GOOOOOD MORNING corsasport,

trying to torque up my castle nut'z on my sleeper BUTTTT I don't have a 30mm socket for the job.

SO, does anyone know for sure (as in, not a random guess) where one can buy a deeep 30mm socket? Place I've tried can only order it in at standard depth which isnt very good for me

Any help/numbers appreciated.

Willay.

Snapon will be about £40 for the socket, as all my kit is Halfords I decided against it.
