drive so I needed a 15mm shallow and deep in 1/4" drive. I simply went to McMaster-Carr and they have them. Typically they ship Proto. When you have McMaster-Carr why do people search the earth for something where if it exists on planet Earth they're got it. I know for a fact that Gearwrench makes 'em as well.

I struggled on whether to put the entire question in the title and then just repeat it in the body.

Craftsman collectors would care. There are tóol collectors on this forum, as well as users. If the OP had mentioned his reason for the question, he might have forestalled some of the unresponsive responses.

Not a collector and no "fetish".
As mentioned, I just bought a 9/16 1/4 drive socket, something I have wanted for years. The 15mm would be another "nice to have".
FYI - Amazon now "stocks" most Craftsman hand tools.

And Armstrong has made Craftsman tools at times it followed that to match an existing Craftsman set, Armstrong would especially be worth looking at.

I have Craftsmans 9/16 both shallow and deep in 1/4" drive.
Only 12mm in shallow but 14 MM in deep.
