Is this the worlds coolest socket?

if you think that's cool, you should see how they install lug nuts on the assembly line at GM...somewhere I've got physical pictures of a C5 vette on the line being built a buddy took. it's a 5 headed impact wrench and puts them all on at the same time...bet that isn't a cheap tool!!

If it saves 1 minute per car, that's hundreds of hours of labor every year saved.

$6000 for an impact gun and socket, and it gets thrown around like that! Nice score!

I was impressed the first time I saw that.

I would guess it's the usual suspect network. Its a knife collecting forum. That is notorious for being hard to join.

Yes, it's the Usual Suspect Network.

I don't know why I clicked on this thread. Normally I skip over ~95% of threads.
Having seen that awesome socket and gun, I am glad I clicked.
That is a really sweet score. Gotta love super high quality, bomb proof, super specialized tools. There's just something about them.
Congrats

Thanks! Some of the guys around here are really hard to please. If a $1500 titanium socket doesn't do then I don't know what will!

I added a quick little video showing a little more detail.

so when do you get the impact gun?

Better question is... when do you get the Indy car?

I've seen older models go as low as $25,000. If I win the lottery I just may have to pick one up.

I like me some titanium (including my wedding ring).

There are moments when I wish I had gone for the titanium wedding band.
I have a titanium Tissot watch anniversary gift is cool.

3.5 LH threads on the last-year nut, 7 RH threads on the new?

Or do they use LH only on the left of the car?

He explains the 3.5 / 7 thing.
