Tips for Finding Replacement S-K Sockets

[straightcut]

Guys, I've got two sets of S-K 3/8 drive, 6 point metric sockets. One set is missing one socket and the other is missing three sockets. I've found S-K sockets of various vintages had different lengths (std. depth; not deep).

Can you offer any tips of who I might check with to find correct length replacement sockets for those that I am missing? Unfortunately, my post count is too low to post a WTB listing I've checked with BigAkita - a tool seller on eBay, but he only has one socket that will work for me.

Two sockets that I am most in need of are: 8mm ~ 1.020" tall and a 14mm ~ .090" tall. I'm guessing length based on neighboring socket lengths in the set.

An S-K socket swapping/trading section would be awesome here on GJ. I have other sockets to swap, but would also be happy to swap cash!

Thanks for any tips!

direct to sk website, you should be able to filter down to what you are looking for and will get a product #.

Can order from tooltopia, other sites might have them too.

.090" huh?

Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize the S-K catalog lists socket length - I'll have to look at that. I believe the 14mm is from an older set - the sockets in that set are shorter than the other set.

.090" huh?

Super duper extra shallow.


OP, I'll see what I have in my "bucket O' sockets" tomorrow.

HaHa! Ya got me! Let's try hitting the correct key - like .990".

Yeah, you guys with the lofty post counts can post in the wanted section. Us rookies have to beg, grovel and scrounge off of eBay for our obscure hardware needs!

Ok, I dug through every box, bucket and tote. Total count of SK 6pt sockets....... ZERO. Sorry man, I tried.
