- On newer Volvo 6 cyl engines the 14mm head bolts are recessed down a hole. an impact socket wont quite fit down the opening. So I use a "plain"' 6 point socket. Sadly these go round fairly quickly or

- You might want the grinder on the lathe too... Sockets are pretty damn hard. My old company manufactured stuff, and had a manual machining room. I used to use it on the off hours to make parts for t
