Anyone know the solution, my E16 Torx socket is a 3/8" drive, I cannot find (6 parts stores, two tool houses, and a friend's shop)1/2" drive E16 socket. I have now broken 6 1/2"-3/8" adapters 2 of which were impact and have successfully broken 3 bolts loose. Electric impact wrench doesn't move them so what?????????
Oh and side story, it was late so I went to the Zone and picked up two adapters, told the clerk that I was attempting to break head bolts and that these little adapters said "unlimited warranty" and that I would be back. He said that they were not for breaking heal bolts, so OK. About 1 1/2 hours later I showed back up with the two broken adapters wanting more, he said I told you and I showed him the card, "Unlimited Warranty", return to any Auto Zone for a replacement. He begrudgingly gave me two more.
