    I didn't measure but the 1/2 socket is a fair bit little loose in the sump socket. Results speak for themselves............... extension is stuffed.

    Wow that must have been a fair dodgy 1/2 " drive!!!! That's nuts!

    1/2" ratchet straight in there and jobs right! Or 1/2" breaker should sort it easy???
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    No Way!!! Really!!! Take it into Blackwoods or all tools and claim a warranty on it!!! Don't tell them what you were doing with it but it is no different having a socket half on it!!! It should not have done that and said chrome should replace it!

    I don't think life time means forever, it has a lifetime life of X years......can't remember what the X years are. Manufacturers will put a life to a tool, say a socket has a lifetime of 10 years etc.
