I have a full set of hansen socket trays and want a socket on every peg but im not finding them all. All of my sockets are craftsman and i went yesterday and bought everything they had that wasnt in my kit and spent 123 bucks on 17 sockets but I am still missing sevral. The snapon site dosnt even list some of them I found 7 there and it would be 136 dollars. Hopefully sombody can point me in the right direction for some reasonably priced preferably american made sockets. I am assuming they exist if the trays have pegs for them.

Here is what im missing.

1/2" drive deep
3/8"-7/16"-1 1/4" 10mm-11mm-20mm-23mm-25mm

1/2" drive short
23mm

3/8" drive deep
1/4"-5/16" 6mm-7mm-8mm-20mm

1/4" drive deep
1/8"-5/32"-5/8" 4.5mm-5.5mm-15mm

1/4" drive short
1/8"-5/8" 4.5mm-15mm

Look for Armstrong sockets from MSC direct or fastenal. They will even match your Craftsman sockets pretty closely.
I am always entertained by the fact that you'll never use a 20mm socket but, there are so many people that can't bear the sight of an empty Hansen peg.:lol: I think it's a conspiracy between Hansen and tool companies.:wtf:

You might need to find a bigger Sears with a larger socket assortment (or maybe a Sears Hardware store).

Craftsman has most of the sockets on your list. Check their open stock catalog, as this should list everything they have:

e*bay might be another good bet for obtaining the "full" socket range; I've done this in the past to get full sets of metric 1/4" 6 point deep sockets, etc. Someone usually has sets like this listed all the time.
