I used to build surface mining equipment in the early 90’s, 65 yd buckets, blast hole drills. We had 1” drive 3-1/2” and 4” sockets, Snap on. The big slugger drill bits were way more expensive. As a former armored vehicle mechanic in the MARINES, a can say there were no sockets that large, yet...

Interesting perspectives, thanks for the replies. I am most concerned with the finish date, I just dont want to have the project dragging along.
