imperial sockets
I'm after a 1/4" drive 1/4" socket. I don't want to buy a whole set, just this one socket. Ebay is drawing blanks and giving me just metric.
Does anyone know where I might order such an item, from the comfort of my armchair? Thanks Luke

Luke your best bet is going to be your regular Engineer's supplier. There is bound to be one near you somewhere. These are good places to know as they often sell things that can have bike applications.....cheaper than bike type outlets.
Or better still you not got any older friends or family? There is every chance they will have Imperial sockets and spanners kicking about?

Ben...Until recently they did always used to throw a small selection of Imperial sizes in with a metric boxed set.

My Halfords 1/4" socket set has the imperial sockets. Maybe get one from them?
