Time to buy new stuff
I have limited chrome 1/2 sockets, most are Sk or craftsman since i have pretty good coverage in 1/2 impacts so I usually just reach for an impact. This morning I ran into an oil pressure sensor on a silverado that required a deep 27mm deep socket, my snap on and Sunex 27 mm impacts were too thick walled to clear and the broach on my deep chrome craftsman wouldn't clear the plastic sensor. I dug out an old snap on chrome out of my buddy's box and got the job done. Looking for suggestions for 1/2drive chrome that have the most clearance, can't quite swallow the snap on deep set price, although the Williams sets given in the catalog seem to have a pretty high working depth. Prefer US made but I'm open to any quality brand, not really looking at craftsman. Whatever it ends up being, I'll probably end up buying basic sets (10-15 piece) of metric and sae
