is it snap-on #S 5902 you are referring to Mark? http://shufti.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/img_4035.jpg If so, I have one. It is good, but to be honest I use a cut off bit from 17 mm allen key more often. Can pop it onto a 17mm socket, or a 17 mm gear wrench. http://shufti.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4056.jpg http://shufti.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4057.jpg alistair
