14mm 1/2" drive socket - Must be 6 face

Postby xsspeed » Sun Dec 30, 2007 3:12 pm

as title, does anyone no where, or who has these in 6face.
Ripco supacrap and mitre10 megina only have the 12 face (triple square ones)

I had a 6face for a 3/8 drive but it was shitty and deformed when i was trying to undo the nut.

Or anyone in centrl auckland got one i can borrow for a few hours

I have a long socket set ( half inch powerbuilt) that's 6-sided. You can borrow if you want to take a trip out to botany :)

We (Ripco) can get them in... Just have to wait until after the 7th and go hit up the branch nearest you for some Koken sockets...

Anywhere that stocks powerbuilt can get 6-side sets - just ask to look in the catalogue at the long sockets.

go and buy a set of impact sockets, or go to Powerbuilt supplier for singles.
