source for "micro" sockets?

RobertN · Jul 16, 2012

I'm looking for small sockets. In particular, would like to find a 3mm socket in 1/4" driver for use with a torque driver.

Everything I seem to find be web search, has a smallest socket of 4mm.

With the wealth I knowledge here, wondered if anyone had any idea's where to look? The torque driver is a Wiha. But the smallest socket Wiha has is 4mm...

Apex 3MM11 | 1/4" Square Drive Sockets has them for $50ish.
Otherwise, all that I see are hex drivers.

RobertN,

Could you buy a hex bit socket, and take the bit out?

I see mechanics in the plant who work on valves cary very small wrench sets,but don;t know the name of them. You could search 'ASME Valve mechanics Micro wrench sets". I thought they where Shrader wrench sets, but I thried that search and it appeared hopeless.I seem to thing it began with an "S", but thats no help

Their smallest is 4mm. I sent them a note asking if they might have them special order, or possibly refer me to a company who might carry them.

We have Wiha nut drivers in 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, and 3.5mm. Nothing to do with those fits the torque driver though. Wiha does no make a socket smaller than 4mm.
