Extra long 6mm hex in a hurry

Anyone know where I can get an extra long 6mm hex socket (for use with torque wrench) in the London area, or else somewhere online that does same day dispatch ? Most places I've found online do 3/4 day delivery but I really need it this weekend to work on my BB.

You have a Halfords anywhere nearby you could drop in and pick one up?
(are you sure you need a hex socket and not a hex bit?)0 -
How long is extra long and why do you need that for a BB? Is this a Campag Ultra-Torque type thing with a bolt through the length of the axle? By hex, are you meaning allen key type, rather than hex for a nut?
If so and you can't get one in a hurry, try cutting down a 6mm allen key (might need a grinder?) and using a 6mm socket on the end of it.0 -
keef66 - you're right, I meant a bit rather than socket. Something like this: http://toolstoday.co.uk/product/50234/s ... a-long-6mm
Me-109 - I need it to remove my Spesh S-Works crankset. Good suggestion about cutting down a 6mm key, I've got a Dremel so grinding isn't a problem.0 -
Have you tried RS components? They have places in Watford, Bow, Gatwick and Heathrow areas.
Something like this... http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/screwdriv ... 4E4F4E45260 -
Machine Mart are everywhere and stock everything dirt cheap. Good quality stuff as well for home tinkering.0

I use a long T-handled 6mm allen wrench to remove my Sworks crankset. It's usually pretty damn tight.
Make sure it's not a post 2012 model though, as they went to Torx.0 -
These are without a doubt the finest bits that I have ever used!
