Only tool that works on those is your mouth
I dont know but i would hate to be the one that has to dispose of the drain tray.
Though this is for watches..
Have this set. Good quality. Used on diff and trans plugs.
It doesn't look like this kit includes Torx bits for cars such as the Holden Astra unfortunately. Anyone with an Astra, consider replacing the sump Torx bolt to a standard one, I replaced mine with KSP1002 from Repco.
Unfortunately I own one of those lemons and had to take it to a mechanic to have the sump plug chiselled out. Bought a new one from eBay that's still good, so hopefully won't need to change that until I buy a decent car.
tempting, needed large hex for axle plug on BMW, that cost me $15 …..this kit should cover most contigencies …
Is the number of people who do basic service on a multitude of cars really this high? I would expect that by the second car the vehicles would have long outlived this toolkit
As an example, I needed two uncommon sockets to work on a Subaru Forester (13mm square and T-70 Torx)
The options were basically:
- $12-15 AUD each from China in who knows how long
- $20 each socket delivered from eBay (AU stock)
- $25 for a kit in a moulded caseI wanted the tools sooner rather than later, so I spent $50 on two sets instead of $40 on two sockets, and have the tools I needed and many extras that may come in handy
When I had a car, it wasn't that I did basic service on MY multitude of cars, but once friends hear you can do basic service, you're doing their's as well.
When I ordered my car I made it part of the deal that they would remove all the sump plugs first so I'd never need one of these sets.
Can’t we just get to know the SCA Managers, wait for the item to go on clearance, broden the stock, then sell on eBay for profit? I heard you can make like a $1 mil or $75,000 doing this.
Isn't it more like: Buy $1M worth of merchandise for 90%off/ paying $100K and then selling off on eBay for $175K, making $75K profit?
Thanks OP. Now to find videos on changing transmission oil.
I had an old Peugeot and the sump bolt removal socket was $91 in 2002! This is a bargain in comparison
If you have an allen key socket set, quite often one of the larger sizes, coupled with a large-ish flat bladed screwdriver to take up the slack, will succeed in breaking most square sockets loose.
4mm hose down the dip stick tube. Suck the hell out of it. That's what a lot of dealers do.
Does this work on butt plugs? Asking for a friend…
