Gw oil nozzle set - hand tool

quality. The ratchet works well as one would expect from a gear wrench. I just wish the plugs were longer. This is my only complaint.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Largely ok, but...

What size fits LOL Wrench

Works too well. Rschunimagu. The magnet works better than expected. Almost a pain when trying to figure out the size because they are all magnetic on the screw. Although I really like it.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • old

Length and depth in power tools and hand tools

The ratchet handle needs to be longer to apply more force to drain plugs that are too tight. The bushings should be deeper as they can round the drain plug.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • The list will go on.

Will not work with countersunk oil pan bolts.

The BMW N54 engine (and I'm sure many others) have countersunk oil pan bolts, the replacement heads are too big to sit on the bolt head, they hit the oil pan. Shit because I really liked the idea behind this tool and only bought it as a home player and not as a pro.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Upgrades

Value for money

I use this set professionally every day. I am ASE certified as a maintenance and lighting repair technician. I do oil changes and 22 site inspections. With this kit you can change the oil quickly and easily. I would recommend this to any pit technician. Or someone who has multiple oil changes every day. This set is durable, easy to use and versatile.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Minor repairability

No more need to fish out the drain plug from the bottom of the oil pan

Changing the oil yourself will make the task much easier. The sockets are well made and fit a standard 3/8 drive, as well as a patented toothed ratchet that allows sockets to be used in some situations. Once the drain plug has been loosened, it can be easily removed by hand thanks to the knurled collar, even when wearing rubber gloves, and a strong magnet prevents the plug from falling into the waste oil slick. The pad might not behave as well and there's still a chance of some oil dripping…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I'll write later

Good idea, not great build

Okay, I work in a pretty dynamic business and have to change the fluid quite often. So I grabbed them to keep my basic tools from getting tangled (sounds silly I know). But the ratchet will lock if you apply enough force to it. I've seen cars come out of stores like Grease Pro and Tuffy where they think the tight ones use 1000 ft lbs for some reason. So I have to put some weight on the drain plugs to loosen them and the ratchet snaps and locks. You have to hit it on the pallet or frame to free…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

High quality tools made in Taiwan

I've had this on my wish list for a long time and I'm glad I finally got my hands on it. The instruments are made in Taiwan and have a high quality appearance. The plastic body is well made and durable. The ratchet has a black plastic insert on the handle but feels solid. I was worried it might be cheaply made, but it definitely isn't. The gears are smooth and the reverse lever is very easy to move with your thumb. It's not a fine tooth, but I like it because fewer teeth are stronger due to the

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • No
