Oil filter socket idea

For those of you that don't have the ½-inch drive socket set. I just think that this is such a cool option for the price.

36mm

Thank you for posting this. I bought a Craftsman 1/2" 36mm socket but it is a really tight fit. I planned to go looking for a better alternative tomorrow. This looks like the perfect solution.

Thank you. I bought a deeper 36mm socket that I was going to have cut down to make it shallower. You rock!

Good find, and thanks for sharing! I just ordered it :smile: Looks like the $7.12 includes shipping also as I saw no additional charges on the final order... Wow!

Ah, nevermind... looks like $7.95 for shipping...

Did you guys see this $7.99 oil filter socket. Much better than the $30-$40 Euorversion. It was posted in a different thread here on NAM. See if you like this.

Just so you guys will know for anyone who needs to buy one of these. If you have a pepboys in your area they do carry them for I believe around 10 bucks. I just picked one up this past week and will be doing my oil change sometime this week when the rain stops.
