sockets for nuts
I've seen advice that having a socket that works off the sides of a nut is better then one that works off the corners.
I can see the thinking behind this but Halfords professional sockets seem to work off the corners. This seems a contradiction
Have you had problems with a good fitting socket that uses the corners rounding off the corners of a quality nut.. or bolt?
I have some sockets to replace, 27, 32 and something else. My 32mm which works off the corners has undone drive shaft nuts which are 350nm torque when fitted. I'm therefore not convinced that ones that work off the corners are bad. I'm also having a bit of difficulty finding suitable sockets that work off the sides and are the right shape to fit in my socket set
