Husky sockets

dr sportster · Apr 10, 2015

Hi, Just picked up a set of 1/4 inch drive Husky sockets with two missing 5/16s and the next smallest. The question is what size is next smaller than 5/16s?

Depends on if the set goes by 1/16 or by 32nds. If by 1/16 it would be a 1/4 inch. If by 32nd it would be 9/32

I was in High School when I bought my first tool set. It contained Husky 3/8 and 1/2 sockets plus the rachets. I still have both rachets and all the sockets - good tools. That was some 50 years ago.

Sorry to hear some are missing from your set.

By my math 11/32 is next size bigger than 5/16

1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32".

9/32 is a VERY important size if a guy is going to work in the dashboard and instrument panel of vehicles up to the metric era, especially GM and Chrysler.

Bob,

Only a 9/32 would work on the starter connections of a Dodge powered Winnebaga RV. Trust me when I say I was glad to have the wrench, laying in two iches of puddled rain and getting the connections tight.

Check the rest of the sockets above the 5/16, and see how they increase, by 32nds or 64ths.

I had it backwards . The 5/16s and the 11/32s is missing.
9/32s is in the rack
