Review on TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 7/8 Inch Offset Oxygen Sensor Socket - 6-Point, Model 47749 by Profit Gilley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Seems to be good quality but not for me.

Appears to be good quality but did not suit my application on my BMW E46 1999 323I. I've used the regular long socket on pre-cat O2 sensors, but I could use these as well if I wanted to. I bought this for O2 post cat sensors but the space and angle made it unsuitable for that. I had to order from BAVAUTO. They have a lower profile and points (teeth) inside the base run the full length, allowing it to be used at different angles and upside down. This one from Tekton has dots on the bottom which makes it one way only so it doesn't work for me. In the picture of BAVAUTO, it is about the same size and twice as expensive as BAVAUTO. A tecton. Tekton will probably work in most applications but not for me.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not sure
