Sears carries them, just not in 1/4 inch drive. I stumbled on one of their
500 piece sets being gotten rid of cheap last year and it included a set of
3/8 and 1/2 inch drive 8 point sockets. - Tw
Sears Item Number: 44341
1/4-IN. 8-PT. STD. SOCKET
3/8 -in. Drive Individual Standard Sockets. Thin-wall construction gives
access to hard-to-reach areas without loss of socket strength. Lead-in
chamber lets sockets slide over nuts easily, reduces wear...
Weight: 0.06 lbs.
Price: $ 2.99
