I have seen some that utilize a spring encircling the end of the driver square, and it works moderately well, with sockets made with an internal cutaway at the bottom of the square well. But we haven't seen a pix of his setup w/o the socket. Satire intended: Thats I think to encourage the sales of sockets using that scheme, also convieniently made by the wrench peddlar of course. That could be Johns problem. In that case John, you may be able to machine the socket or better a new one to utilise that retainer method, but take care, too deep a groove and the socket may be stuck on forever. Show us a closeup pix with the socket removed. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
