The socket doesn't have a groove and it's very heavy. The wrench uses a retaining ring like in this video https://youtu.be/8RmhBd1wcEA but I don't think there's a rubber Oring underneath it. I'll report back once the 12 point arrives. The 6 point is useless for the other reasons I've mentioned. John
