    Helping a buddy find the E socket size for the clamshell ADD tube. IIRC, it's E14. Can someone confirm?

    TIA

    Pretty sure you’re correct. The E14 is the only one in my set with any wear at least lol. You can get a whole set of them at harbor freight for cheap.

    Thanks. I'm not home to check my stash, lol. Going based on assumption.

    Thanks again!
