[AT] Sockets update

[Grant Brians]

Here is an update to my sockets saga. I finally broke down and am bidding 
higher on EBay and expect to get the 7/8" 8 point socket soon. That's the 
good news. Now for the ongoing challenges.... I still need to find drag link 
sockets. I have been searchin locally and extensively. There seems to be a 
dearth of them on EBay currently too. So, here is the information about 
them.
    I am rebuilding Ag sprinkler heads. I have been using pieces of mild 
steel so far as "screwdriver blades" for the slots on the bottom of the 
sprinkler head central tube. The issue is that I cannot apply even pressure 
with this method and so the brass sometimes gets broken off. This is clearly 
unacceptable! So the solution is to use drag link sockets.
    The problem is the cost of the new ones from Snapon and the minimal 
selection from MAC (oh and the cost there too....) No one offers them at 
what this poor farmer type considers a reasonable price anymore. So, I need 
to get several sizes of them (ranging from 1/8" thickness to 1/4". The width 
needs to be at least 7/8" on each of these. This does match the traditional 
sizing of the drag link sockets. It is not important to me whether these are 
1/2" drive, 3/4" or 1" drive as all are usable. But the easiest would be 
either 1/2' or 3/4" drive.
    Can anyone sell me what I need at an inexpensive price? Please let me 
know.
