If the above happens it is because the Socket is not deep enough. Nothing inside of the Socket should be touching the Nipples of the Injector.

The Craftsman Deep socket below (1-1/16") is deep all the way to the end and does not touch the Nipples. I have been using it on Injectors and other things since 1975 with no issues at all.

The cheapie deep sockets have a ring of metal at the top with a circular hole that the threaded end of the Injector goes into and the Nipples tend to ride on top of that metal that is arround the hole.
