I am in need of a 2 1/8 inch deep well socket. 3/4 or 1 inch drive would do. Does anybody have any suggestions about where to go buy one. I don't want to spend snap on tool prices either. Any suggestions would be helpful. I live in Northeast Ohio, Wayne County. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I went to sears, Napa, and other tool stores and checked some online. I did find two places to get it from. Mac Tool Trucks and I found a local place in Wooster, OH that had an 2 1/8" deep well socket in stock for 35 bucks. But I had to get an impact socket that is all they had. I had my choice of 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 inch drives. The place is called Tircore in Wooster. If anybody needs something like this in the future I will be glad to help out. Thanks.

If it was me I'd buy one from NAPA+-$10.
Cut it and weld in the extension I needed.

If you're looking on Ebay, don''t forget to check the Business/Industrial "professional tools" and "construction" categories. There are a lot of larger Proto and Armstrong single sockets floating around on there that can be acquired easily....

Why is that a special size? At sears the craftsman rack has it all and a lifetime warranty. But I am in a big town.

Sears does not have the deep or deep well sockets in 3/4 drive this size.

I may have an extra one . Do you want the one that has the fingers sticking out for the 4 wheel drive front hubs or a regular socket ? Email me your address in case I find one . Ken

Depending on how big a hurry you are in Ebay is a good place to find individual sockets. I filled out a 3/4 drive Williams set one at a time. I made sure of what shipping and purchase price would be compared to what I could buy one from Sears. That was my baseline.

I did some various searches and came up with a 2-1/8 stamped steel socket, the deep type, used for axle nuts on trucks and 4x4 axles, it is Ebay # 4581095567 This will not handle a lot of torque however.

I did not find any deep 2-1/8 sockets other than this. Most sockets this large are fairly deep anyhow, so I thought I'd pick out a couple of regular ones to show you.

Armstrong impact socket, Ebay # 7552047775

Snap-on NON-impact 12 point, black oxide finish is Ebay # 7553415075

Just plug the ebay listing number in the search box and it will take you right to it.

You have to do several different searches. I searched for "deep socket" "deepwell socket" "2-1/18 socket" "2 1/8 socket"

Some of these searches turn up 1-1/8 and 3-1/8 also, others turn up a host of other stuff. Don't do just one search and throw your hands up in disgust, try other possibilities.

I have found many people don't describe listings very well Searching for a common mispelling of "hydraulic" turned up over 60 listings, including a pretty nice H frame press that will sell for cheap if at all, due to the misspelling.

On a size 1 7/8" I needed I used used a 1" drive that the shaft fit through then welded my own handle on the side of the regular shallow socket.This only works where you have room to swing the handle.

Check pawn shops, I have been able to find some decent tools at decent prices there.

Don't forget the flea market!!! I shop there all the time. Last two weekends I expanded my set a little bit and now have 1 1/16-1 1/8-1 1/4 for all of $7.00. One is craftsman, one Porto, and a Whilliams. All are 1/2 drive and work great. About one month ago one of these tool guys had a REAL DEAL> He came up with 40 wheel barrow kits. These were the real deal 6cu ft contractor jobs. I bought one from him for only $20.oo It is a bute of a minny tank. Love those deals! Jeffcat
