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.
Originally posted by moto748 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.
How much was pretty cheap? Have i been done at £15?

I usually can get hold of a set of three sockets from my local tool guys, he buys em in for me. 28mm 4 front spindle, 41mm 4 nearside rear wheel nut and 46mm 4 off side rear wheel nut. Do all three plus 1/2 inch to 3/4 drive convertor for £22 plus P+P if anybody is interested? Bradders and Mav among others have had em
