Completed the SK socket set!

[hickory n Steel]

Well, I found some more S-K today! Almost completed my set of shallow metrics. 10-18, missing the 19 still but have a 7mm. They will fit in a used 1/4" socket tray S-K for now. Also grabbed a 5/8" deep and a 11/16" shallow.
Also found a classic green and white bit driver. Don't really like the thinness of the shank but it's the one I had when I started out. Anybody have a spare screw cap they could send me? I could re-tap the handle to a common thread but that would be a last resort.

I have a cap from a WF Craftsman I could send you if it'll work.

Hickory sent an 8mm S-K socket along with the driver cap, so now I'm only lacking the shallow 9mm and 19mm to finish off the set.

Then I have to get going on the deep metrics.

I didn't even know you needed that socket, only that I didn't need it.
I'm glad I sent it to you for sure.

Repainted the outside of the small socket box, inside was pretty good. You can hardly tell a difference.
I'm going to make a strip to keep the sockets in line, and found that even a small stature Snap-On 3/8" ratchet wouldn't fit in the remaining space. So, put my pair of ratcheting wrenches with my home made hex-to-square adaptors in there, which have a thin profile. Being the SK metric shallow sockets are so short that they lend themselves well to tight areas.

Now just need to get a deep metric set.

Here's a deep set that I was going to throw out, its been collecting so much dust from never having a socket turned even once.

I dunno....perhaps I should use it to prop up the '85 Cavalier in the front yard. Its been leaning on that one chipped cinder block that is shorter than the others for at least 20 years. The neighbors are getting mad at me.

Ooooh, nice FACOM era set! With a TUFF one ratchet even.

You should get nice money on ebay for a set like that.

It looks like the AZ dust is a fine preservative.

It's a dry heat!
