Nut spinner sets.
Was looking for a set of nut spinners - say from 5 to 12mm - with deep
sockets, and they seem to be no reasonably priced ones around. Want fixed units - not one driver with a set of sockets. It's not something I need of the finest quality, since they won't get abused. -- *How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

NT I guess if you get no joy, they're not hard to make frmo a deep socket set. Quality wouldnt matter in this app. NT |

NT I've been carrying the same 3/16 nut spinner in my case for about 30 years and I use it almost daily to re tighten the retaining nuts on D-shell sockets on PCs. Why do people insist on tightening the retaining screws up with all their might? -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
