Thread: where can I buy one of these - limited access socket

I wish to get one off these but don't know the correct name of them. I tried Total tools web site, and Snap on etc, but no results, they must have a special name. I did find an ad on ebay from a UK seller, under limited access socket , but I need one quickly and in 17mm size,
Any ideas.
Thanks Mario

I just found out they are called flare nut sockets, and Snap on have them, but a bit more than what I want to spend over $100 for 1 socket!

They are known as open side sockets or sensor or injector sockets.
Try these guys in Sydney: https://sostools.com.au/t-and-e-tool...ket-80mm-long/
Or you're really stuck just buy a single deep impact socket (thicker wall) & carefully grind it back.

I've answered this in your post in Technical Chatter.
