I have a few hex screws that i would like to remove. I bought a bit
for my drill at home depot and lost it on the way home. I remembered
that i had an old socket wrench set. Could someone tell me how this
works? I see at the 'head' of the rachet a turning figure, but don't
know its purpose. I assume they work on the same principle of clock
wise and counter clock wise...turning it counter clock wise had no
effect...what is the purpose of that 'turning lever' on the head? I
manipulated it to see if i get any effect, especially counter clock
wise, but there was no friction. Yes, at least i know that i have the
proper size, cause i felt the tension tightening it..

I can't wait to see the replies to this one.

Sorry that I cannot assist.

Turn one way to unscrew bolts, turn the other way to screw in bolts.

Dear Frenchie:

Grow up people....Europe has much more open and saner views on sex,
nuditiy, marriage, etc.....too bad Americans won't or can't learn
this....

That's because in Europe their sex is all metric and ours
is *standard* and just doesn't fit their openings. Ever
try it? You turn and turn the sockets but they just skip
without grabbing. It's a good way to strip your nuts if
you ask me.

Have another glass of Chablis my dear.
Now try some chardonnay.
Now some merlot.
Now some Ripple.
And some Beaujolais.
Repeat as needed.

The problem will dissolve before your eyes.

Prolly is a Mormon? I've been wondering who this Prolly woman is all over
the Internet. It is a woman right? Does she have a last name or is it like
Cher and Madonna?

Try the old car repair book, How To Keep Your Volkswagon Alive. It
shows all the basics and even warns the reader to not eat the wrench.

As a mechanic I once had a woman as an assistant, when ever she used a
wrench to loosen or tighten a nut she would sing...RIGHTY
TIGHTY....LEFTY LOOSEY....
$15.00 per hour....equal rights.....

That thing is called a Rat ****. You can only use it if there are
rats in your garage.
