Name that tool.
What is the name of the socket which is used to hold the strut shaft in place while tightinging the nut(so the nut and shaft dont turn as one)? We have a set out at school and im looking into purchasing a set for myself.
where is the best place to buy a set of these sockets?
what are the most common sizes?
what are they called?
they are a socket that fits over the shaft where its shaped like this...

I think I used an adjustable wrench to do my shocks. Two adjustable wrenches actually. One for the shaft, one for the nut. I'd suppose vicegrips would work as well
