  • odd socket sizes

    I got some old tools from my mom's uncle that nobody wanted and there was an old (plumb? brand) socket set 1/2" drive that included 29/32, 21/32, and 19/32 sockets. What kind of equipment would use sizes like that? The ratchet only clicks in one direction so to go the other way the center of the ratchet pops out and then put it back in from the other side to reverse. Made in USA of course.

    We have those 3 size sockets as well. Still in the tool box, but not used in years. We used to use the 19/32" occassionally, but I can't remember now what for.

      Craftsman used to make some sizes like that, believe it or not. I have some Craftsman tools that were my father's, and sizes like that are in that set. He was a maintenance mechanic in the 50's and 60's, to place it in time for you.

      Why is it that the inside of old truck cabs smell so good?

            sockets

            I grew up working on 40's dodges and plymouths, there were bolts that size on those cars but they went away from them later, but they were used and were common 60&70 years ago. PWdave.
