Shoutout to the guy who told me to use a 3/8 drive for the motor coupling bolts on that old Dover last week

I was stuck between my 1/2 inch and the smaller one, and going with the 3/8 gave me just enough swing in the tight pit to get them all torqued down right without stripping a single head.

That's the right call. Those old Dover motor bolts can be real soft. A 3/8 drive with a six-point socket is the sweet spot for grip without overdoing it.

You sure about that? I've had way better luck with a 1/2 inch on those. They just round off less for me.
