Exactly what the doctor ordered!

I needed to investigate leaking valve cover gaskets on an N55 engine. I was then outraged at the task of unscrewing the long screws in the middle of the cover. These sockets are the best solution for the job. I will buy an upgrade kit. great investment.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

NOT SUITABLE FOR BMW VALVE COVER BOLT!

Purchased to work with a BMW valve cover but the hex portion of the socket only protrudes about 1" into the end of the socket. He couldn't reach the bolt to get to the hex portion of the bolt. I ended up buying a standard Home Depot 10mm deep socket that actually fit and was only $3 instead of that $26 set. It's not worth it

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Compatibility

These are the only screwdrivers used to remove the rear bumper on many new cars today can. I work as a technician and from time to time I have to remove the rear bumper. Without them, it's *&^%$ to get rid of the nuts. The nut is very deep in the rear bumper stay housing and there is nothing deep enough to remove it unless you have a special flexible socket, an extended wrench. That doesn't mean it always works. These bad boys are no problem at all. Cheap enough to make the job a lot easier.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

It shouldn't have been that hard!

The problem with this socket is that the tunnel is not straight or centered. Low skill! So annoyed! What should have taken 8 hours 1 minute ago took me all day to figure out how to drill this nest. It turns out that chrome valadium is one of the hardest substances on earth. After trying a few drill bits and calling the machine shop, where they told me they might not get to it until tomorrow, I went to a home store and got a 5/16 inch cobalt drill bit and I managed to drill enough , to grab…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive
