Inexpensive Flank Drive Sockets

[thinman]

Which brands of inexpensive sockets have flank drive? I do want sockets that push on the flat and not the corner.

Need a 3/8 drive socket set for the truck box that goes to the pick yard. These won't get worn out. Snap-on, S-K and Wright are too much money for as little as I'll use these but breaking a socket or rounding off a fastener is a huge pain when you're in a pick yard far from home (especially when it's cold outside).

Thanks!

I think the question is, does anyone NOT have it?

Most sockets these days are off corner engagement. Just buy something cheap. ***** when u loose a socket at the grave yard

Get 6 point sockets at least.

Thanks everybody. This is a great forum. Old sockets I've been using were bought used at a lawn sale and weren't flank drive. I didn't know even the HF stuff had been upgraded. Pittsburgh Professional price sounds about right for this application. The 6 point suggestion is a good idea, too. Pick yard stuff can be rusty!
