Review on πŸ”§ The Ultimate Thexton THE485 Petcock Socket Set: Master the Art of Petcock Removal and Installation! by Jeff Rubio

Revainrating 2 out of 5

did not work for me: tools and accessories

I bought this set because of the good reviews. This set is made in the USA and comes in two pieces: the larger is metal and the smaller is plastic. The plastic wrench is needed to loosen the radiator faucets in both my cars and the metal connector is too big for my application. Pros: You can use a 1/4" ratchet wrench by inserting it into the square hole on the back of the metal socket (not visible in the photo). This is potentially very useful in tight spaces. Cons: The square hole in the plastic part is too big. it's totally useless. I've also tried incorporating a plastic part into a metal part, but it's too big. Nested design would be more helpful. All in all, this set didn't work for me. The price is also quite high (over $14) for these two small pieces.

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • some small things
