Reply to comment by willman0527 in A little socket saver can make a big difference by admiralnorman

I have not heard that but maybe? I'm probably not going to ever take this one out so I'm sure it's fine.

I have a Pomona socket saver for my output tube. The tube had galled pins and I have Teflon tube sockets with collet-style sockets that grip incredibly tight on pins that aren't perfect. It was a struggle to get the output tube on or off, so it was easier to use a saver which has a slightly a looser fit. In my case, it worked out visually because my input tube was already sitting higher on an octal-noval adapter.
