Review on πŸ”Œ ARES 70039-3/8-Inch Drive Oxygen Sensor Socket - 7/8-Inch (22mm) Offset with Wire Gate Access by Bruce Marable

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nothing more than a paperweight

Meets all recommendations from fellow mechanics; Sprayed a nut breaker around the sensor on Thursday, let it soak overnight, started the car so it was nice and warm by Friday afternoon, put the socket around the sensor, added an extension and ratchet and tried to remove the sensor. The damn thing pretended to move, but it turned out that the nest had expanded into the cracks. It took about two hours to remove the outlet. I probably should have known better than to buy this, but I only read 2 reviews where this outlet 'split', there were many mentions of it with other brands, so I went with this one. Plan to contact the seller on Monday and ask for a replacement.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some small things
