I need at least a 14mm.. I don't know that they come in multiple depths, but I guess it should be about 2 inches.. I think I also need a 9mm....

I checked the Praktiker, the local auto parts store and the BX.. I will check a couple more places on the economy tomorrow.

Thanks Garry

So, a 14 and a 9, 2 inch long... there's a couple places around Fulda that have tools ... I recon they carry them ... I'll check into it if I can get around to it ...

We only have tools in the BX and in the auto parts store.. The selection at both locations sucks major booty!

Hm ... called, he'll check tomorrow morning - 14 shouldn't be a problem, 9 might be a bit harder to get that long/deep ...

Let me guess - the 1/2" is slightly too small ... ? OK, noted ...

Damn Garry, I'm glad you made me check again.. 1/2 inch is PERFECT, but I don't have ANY 12 pt. sockets, so can you check for that.. That is all I need- one 1/2" deep 12 pt. socket.

:wink:

Hm ... too bad I don't bring the 79 to Bitburg this time - probably have at least two or three 1/2" sockets in the toolbox ... some are pretty long, too ... OK, will check on the 1/2" then tomorrow ...

Jack, I have a 1/2 in, 3/8 drive 12 pt. socket if you would like to borrow it. I will try to remember to bring it to work tomorrow. If you want to, we can meet after work. Give me a call at 480-5061. If you see this tonight and there is anything else you need, give me a call at home, 06372-509362.

All kinds of tools, did you ever go to Berger's or what their name is...
across the Hornbach in K-Town, not far from Kullmanns.
