went to replace latch plates on arms of rotobaler. It is held in by a machine screw with a big straight head. I can't find a screw driver big enough. I think my grandfather may have had a socket that fit it ? Took the screw to napa today and they had no clue. Anybody got an idea?

I made one for a different application from bar stock. Not as handy as a socket but plenty cheap

Take a piece of a big hex key and sharpen it to fit the screw, at you would do with a worn out screwdriver (hollow grind is best). then cut the length you need, and insert the hex screwdriver into a hex socket that it fits into...

I have had good luck with an impact tool. A great opportunity to use a hammer.

We have always used a hammer and punch to remove/tighten the screw. A nick with a small cold chisel on the screw and the body together will "lock" the screw. They have to be kept tight and can be a real pain if they aren't regards, Ken McGregor
