Working on my wife's Ford flex had me battling many hex holding fasteners.
And on the passengers side i forgot to tighten the nut that holds the strut to the strut mount, and didn't realize it until after it was knocking up and down 1/2" during the test drive.
I was able to rectify this situation after using a 21mm deep well impact socket being held by a pair of chinesium vice-grips with a 10mm shallow socket on a 1/4" extension that went through the impact's broached hole
it worked so well i wondered if there is an actual tool that does this, as getting 1/6th of a turn on a regular hex holding fastener with a regular wrench is a pain the the 4th point of contact.
