1/2" drive long inverted 14 torx?

[Dereklmartin]

Kind of an odd request but does anyone know a company that makes a 1/2" drive long e14 inverted torx socket? I know assenmacher makes a long e12 for doing BMW headbolts. I would like an e14 version for Mercedes head bolts. Anyone know where I can find one?
Thanks
Derek

Nutcase, I need it to be long or a deep socket, similar to what 1steve has linked. I would prefer it to be reputable brand though, I don't mind paying money for this socket because when your dealing with headbolts you don't want to mess around with a cheap socket that rounds off the head.

 

[Mr.Nutcase]

use a locking extension?
are there clearance issues?

 

[Dereklmartin]

There are clearance issues and when torquing a head bolt an extension isn't always the greatest. I haven't tried a locking extension yet I might have to see if that would work.

uhh - beta is a pretty damn reputable brand... not particularly common in the US, but generally, they are high end tools.

ahm

vim makes a deep set that is good quality.

If you would rather have Vim than Beta, you don't want reputable, you want cheap. Beta is a damned good tool.

Well, there's a 1/2" drive E14, 37mm long on this web page:

Hey thanks for the replies guys, I had never heard of beta before so I was unsure of quality, I will have to look into that one and the koken tools one, they seem to be the longest. The wiha is only 37mm which is about the length of a standard 1/2" and the vim set is only 1/4" and 3/8" drive so it is no good. I see that I can get a koken one in 77mm or 140mm. Can anyone recommend a place to buy Koken tools?

You certainly wouldn't be disappointed with the Koken. They're great tools, very nicely made and finished.
