Snap On Socket

[Dave Steltz]

Looking for a Snap On socket, or something thats a replacement...its a long 1/2" 12 point socket, its marked S6187...if I search on it I cant find it, but its a 6" or so long socket, really skinny, meant for getting at the 12 point nuts that are hard to get at on a SBC...its similar to Snap On pn S6260...

What nuts are you trying to reach?
Kenny said you don't have any nuts!

When you say the hard to get at ones do you mean the head bolts that are between the valve springs and you are using the arp bolts/studs with the small head to clear oversize springs? If so I will try and find my socket in the morning and give you the number of the one I am using. You can also get a Craftsman 3/8 drive deep 12 pt and then put a adapter on it to use your 1/2 drive torque wrench. I know thats not the ideal way to do it but I had to do it that way before I got my fancy socket.

I think the socket u are looking for is a 1/2 inch drive about 5 inches long---u might look at a Snap on SIML200 or some thing like that not sure on the part number but Snap on did/does sell them you can get from 1/2inch to about 3/4 inch---used for taking off gas tank straps alot

Yup its what I need, but the siml200 and ones like it are only 6 point and I need a 12 point version...

make one ---machine a 12 point onto a 6 point socket and weld it up

[FED 387]

do not think your gonna find a 12 point impact of any kind---they just do not make it unless it is a special tool might try a cycle shop they use oddball stuff like that but its probably gonna be a metric!!!!! if ya get it from a bike shop---we made one similiar to what you looking for--

[FED 387]

look at Michigan Industrial Tools in Grand Rapids part #14236 itsa 1/2 drive 1/2inch deep well socket 12 point NOT an impact about 5+ inches long--- about $6-7 on Amazon.com----Comp

[Dave Steltz]

The one from Michigan might just do it...for 7 bucks its worth a try...maybe if its not skinny enough I'll weld a deep 3/8 drive to the end of it....

thanks !!!
