Got the same Snap-On socket about 25 years ago and I remember it cost about $23.00. That was the most I ever paid for any single socket. But it is a work of art and works great.

Fuel injection line sockets also....but I had a hard time finding a 9/16 one. I thought some of the older diesels had 9/16 nuts on the fuel lines... I found a 14mm which is close.

I ended up using my 4" grinder with a cutting wheel to make one out of a cheap 9/16 deep well.

I bought a cheap 9/16 six point deep well socket. Was planning to cut a slot as recommended above. Now I am considering taking the cut all the way to the bottom of the socket, making it sort of a pass through socket with a slot. Then turn it with vise grips rather than a socket wrench. This way the socket will not twist the wire.

Thoughts?
