Requires manual installation on older Toyota engines

The m10x1.0 adapter required a lot of filing and trimming to get the threaded cone to fit the block on my Toyota 20r and was still very difficult to fit. The rest was not used. Even though it's inside now, it doesn't leak anymore.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Has issues

Will not work with 1/8-27 NPS (straight pipe thread).

There wasn't a single faucet that met our needs. Good quality fittings. The price is high but worth it, so you can only buy once and get what you need. Unfortunately we were one of those who were not covered. I keep them in case I can use them elsewhere. It will not fit 1987 Toyota Camry. It has a 3SFE engine used in other Toyota models and other years.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Secret

I bought this kit specifically for the M10x1 - 1/8 NPT adapter to mount a pressure gauge. During installation, the adapter tore at the transition point. I used a deep head 3/8 ratchet and didn't apply much torque before I felt it starting to break (I'm a trained mechanic so I understand torque limits). Luckily I didn't break the end in the engine block. I was hoping that this is a Bosch brand, they will be of good quality but they let me down. I ended up using the adapter that comes with the…

Not for applications that require a sealing washer

I needed an M14x1.5 to 1/8 adapter for the transmission temperature sensor in the transmission oil pan. The adapter has no lip, head or flange depending on your preferred terminology and is useless as the washer does not make enough contact to seal. So this set is rubbish for me.

Pros
  • 5 brass bushings
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Bought for my husband because he was frustrated with how many tool carts asked for an adapter that was borrowed and not returned. He stated that he used 2 adapters and they work fine for their intended purpose. He also listed the price, he can change 1 or 2 if needed and don't worry

Pros
  • . Note: Electric thermometers are M14 x 1.5 to 1/8 in. NPT and M16 x 1.5 only up to 1/8 inch compatible. NPT
Cons
  • Reliability

Will not mate with gauge kits

There was no metric adapter for LS Chevy for Bosch's own temp. Sensor, called Bosch customer service, went to 3 different departments, tried going to the company's horrible website with the part number they gave me, but couldn't find anything ordered from Revain. Since the adapter didn't work, I sent the adapter set back. I bought an adapter from a small company, it works fine. Revain was very nice about the refund.

Pros
  • Includes: M10 x 1.0 to 1/8" NPT - Electrical and mechanical gauges for pressure and boost; M12 x 1.0 to 1/8" NPT - Electrical and mechanical pressure sensors and boost; M12 X 1.75 to 1/8 NPT - Electrical and Mechanical Pressure and Boost Sensors
