Skinny 8mm socket

[Ty Korrigan]

My mini socket set is too fat.

Looking for recommendations for a suitable tool.

  Cheers.

You need a T bar type....like this one - it has a nice step in the socket head to stop the nut disappearing up it...

Whats wrong with the 441 now?

[Ty Korrigan]

It has been on the shelf for 2 years now.

It runs away, you previously thought a pipe from the tank to carb might have come adrift.

I didn't have the inclination to take it apart before but a long Summer of boredom ahead with little chance of traveling to either the U.K or Morocco, I thought I'd finally get on with it.

Changed the fuel solenoid and clutch springs on the 241 today so feeling motivated.

I use one of these Stihl ones, 5910 890 2420 Genuine Stihl 8mm Tee Spanner | Garden Hire Spares  Pretty cheap but seem to last very well.

I've never seen a plug wrench with an 8mm on it! A small tee spanner is a lot less cumbersome, so my vote goes there.

Box spanner.  Bought this a few years ago.  Cheap as chips and decent quality.
