I picked this socket, or adapter up, and don't know exactly which one it is? It has a Snap-on logo, with an "O" just to the right of it. Then below this, is a part number of -734-1&1/16", which is probably missing the first number. One end is 1" square, which I pesume is the drive size, and the other is 1&1/16" square, which I have questions as to what it fits. I cannot find anything on it on AA or google. Is it a socket, or an adapter? What is the vintage? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne

Have you tried the Collecting Snap-On Site?

No, I did not remember that site, Thanks. I know it is not an adapter now, as snap-on did not have a 1-1/16" drive! Lol. After a long search, I believe it is a "Budd's wheel impact socket", but will search this new lead, that looks to be full of Great Information!.

Wayne, there were two types of wheels on big trucks
budd wheel had the stud holes like a car wheel the iner wheel was held on by a stud that had a square end the outer wheel was held on by a lug that screwed onto the inside wheel stud they even made a wrench that would hold onto the inner stud while removing the outer.
the second wheel type was called a dayton wheel they still use this type  bob w.

Thanks Bob. This is information that I was not aware of before I started digging into it, and is very interesting. Do you think this socket may be a "Budd's stud impact socket"? I have an email into the Snap-on site that eddie hudson suggested, so maybe they will recognize the model, or part number on it.

Hey folks, when contacting Snap-On or anyone else for that matter, do you mention Tool Talk? Or maybe even link them back to here?
