Snap-On parts ?

[Downwindtracker 2]

I picked up a tray with a 1/2" and 3/8" S-K socket sets, It came with two SO spark plug sockets and a S-K Wayne, all without the rubber protectors. I hate tossing tools that merely need a little repair parts. Is it worthwhile talking to SO ? With there being three, it looks like when the rubber died, he bought another socket.

He had a SO 3/8 flex-head breaker bar with the handle broken off, as well.

I generally toss the inserts from plug sockets. You can try SO for replacements or make your own from neoprene.

You could buy the cheap $1 spark plug sockets from your local auto parts store and take the inserts. I have also used rubber hose to replace them in the past.

Snap-on will probably have replacement inserts unless the sockets are old. Or if they're newer they might not use inserts because magnetic and retention are also options.

Repair parts tab at the following link shows the insert for their current 5/8".
