I need to replace my hubs to go with my new wheels; to do this I need a
1 and 5/16 inch socket with a thin enough wall that it will fit inside the
hub.  

Net-wisdom a few months ago said that Craftsman, Mac, Snap-on all had pieces
that would work.  

Well, scratch Craftsman.  They only make thru 1 and 1/4 in a 1/2" drive, and
all their 3/4" drive sockets are thick wall.  Apparently, the primary use (at
least around here) for these big sockets is tractor lug nuts, and thin wall
sockets were not lasting too long...

So, it looks like it's down to Mac and Snap-on.

Just FYI...

Matt
