Ok, I have a cousin who is a Snap-On tool rep, how many of you would be interested in buying a 8mm 12point deep well socket in 1/4" drive for your valve cover bolts?
I think if we get enough people I can get us one hell of a deal, everyone PayPal's me the money, I buy the sockets and then FedEx them to everyone.
What do you guys think?

I'm in.

Do they not have a standard socket in 1/4 drive, or is the deep better from some reason?

Snap-On has any tool you want.
Deep well works better for reaching the valve cover bolts.

No Danny, no word on price yet, he is not a heavy FaceBook user.
So far there are at least 6 people who are in, this is all depending on the price of course.
If they are $10 I dont think its worth it, but $6 shipped with a lifetime warranty and made in America, you cant go wrong.

Since our trucks are always referred to in the feminine.......I think deeper is better.

You know, keep em happy, do what they say, tell them they look awesome and you'll still have your manhood when you wake up in the morning.....

The 5/16 actually fits a bit better, but good idea.

Hell, see if you can get a good price on a nice set. That would interest me. I would love to just have a nice new set that fits most of what is in the Discovery.
