46mm sockets for rear wheel
 

I was at the Dirt Rider Expo at Stoneleigh yesterday and a company called AB Tools PO Box 112, Market Drayton, Shropshire TF9 4WA 016306 72748 were selling 1/2 inch drive 46mm (or 1 13/16") sockets that have had the chamfered edge turned down and has only 6 sides to give better grip on the narrow rear wheel nut for £15. It was second hand but still cheaper than any new ones i've seen.

just thought it may be useful.

Sounds good value, I've just coughed £50 for a 41mm, 46mm and extension bar with 3/4 drive so £15 is definitely a bargain.

I've got a 1 13/16" 6-point socket from Halfords, it's a standard car part, ball-joint nut or something. No chamfer either and pretty cheap IIRC.

Yep, I have the cheap Halfrauds version too. Has worked perfectly well so far.

How much was pretty cheap? Have i been done at £15?

Not really, I seem to remember a similar price for the Halfords one.

:lol: My local Halfords said they didn't stock anything in that size. "Are you sure you need something big? What is it, a truck?"

And then we had the torque conversation ... "Are you sure you need to torque it up that much?"

He was a real snapperhead!

So, I haven't bought anything yet ...

NUTS
