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,

I don't know about more modern cars, but on my old Studebakers there's
quite a few pipe plugs that have square heads.

In article .com,
says...

My craftsman tool set came with a few square sockets. I haven't checked, but I
would assume that they also sell them individualy.

They sell 8 point, not 4 point sockets, perhaps that is why you cant
find them.

A couple sets came with my Craftsman 900 pc set. I'd check your local
Sears


Phredd sed: "perhaps that is why you cant find them"

Just like I said "A couple sets came with my Craftsman 900 pc set". Alex
seems to have the same set. Is there a problem?

The electric company uses them here to secure the lids on in-ground
boxes. Regular 1/2" bolt with pentagon head.

If you check the headers, you will see that this is cross-posted
to rec.crafts.metalworking and rec.autos.tech as well as your newsgroup.

Enjoy,

This has been going on for so long that I can't resist a "tool gloat".
Two years ago I picked up at a fles market 3 new old stock 9 piece 1/2"
drive 8 popint socket sets for $25. Don't bother they are all gone
except for the one I kept.

older Dodge Caravan (grand?) , but the round body style Late 90's I think

direction the cam did)
Didn't actually have to remove it; and according to another tech it's a
Chrysler special tool. I wouldn't buy a set yet!

Oh, the BF Vise grip tool, or the BFH and cold chisel? Sounds like what I
would end up using! g

Of course, then there is the fire ax or the sawz-all!

BF oxy acetylene, LF dremel

What're BF, BFH and LF?
