luudee Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi Guys, I am looking for a 36mm Socket/wrench, which is kind of deep inside, deeper than the standard sockets. I think one of those like the ones for spark plugs would work best. The thing is that I need 36mm, appears as nobody has them ?! Attached is a picture. It's for removing a grohe shower controller thermostat .... Any pointers appreciated !!! Many Thanks, rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r136dg Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 A deep dish socket that size might be a tuff find; however, you can do as I did years ago in a similar situation. If you can find a standard 36mm socket, cut the end off that the ratchet fits into and weld a piece of pipe (length depending how deep you need the socket) in between as in the photo. If you don't have a chop saw & welder, there's plenty of shops around that can do it for you in a heartbeat;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Go to a farm equipment supply/repair shop, probably not in downtown Pattaya but there should be one in the area. They're a dime a dozen around here. Or take a look at Lazada and input 36mm socket wrench. They have a lot and might have one that fits you needs there.

JohnMc45 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Another option to diy a socket good for medium duty is to make one from some steel tube. If you can find something else like a nut, bolt or fitting that is the same size and a pice of tube somewhere in between the size flat to flat and point to point. You can rough out something by hammering the tube over the hex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 You need a box spanner not a socket wrench, different tool and probably about 1/5 the price. Just DAGS it for pictures to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
