Can anyone recommend a source for individual sockets? I have a few sets both SAE & Metric and I would like to add a few additional sizes to each.

Tekton and Capri online. Then Lowe’s, Home Depot and any auto parts store. They all have pretty good tools nowadays I use all of them professionally with no issues. My favorites are Napa and AutoZone for their tools especially sockets. Zoro is good too if you can find the deals but i prefer getting them at the store.

Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Ace Hardware, the Farm stores, auto parts stores.

Basically most everyone who sells sets, with the exception of Harbor Freight carries at least a limited assortment of singles.

Acme Tools and MSC Direct both offer individual sockets, even from brands that don't sell them individually sometimes.

... I think it would be nice to figure out a thread for this, but I am not sure how to organize it. We all have extras and all have something we are looking for...

I remember this one, Mike93LX. I was thinking more along the lines of exchange/swap:
I need A,B,C and am looking for D,E,F. The problem is to have this organized so we would not have 100+ pages.
May be having thread with links to
Have Snap On, MAC, Craftsman, SK (put more common brands) - looking for .....

Sounds like a full time job to manage it and keep things on track. How much effort are most people going to put into giving away some random sockets?

That's why I am not sure how to organize it in a good way given amount of brands people are interested in. The thread would need to have an option of erasing the posts where exchanges occurred and nothing was left
