Using sockets with a shop press is not recommended because when you look at the specific details in the drawings of the socket and specifically the material heat treatment process and compare that to the press plates and bearing adapter sets we sell, you'll notice we'll sell a lot less of those...

Then slap a 3/8" impact in there, or a 1/2" impact with a 1/2 -> 3/8" adapter if you have the space and dont have a 3/8" impact

The strain on your drive tool will be equal to the strain on this square socket end. So unless you need to impact on something, a 3/8" drive tool like a ratchet is the correct tool

This is some Garage Journal type question if I've ever seen one

We ARE currently working on torque adapters, however even the prototypes are not finished and that's before field testing. So would be quite a ways out if they do get the green light

We make one for a tool truck brand I can probably ship you for free, shoot me an address

It's not about mass, it's about rigidity. Adding thickness is simply a cheap way to do that, so that's why most just use a heavier socket. Diameter does that even better, which is why ours is hollow. A solid piece the same size as our drum socket performs worse, so that confirms its not just...

It is the same size and space as a 78318 layout but locking flex head in design so you can keep it within our preferred degree range for torque wrench use, though you can go past that should you chose for whatever reason as well

The Nano torque wrench will be like a Nano ratchet wrench, but a micrometer style torque wrench in a wide torque range. Same head and neck size, takes the same sockets and just about the same access.

We have prototyped something similar for field testing before. You guys would prefer fixed box ends with the correct retaining rings over ratcheting, correct? Since ratcheting not sure that ads any benefit Edit: And keeping in mind we will have a torque wrench that itself uses these sockets for...

That's still a bit out, nothing precise on date as of yet but its coming

As far as I know he doesnt have a 658HD after giving the one to his brother, just a 658

One of our field sample prototypes was sent to Eric at South Main Auto to abuse, he said it seemed to work much better but gave it to his brother's heavy duty diesel shop to get more regular use - by all reports they love it and some of the footage out there of this tool is theirs.

Same story as with the 658. It will do some things and not all things, but with 1.5X more power now. People will see a tool like this and immediately think "rusted hubs time!" so they buy it and maybe it does that for them and they post a video, and the next person who buys it to get the same...

Shoot me a PM with a name/address and i'll see what I can find

Not to pile on, but our TS29 TurboStep drill bits also resolve this issue as well :D

Your 11mm would likely work okay. Or you could just use our RN516 5/16" riv nuts that are sized for a 11mm or 7/16" drill bit

Currently looks like end of April/beginning of May

We have a 12-point Nano Socket set coming out, 6-24mm no skips
