10mm magnetic 1/4 socket recommendation

[JeffKeryk]

I would appreciate your thoughts on a 10mm magnetic 1/4" drive socket. Probably deep or semi deep.
Thanks in advance.

Just one socket?

Just one socket?

Yes. Nowadays it seems like I might as well not bother to put the 10mm away...

Go eBay. You can get a used one (Made in USA) for relatively low price. Good luck

There should be a 10mm set. Every possible configuration in one kit.

Opinions on the quality will vary, but at least someone has thought of it:

Yep, and if you don't have a HF near you, OR has something similar, minus the impact sockets: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...tandard-6-point-metric-socket-set/ptt0/gm8465

I like the AP set. It's glow in the dark and they have a sense of humor. The latter will be lost on ~70% of BITOG users who lack a sense of humor.

I make them and man do they have some pull, it can easily lift a long 8oz metal air hammer bit. I use a locking extension or QR ratchet so it doesnt stay on the bolt. I made a set 8-19 from old Craftsman and oddball sockets in 1/4 and 3/8, just super glue them in, get the magnets here..

Why not just put inserts in all your sockets?

My snap on 1/4 magnetic deep socket is absolutely wonderful.

Do you use a particular super glue? I need to reattach some magnets that have come out of things like digital angle finders and my Royal 3-jaw chuck stops (which are aluminum)

IIRC it was Loctite or Permatex I grabbed at wallys. It has been holding up with no problem for years.
