Thanks, I know gearwrench had full broach but made in Taiwan. It's starting to look like the only option though, I know the old school cman were full broach, I dont know if they offered mid length. Doesnt matter today though I guess

Hard to not want the gearwrench considering cost to socket design/spec you get, they decent .
Koken do some nice ones if Japan coo takes your fancy .

I sold off a set of mid length Snap-on because of the shallow broach and replaced with Gearwrench. They're good sockets.

Good to now know Carlyle is offering them too.

quite a few taiwan offerings, GW is silly cheap at times .
Carlyle nice at deal price .
Koken japan nice if want more slender walled socket .

Trying to find info on the actual depth of the broach on Gearwrench semi-deep in 3/8" drive. Anyone know where to find measurements on the net? The GW site does not have that measurement , pretty much everything but. Or maybe someone could measure a socket? Say a 9/16"

Actually Gearwrench has the information on their site. You just have to open the catalog up, scroll to page 135, whee you'll find a breakdown on sae mid length socket demensions. I t looks like the 9/16 socket is 1.81 inches long overall with the broach being .83 inch deep.

I've only got 3/8" semi deeps in metric, but could happily do 1/4" ones in SAE or metric if you're interested. A comparable 14mm socket measures 46mm tall and the broach is about 22mm down from the top/outer lip of the socket.

Thanks for the pictures and measurements.

Aaah, yes, OK. It is there. That's what I looked at before, but for some reason the generic drawing shape and the term "wrench depth" was making me think it was a different measurement.

Thanks,
