One more chase from tool box to tool box, to find a ten MM socket. Of course, no other size is close enough to do.
Where can I buy a lot of 5 or 10 of these, and put in my various tool boxes? I've tried Ebay (has some separately). Best price I found was
4.10 plus sales tax, which isn't too bad.

Try pawn shops. They usually have a bucket of loose sockets you can get for a buck each and a break if you buy a bunch.
I had the same thing with 10mm, 5/16 and a few others you always seem, to lose.

I went to a pawnshop last week looking for an MP3 player and the smallest thing they had was a tablet computer. They did have a lot of tools, but I saw no little ones. But that was only one pawnshop in a small location.
I haven't done this, but you could go to a retail store and see what price you can get if you buy ten. The first clothing store in America with fixed prices was the one whose name I always forget in Philadepphia, in about 1870, but they probably dickered too.
I was planning on bargaining for a lifetime supply of double-edged razor blades, but while I was thinking about it, the stores pretty much stopped selling them, except for expensive ones, and the web didn't have normally priced ones either, so I bought 200 from Turkey.

Don't know about the quality,but ebay has some for $ 1.10 plus $ 2.00 shipping. They say if you order more to check for the combined price.
330548200824 is the number.

That's the deep wall; standard is probably cheaper. The Pittsburg stuff isn't too bad. That's what I use for the tooltube set on one of the bikes. If some skel rips the tube off I'm not out that much.

Thank you for reminding me. Some times, I do get brain failures, and this is one such moment.

Your subject says 100 mm, Typo?
100 mm is almost 4", pretty big socket. Where do you use them?

rbowman posted for all of us...
I wondered whom originally posted this. Stumped is in my KF. Only he would ask this. He's been hanging around for years and will tell you he's the expert on most anything. WHY would he post this question? He's probably broken more sockets from the Dollar store bargain bin than than Sears stocks. What a putz.
He needs the 100 mm ones to fix the window shaker unit that hangs out the back of his "dwelling". He will use it to beat on it until it works...

IIRC there is a point where shipping becomes 'free' but I don't know what that might be (I pay for Prime service instead).
