Thin Wall Sockets

Anyone know where I can purchase a 1/4 inch drive 7mm thin wall socket. I am trying to remove the Recirculating Door Actuator and my craftsman standard 7mm socket will not fit due to interference of the plastic.. Need a thin wall socket.

Thanks!

Different Socket Size

Turns out that the other screw was not a 7mm socket size, it required a 9/32" socket. Bad assumption on my part thinking they required the same size socket.

I would presume you searched Google. I searched the major tool companies .. NO LUCK.. You might be reducing the outside to make your own thin wall.. IF so use a cheapie
