Hey thought i would put up my fix after i snapped the socket on my Hipstick today.

I knelt down to dig a target and put a little too much strain on the folded part of the socket and broke it.

But when i got home i had some scrap polly pipe laying around so i cut it to the right length and waved it over the kitchen stove open flame to soften the pipe and shape it.

The socket i made with the polly pipe wasnt strong enough so i used the original with some Blue glue to add strength and managed to fix my broken Hipstick.
 
Just learnt I could have just bought a replacement.
Oh well we live and learn lol.
