No, the set includes the oil filter sockets and the storage case; you will need to provide your own drive tool.
These are designed for hand tools. Using them with an impact driver may cause damage to the socket or the oil filter housing.
Check the filter manufacturer's specifications for the required diameter and flute count, or measure the filter base directly.
They feature a corrosion-resistant coating, but it is best practice to clean them of oil and moisture after use and store them in a dry place.
Yes, they are suitable for plastic housings, but ensure the socket is seated correctly to avoid cracking the plastic.
Verify the socket size matches the filter flutes exactly and ensure there is no debris inside the socket.
Gently tap the side of the socket with a rubber mallet or use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry it loose.
Check if a wobble extension or a flex-head ratchet can improve the angle of approach.
To use these sockets, attach the appropriate size to your 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Select the size that matches your filter's flute count and diameter to ensure a snug fit. After every use, wipe the sockets clean with a shop towel to remove residual oil and debris. Store them in the provided case in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the corrosion-resistant coating. Avoid using an impact wrench with these sockets, as the high-impact force can damage both the tool and the delicate filter housing.
