    Orange71S, no problem. They're inexpensive so I'm sure they get torn up after a few uses.

    My Dad did a lot of business with Brett at PB Tweeks back then.
    Could this type of rubber-lined socket have come from them? If so......man......they're gone.....
    Thanks Much!

    I had one...but it was a hard PVC insert in the tool, not rubber. As I recall it came from PB Tweeks. The problem was that the part didn't stand up to harsh treatment, e.g. 90 ft lb . Most likely they were abused by those with air impact tools. After too many wheel mountings they would crack.

    Too bad the largest Snap on insert is for a 17 mm atf nut or bolt .
