Does anyone know where I can buy a socket set (preferably impact) which immediately go into the hexagonal flats rather than being designed for bolts which have some kind of collar on them?
I ask because I borrowed one such socket from my neighbour yesterday for torquing very shallow headed flywheel bolts which sit flush onto the flywheel. They allow you to grip absolutely all of the edges of the bolt. His one had been made by taking an existing socket and cutting off the end few mm on a lathe to make it a flush fit. If I need to I'll do that but if I can buy them off the shelf it may be easier.
