Questions & Answers

How does this work with US fire hydrants? In my role as a fire fighter, I am looking for a socket that will enable us to open fire hydrants more quickly. ?

A real fireman knows that you do not want to open the hydrants any faster, since you'll stop the flow, a false fireman will think so

In the field, what are the most common sizes of penta sockets you see on oil transformers and meter enclosures, 13/16" or 51/64" as I also see them ?

Because of the small difference between sizes, either large or small socket will fit the penta bolt in a pad of your choice- The oil filled transformer, the pedestal, switch cubicle and the primary metering enclosure should be mounted. Depending on the manufacturer, the measurements may be called 13/16", 51/64 or 51/32". A BugWrench Socket like the one shown here is designed for, and used by electric utility companies for pad-mounting electrical equipment Equipment mounted on a vehicle.

The nut on the spare tire carrier fits the nut on the Toyota 2019 Toyota model?

It's not clear to me. The most likely use of penta sockets in utility services is unlikely. The Internet Explorer. This is found on fire hydrants, man hole covers, transformer doors, etc.

Do I need to measure the diameter of the pentabolt head on my water meter before I purchase this? A 7/8" bold head is close to 7/8" when measured from the flat to the point. ?

I know from being an electrician that it fits the PG&E outlets The box at E's ground is correctly numbered, but the box at the water meter is not.

Tool for removing a spare tire from a Toyota vehicle
5/5

I installed it on a 3/8 bit speed crank and it worked great. It is just the right size for the crank head that lowers the spare tire on my Toyota Highlander. Speed cranks don't produce much torque, which is what you want in order to prevent the system from faulty. As well as a good price.

Everything seems to work fine, I assume? What can I say about a socket? One of the biggest problems is making sure it's the right size because it's quite challenging to find a pentagonal bolt with the proper diameter and match it to specs
5/5

I shall use it on my water meter vaults that I will need to install it in. I like how you did this.

I like the quality of these sockets
5/5

This was needed to remove a bolt from a cover of a pipe in which was an emergency shut off for a water line. The fit was perfect, the finish was excellent and it looked well made.

My problem was not solved, but the fit is perfect
5/5

There is a gap in the door of the transformer vault outside my window. PPG & Co. Please fix this instead of ignoring E's requests. There is this odd 5-headed thing on it The fasteners hold it closed on the sides. Turning the bolt heads won't lock down the door through this socket, but it does fit the bolt heads perfectly. Neither the socket nor the cable are to blame.

This is about right in terms of price. There is a similar issue that might affect the viewing audience. Although 13/16" is a standard size, other sizes are available as well. As it turned out, I had a smaller bolt head. The following information might be of interest to you. You can find some 0 in this list. I used shim material of 032" height to line the inside of this socket and it's about as perfect a fit as one can.

5/5

The product is hard to find Find socket that's perfect for removing fire boxes or hand holes. It's a lot more convenient than pliers.
