Default see four-point sockets

You have a few in your socket set. I had to remove a square head pipe plug
so I put the 1/4" Allen driver bit into the ratchet and then put the 1/4"
socket on it backwards so you are driving with the part that normally goes
on the ratchet. It will work for 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" with the adapters in
most socket sets.

who makes them, who retails 'em?



Who on an aviation group uses "FARMER BOLTS" :-))
I've never see a 4-pt socket, but open end wrences work well. Usually
the bolt is of such quality you can plan on twisting it off rather
then getting the nut off.

Good luck,
