fwiw, most sockets now incorporate the ogv architecture.  in fact, I don't 
think I've seen a straight-sided flat for a while.  even craftsman is doing it. 
 now tight they fit I couldn't say, but my macs and snap-ons do well.

I'm a long-time facom disciple, but it's the screwdrivers that are the 
must-haves.  for sockets I like snap-on.  wrenches, mac knuckle-savers, etc., 
etc.  especially with the euro where it is now.  I can only imagine what 
they're asking for facom stuff nowadays.  facom ratchet handles, though.  
almost too nice to get grimy.  get the s-k handle for the rough work.

I was going to respond to his question with: what does volvo recommend you use?
