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).

And squaring it is very important when you're right on the razors
edge, of rounding it. Besides since I've been out of the business I
haven't bleed enough to excite the ecologists, just popped the air.

matco tools offer a bleeder wrench in a couple of different sizes and it's
one of the best tools i have bought since, i cut breaking bleeder screws
off 40% with these tools for some reson the work better than a wrench and
or socket
