Sets or individual AF,Whitworth BSF and BA box spanners (some still British made) and deep sockets stocked also deep and impact sockets in AF sizes for use with wheel guns etc.Deep whitworth sockets,whitworth box spanners,whitworth open ended and combination spanners etc see here All the sockets and socket sets I sell by mail order or auction are of professional quality,if a socket fails in normal use,send it back and I'll replace it, simples. The sizes of spark plug sockets (10,14 mm etc) refer to the diameter of the thread not the size of the spanner needed on it.For a 10mm plug the spanner would be 16mm or 5/8 inch af,for 14mm it would be 13/16 inch af (approx 21mm).Some older spark plug sockets and box spanners might carry the older imperial markings. Sockets for injectors on diesel or petrol engines are normally sized 'across flats'.(22,27 or 28mm being common) Some injector and sensor sockets have a 'window' in the side to avoid damage to wires etc and some injectors need a crowfoot spanner to remove them, I stock a range of these.Some deeply recessed nuts are best removed with box spanners. Torque wrenches and ratchets are not intended to undo rusted or over tight fastenings.Use a breaker bar or an air driven impact wrench to start them. This is a selection of the sockets I have,stock changes too quickly for a complete list,please e-mail or phone for latest offers on socketry..
