</span>FWIW, the swivel socket used to be readily available at Sears.=C2=A0=
However, I was looking for a similar socket in 5/16" (to remove the<b=
r>
throttle shaft pivots) and it appears from the web site that Sears no longe=
r stocks the 1/4" drive flex sockets.<br>
<br>
So, I ordered this set from Amazon instead<br>

<br>
Ordered it Friday, got it today.=C2=A0 It didn't come in the blow-molde=
