As per title, (I think they are 30mm?) looking for someone who makes a deeper socket so I can get some hub nuts off - using a 1/2" breaker bar.

Some seem to come off fine but other the threaded spindle sticks out too far.

Or do I need to go to 3/4" gear?

I use kingtony deep 30mm 1/2" socket without any problem for that task.

Sweet cheers!

got mine from toolshed i think. its just a powerbuilt socket must be relatively common. pretty pricey though IIRC mine was ~$50. invaluable when dismantling cars though so prob worth it.

Put your welder to good use and make something :wink:

chop a crappy old standard one in half and add extension legs or something haha.

I got this set a couple years back, suits most, but nothing that quite fits 30mm.

I extended a 30 and 32mm socket as BZG|Bling suggests, they do the job fine

Koken also do one. Only gets used every couple of years but is vital when needed.

super cheap calibre range - $11 or similiar pricing. I ended up buying the 30 and 32mm.

note that late model toyotas (year 2000 above) need a 12 point 30mm socket.

by **DeeCee** » Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:45 pm

just counted the calibre socket = 12 point

Most tool manufacturers will make them. Cheap ones will break eventually. Buy impact ones, regardless of if you're using them on air tools or not

by **DeeCee** » Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:03 pm

of course cheap ones will break, but for that odd job, the calibre is fine. Otherwise I use my Ampro or impact sockets, but at the time, I needed a cheap fix
