large hex bit sockets.

[jim1987]

I was at the local pawn shop today and seen a set of (to me anyways) large hex bit sockets. They were Carlyle 10-19. Looked like they've never been used. Just wondering what application would need a 19mm hex but socket?

Not sure on specific sizes but I use my bigger set for transmission drain plugs.

Thanks. Guess that would be one I wouldn't know as no vehicle in the household has a drain plug in the filter..next year my blazer is getting one though.

Diesel truck and heavy equipment uses them. Not a ton, but enough that it's worth buying over borrowing. Been planning on picking up some of the Duralast sets since they're cheap and lifetime warranty.

These ones were only $30. I could probably get them for $25 if your interested pm me, maybe we could work out a payment, but I don't have PayPal so idk if it'd work.

Thanks for the offer, but I have most of the sizes, and only need a few of the SAE and Metric big sizes, which are pretty cheap to buy for how little I will use them.

Before I retired, I used the sockets on drain, and fill plugs on industrial equipment both S.A.E. and metric. The sets I used had S.A.E up to 1", and the metric up to 22mm.Ken.

Holy smokes. Lol. And thanks for the info.

On a side note napas website says $85 for these new. That's why I like this pawb shop, the price things reasonable.

At work I personally use up to 27mm bit sockets at work, on 36mm bolts and even 19mm hex keys. We are a machine/fitting shop and work mainly on all kinds of large smelting equipment and forestry machinery on occasion, plus any other jobs the come one, but it is mostly large work.

 

[jim1987]

Well from these responces idont fell bad I don't have them. Because id never use them! Lol

17mm works on Audi cv axle factory bolts. And 17mm low profile works on volkswagon and chevy transmission fill and drain plugs

 

[young_buck]

I use them at work (equipment tech) quite often draining diffs on loaders and on hydraulic pumps

Hub bolts on Audis and VW Phaetons.

those are the 3 larger 1/2" dr sizes i use too.

17MM & 19MM 3/4" dr used to get used often at the last dealer i was at

I see a lot of aftermarket differential covers requiring big hexes.

 

[Hammell]

i use large hex bit sockets for cylinders on heavy equipment. 7/8 impact 3/4 drive for instance

Timing cover plugs on quads/dirtbikes is another example. 10,14,17 are common. Some use them for valve cover plugs also. It is pretty ridiculous to use a 1/2" drive 17mm hex to take a plug out that has max 10-15 lbs of torque
