Not made so much but modified. I am rebuilding my LM7 starter and the solenoid is held on with TINY torx male headed bolts. I have nothing that small. So I dug into my old Sears Craftsman socket set and pulled out the smallest socket I could find. 4mm 6 point with a 1/4” drive. No dice. The shoulder was too wide to allow me to slide the socket down onto the Torx.
Bench grinder anyone?
I beveled the snot out of that shoulder and it was enough for me to get a grip on those little Torx and back them out. Perfect? No. Work? In a pinch, yes. 😃
