That's why they make 6-point box end wrenches. Trying to do a bleed with a socket is a royal PITA, altho I do use one to initally "break" the really stuck ones since it's easier to hold square on the bleeder screw (and usually gets me a longer handle). -- Will Honea |

And squaring it is very important when you're right on the razors
