Bit of a long shot...

Has anyone got a super-deep 10mm socket?

ie like a spark plug puller but half the size.

It's the only way to remedy a plumbing fiasco at Kowalski Towers without major bathroom dismantling.

Cheers all.

what about a 10mm socket on an extension ? I have one of those - where are you? SMS me (check the phone numbers thread)

Cheers fred, but the issue is that the 10mm nut is two inches up a thread, so its the socket itself that needs to be that deep.

heh, nut on the bottom of basin mixer tap?

I have these tools, but they are at work and I wont be there until monday

Got it in one, Sir!

If you could see me right on Monday I'd be very grateful.

I actually have a 10mm long socket here, I just looked. but it needs the 1/4" drive ratchet and extension

are you sure it's not 11mm?

they usually are. often it's better to take the threaded bar out, cut it down with a hacksaw and use a spanner to tighten.

whereaboots are you?

It's defo 10mm, just remeasured it.

I have 1/4" drive ratchet and extension.

I'm in Archway, N19.

You're the opposite side of Town, IIRC?

I am as far as it gets, in bloody tootin innit.

probably easier for you to pick one up in a hardware shop for a couple of quid, I don't think it'll be expensive. unless you are coming to HH on sunday?

Tooting, Surrey. Spent the first ten happy years of my life there.

I'll try and track one down. Thought it might be a bit of a specialist thing.

Cheers.

or you could cut the excess thread off. Possibly to save weight and shave a few seconds off your lap-time?

I refer you to my OP.

Gotta take it all to bits to do that.

Not high on this weekend's to-do list...
