Where to get a 1/2" drive 8mm socket? Impact or chrome, deep or shallow, don't really care.
Seems most tool brands only go down to 9 or 10mm. Anyone know where to get an 8mm?

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Did a bunch of digging and found what I needed.
SK makes an 8mm 1/2" shallow impact - part #34058
Proto makes an 8mm 1/2" deep impact - part #7308M
I ended up buying the Proto.

Not even close boys.
The tranny tunnel plate on a C5 is held in with 36 8mm bolts. My electric impact makes quick work of it, but it's a huge pain with using adapters and such. They're always seperating and wobbling around. A single deep socket will (hopefully) work much better.

Yeah that's all I need, more power tools outside while I'm working on the car 
Plus, the impact is way faster. Makes a difference when you're doing 36 bolts.
