Triangular socket bit

[Mungo]

Is it possible to get a socket bit that would fit over a triangular nut like the one below, and could be used with torque screwdriver?

Recknagel do a wrench for them.

Thank you. I have the wrench. I’d like to be able to use a torque driver, though

If that’s the recknagel try nuts. An 11mm standard socket should work.

Yep, you can get them on Amazon

But as they are for a 1/2" drive you would also need to get a 1/2" to 1/4" or 1/2" to Hex or even 1/2" to 1/4" to Hex adapter depending on which which driver you have.

This one would do you you only want the 11mm

File a triangle form to a nuts inside thread to fit the screw then use a normal socket on it.

I don’t understand that sentence I’m afraid

Take a large nut and file the threaded hole into a triangular shape, then use a regular socket on it.
I think is what BB was trying to say.

Yes.

As all nuts I can think of are 6 sided then a large enough one will fit a triangle shape well enough.

Coach bolts come in Cup, square, square form.
ie; Cup head, square section on underside of head and square nut.
You can get 8 point sockets to fit square nuts.
Ken.
Think I’ve heard of Octagon nuts too.

You can get triangular socket sets on Amazon and Ebay.
Or a decent quality set from anywhere else.
