Looking for a hex socket..20mm!

G-Rex · 01-16-2010, 06:24 PM

I'm trying to find a 20mm external hex socket..pic attached of the type of thing I'm needing for reference for anybody who might not know what I'm talking about...

Anyway, I've been up one side of the net and down the other, and I have not been able to find this socket! I found one on a website for a company in Quebec, but they list no prices, and I can't order it online.

Does anybody know where I can find one

Dunno if this will help, but a 22mm hex nut sticking halfway out of a socket might do the trick.

Snap-on?

Why can't you use a regular allen head? Just put a socket extension on the end if you need more torque to loosen the bolt.

Hmm..replace 22 for 20, and that might be feasible. I'll have to think about that. Not my first choice, but in a pinch..

I've checked Snap-On, Mac, Matco, Craftsman, and about 15 other places. No dice that I can find online. :/

A regular allen head might not be deep enough, plus I can't find that either, first of all, and second of all, I've already got the nut off. It's the clutch hub nut on the Ducati, and I want the socket to make sure I get it torqued down to the proper spec, not just *set the impact driver to kill and stop when it quits turning.*

This one is at Amazon.uk. Maybe they would ship to you here, though.

20mm is an odd ball size, but if anybody would know, it would be these guys:

Look at the picture I posted compared to those links.....LOL I have a regular 20mm socket in my tool box. I need the male version of it!

OK, I'm retarded. Ignore me.

I am sure ducati makes a "special tool" for this job and costs over 100 dollars.
