Determing this Socket Type? *PIC*

[W_E_S]

Hello,

First time posting but I have using GJ for a little while to find info. I enjoy this site very much.

I work for a large auto manufacturer and we use this type of socket to break down engines that do not pass inspection. This is a sample of one. I have tried to find them via internet with no luck. Can anyone help me find out what to search to find some. Remember, I am not looking for a brand name as the socket does not have one on it. I am looking for what style they are called so I can look them up. We (company) purchase these and I do not think they are custom made. It is a standard 3/8 drive and I believe this one is a 14mm but notice the long "stem" so to speak? Also, this is an impact socket.

Look up "torque stick".

That's a head bolt socket.

I was thinking torque stick also, If it goes on an impact I assume it is six point?

Why would you use a torque stick to disassemble a failed engine?

I think it's more likely a driveline socket or as someone mentioned, a head bolt socket. They are bacisically a socket combined with a 3-6 inch extension into one piece. They can be 6 or 12 point as many head bolts are 12 point.

I almost spit my drink out at Torque Stick.. I can see how it looks like one.

It's not a head bolt (at least for our engines). We have these in 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 15mm. Most head bolts are Torx anyways.

Any other ideas? They are great for getting in hard to reach areas.

I've found similar sockets by searching for extra long impact socket or extra deep impact socket but most of them were 3/4 or 1" drive. Snap-on also makes some similar that are drive line sockets.

Ask your manufacturing engineer that speced them. Or look up the part number on the socket. Apex is a big maker of "special" or more so industrial sockets.
