Looking for 3/8" 8-19mm Socket & Ratchet Set

[darkzero]

I'm having trouble finding a specific socket set if it even exists. I would like a 3/8" drive set with deep & shallow metric sockets only ranging from 8-19mm in a case with ratchet. China or Taiwan preferred, I don't care about brand name. I would like the case to actually have pinned hinges & not the flexible plastic cause they never last long for me. And if just the shallow sockets are 12 point the better.

This set will be kept in my truck. I have a HF set but the damn thing skips sizes & it pisses me off sometimes. If it weren't for that it would have been perfect.

Gearwrench 80559 was almost perfect but it's missing 19mm for the deep socket.

So far my eye is on the Tekton 45pc set but I really don't need the SAE sockets (so the case will be smaller).

I know what I'm asking for is really specific but anyone know of something like this before I pull the trigger on the Tekton set?

Thanks

Think I would be inclined squeeze/mod a 8mm and 19mm deep into the gearwrench set as not keen on tekton sockets. is annoying they skipped a couple .
My truck tools are hand picked and put in plastic barn style tool box with tote tray, do like blow moulded sets but is awkward getting exactly as you want .

What did you not like about the Tekton sockets?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but the price is right. This SK 91820 set often sells with only one bid. It's the best deal going right now and you get US quality on top of it.

This set has a few extra pieces but think it includes everything you're looking for. All 12PT though.

Proto also has a few 8-19 sets that are all 6pt or 12pt. Made in USA and cost considerably more.

Stanley makes some great sets to keep in your car.

My old SK 1824 metric set really sounds a lot like what your asking about. Something I have had for almost 4 decades now.

7mm-19 shallow with no skips and 12pt deep 10mm-15mm plus 17mm. 19 mm. and those all have a shallow broach too.

Though these days you would probably want to have both 16 and 18mm deep too

Nice set though with heavy duty steel storage case.

May be something out there still!

I have a HF set but the damn thing skips sizes & it pisses me off sometimes. If it weren't for that it would have been perfect.

Gearwrench 80559 was almost perfect but it's missing 19mm for the deep socket.

Snap on makes a standalone plastic case which solves your problem--of the case-- and so for <$20, you can combine SO case w/ either the existing hf tools (+missing) and/or the GW setup (+19mm deep).

Thanks for the suggestions.

Go HF then go on eBay and pick up the missing sockets in whatever brand you find. Or go to a local pawn shop that carries tools. Most of them have little bins of sockets to pick onesey-twosey from.

I want to say Kobalt has one, but I am not in the garage. Look at some of their sets.

Cant lose with Tekton

I have an all metric set from Kobalt in my service van. Unfortunately it's only 10-18mm. Deep and shallow with a ratchet, extension and swivel.

Tool discounter has a deal on gearwrench sets. Buy the 3/8 set and get the 1/4 set free. $103 for both I believe.

Skips some deep sizes but has more than you asked for in standard depth. And it's made in China like you asked.

there are many cheap sets out there if you search.

i just got this set for my trunk tool kit:

might add few pliers and wrenches to the kit bag.

Here is a nice Tekton set, it does not come with a ratchet, and it has a plastic case, but 7mm-19mm(without skipping) impact grade sockets for only $15. That is hard to pass up.

I've been eyeing this set to live in my car. It comes with Hex and Torx drivers as well, which both my european and japanese cars uses.
I think it's made in taiwan.

I think the Tekton set most closely meets what you asked for. The SAE makes the case slightly thicker, but the footprint is about the same as the Gearwrench. I was going to recommend a Williams set, but the case is the flexible plastic, and it's more expensive.

I have the 84 piece Tekton 1/2" drive set I keep in my pick up. The case is very good as are the sockets. I also have an Autozone 3/8" set I keep in the truck. No complaints with either.

I have never seen that set before, but it is pretty sweet That would go great in any vehicle.

I ended up getting the Tekton set & couldn't be happier for the price. Weird thing is the ratchet was bone dry, didn't even have oil in it. Not sure if it was supposed to be that way but I put some Super Lube in it & it feels much smoother now.

Case size with the standard sockets is a lot smaller than I thought otbwould be. They designed it to be compact pretty well & it doesn't feel cheap.
