I used a cheap 3/4 drive socket today for "home" use. Also some EMT.
I need a 1 5/8 DEEEEEEEEEEEP socket to tighten up the drain
retention nut on the drain I put in one of the mini mill enclosures.
Had some el cheapo 3/4 drive sockets from somewhere. Cut one in half
and welded a piece of 2" EMT between the halves. Worked perfectly.
Attaboy, Bob!

Bob isn't the first to come up with that idea , us Harley guys been using
one like that for years to get at the sprocket/front pulley nut on Big
Twins . Mine's made with a piece of 2" pipe about 3" long . It was a pure
bitch cutting that socket in half on the lathe , burned a couple of HSS
cutters before I figgered out it was tempered steel .
