What sized socket square drive?

[Saffy]

Suspecting that for most of us 1/4" to 3/4" would have been enough choices but there always someone going to crop up with sherman tank in garden or a mog ;)

Anyhow what set do you find yourself reaching for most? I use my roebuck 1/2inch set on the Defender because that's what I have but of late I been hankering after something lighter to swing for a lot of the jobs so have just treated myself to a Halifords pro 3/8ths set.

on the car it is mostly 1/4 or 1/2 inch drive on the farm it is mostly inch drive stuff usually with 6 foot of scaffold tube for extra tightness!

i normally find 3/8 on top and 1/2 underneath.... i mean i don't use tools because shes sooooo reliable.  :^o

[hairyasswelder]

1/4" for the fiddley bits, 3/8" for the medium jobs and the bike, 1/2" for the heavier stuff, axles including 1/2" rattle gun  :-.

3/4" for the machinery repairs

I dont own a tool I have never used at least once  ;)

ive got a beta 1/2 inch rachet that cost £40 on its own, used to use it all the time but then i bought a bahco socket and spanner set that was reduced from £160 to £40 :dance: and can only think of 1 time ive used the beta since :doh:

3/4 is as big as I've got. Even my 600 ft/lb torque wrench is 3/4 (about 4' long).

I've only ever bent the breaker bar once, and that was with a 10' scaffold pole on undoing the wheel nuts (which some monkey had rattled up with an inch drive impact gun) on my old Bedford YMT. The nuts went. You'd have to be on some H E A V Y equipment to need inch and above  :lol:  Now where's that Zil.

Use burgon single hex for the majority of the work. Try to keep away from halfords and snap on as much as possible. I try to buy tools that last, not tools that have a lifetime warentee so that they can be replaced when they break.

It depends how big the nut is.

4-12mm, 13-19mm, 22 + etc

Its mainly the Elise that I work on and that's not rusty as most of it has been apart at some point (by me) and I always copper ease when I put things back. I use some bigger stuff on my Fergie, but that was built when Britain was Great and  is almost indestructible.
