Most here have seen most tools. Sometimes you run across a contraption tool and it might interest you, or you see right away it's just junk. Maybe you're not sure, so you take a flyer. Anyway, about 30-35 years ago I ran across something - probably in a hardware store, and bought it. Maybe 5 bucks. It was a nutdriver with nested and spring loaded hex "cylinders." Covered 1/4" to 9/16." It actually worked! Used it for many years. Don't know what happened to, but it's gone now. If the situation fit I'd just grab it instead of fitting a socket. Didn't have and still don't have a nutdriver set. Cleaned the thing a couple times in kerosene, dried it and oiled it. The "cylinders" would get dirty and start sticking after enough use on dirty nuts. But it held up. It was a good buy.
