The
reason to use a 6-point deep socket is that it will stay on the vice until
intentionally removed, and not that great torque is needed.


My answer to the Kurt handle question. The hub used to be a deep
socket.

That's a very impressive handle for a Kurt, but don't you think it is really
intended to steer a ship?
