Hey gearheads. So my old Avon Pro is leaking through the valve stem and I need to get to the guts, again. Last time I had to buy a 30$ Craftsman 2" socket and break off the valve cover attachment point. It worked, but that's a 2lb chunk of steel in the repair kit that I would like to avoid. Not to mention field repair would involve wittling away plastic for hours in order to make the socket fit, with a sharp knife next to hypalon ...
So I want a cheap, light 2" socket that I can put in the kit. Shower valve wrenches would be perfect, but they don't make them that big so I'm told. Any ideas? I know some of you have done this over the years. What was your solution? Thanks in advance.
