Default does Sears sell a 17mm allen/hex socket?

I went to change my transmission fluid today and I read wrong. I thought I just needed a 17mm socket, not an allen socket...oh well next time. I didn't even know that they made them that big, the thing is huge.

I took a picture and posted a followup in Tanman's guide if anyone was looking for one.

Default i had a very hard time finding a 14mm allen key at sears...

i went to 2 and searched online. What I ended up doing was buying it from mcmaster.com in socket form. Quality of the socket isnt great but it was pretty cheap.

When I lost my Snap-on socket, I think I picked the new one up at Autozone for well under $10.

Default One thing Autozone has worth buying 12mm,14mm,17mm Allen Socket set about $10 I think

I'm unsure on price ,bought them last year so I can do rear diff fluid when weather warms. They were most definitely under $15.
