5/8" drive sockets
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:12 pm
So I bought a set of 4 really OLD Snap-On sockets today, they looked like 3/4" drive sockets, and seemed like impact sockets.
Found out that 1/2" drive is too small, and 3/4" is too big. So I went searching, and apparently Snap-On made 5/8" drive sockets. This makes these things worthless to me, except as seal and bearing driver adapters.
They all seem to be date coded for 1927. Sizes are 1 1/4, 1 3/8, 1 7/16, and 1 1/2".
So here's my question:
Is there any way I can get a Snap-On adapter for these things, so I can use them with my 1/2" drive ratchets and impact wrench? The old catalogs that Mr. Murch has generously provided on this website of his states the old part # is HD-1. Unfortunately, Snap-On doesn't sell 5/8" drive stuff anymore!
Here's some photos:
