Worth every penny. Might have been possible to do ...

Worth every penny. Might have been possible to do with a 7/8" wrench, but this made it so much easier. Saved me time, frustration and (literally) skin on my knuckles. Well made, plenty strong. Shame I can't use it more often (but will when my next O2 sensor fails). If I lost it and needed it I would buy another.

Lifesaver!!!

Without this I would have never been able to take out the O2 sensor. I started by trying by trying my O2 socket. Could not get it on - not enough space. Then I tried an O2 wrench. Not enough leverage. Finally, I soaked it with PB Blaster, ran my engine 20 minutes, and using this plus my breaker bar and and sledgehammer was able to bust it lose. If the sensor is in a tight spot this is the only way you will get it off. Once busted loose you will need an O2 wrench or regular 22 mm wrench to remove the sensor.

Gets the job done

I was curious if this would work well or not since I could barely access my O2 sensor behind my engine of my ‘08 Honda Odyssey. I had to use a mirror but once I did I could see what I needed and this tool was exactly what I needed. My sensor was on extremely tight and I wasn’t sure I could get it. I cranked really hard with this tool and finally got it to break loose. No regrets. I’m glad I have this tool.

High quality tool and works great

Purchased this socket to replace the upstream oxygen/AFR sensors on my 2003 Honda Accord V6, which require a 22mm (7/8") socket to remove. This socket was extremely well worth the 8 bucks I paid for it, just for sake of time and frustration of trying to use conventional tools to get the sensors loose. With this socket, it literally took me less than 15 minutes to change out both sensors. In my experience, the socket is very solidly made and does not flex or slip as some other reviewers claimed. Since oxygen sensors are common, this is a good tool to have on hand in your tool box, especially for the price and convenience. It's a real time and frustration saver. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing an oxygen sensor socket if the sensor requires a 22mm or 7/8" socket.

This worked great and didn't slip for me

This worked great and didn't slip for me. It's a must-have for o2 sensor work. Be sure you have a 3/8 driver & extension or two. Don't touch the tip of the new 02 sensor. It was rather difficult to get to on a 2007 Odyssey. The trick was getting the plug to release from the bracket which is done by pushing in a small release at the bottom.

Perfect for removing O2 sensors on my 2007 JK. O|||||O

I could have done the job without it, but it sure made it a lot easier. Gone are the days when I micky mouse a tool up or make due with what I have on hand to work on something. I'm too old to deal with that anymore. As a backyard mechanic you may not need this thing often, but when you do need it it's a life saver. This was the right tool for the job (along with a flex ratchet that I also bought) and was worth every cent. It saved me a lot of time and frustration.

Solid quality steel and good price

Appears to be good quality steel and worked excellent on my 1990 Isuzu pickup exhaust manifold sensor with no trouble removing. I chose this design over the straight socket so there would be no trouble with sensor lead bottoming out inside and the fact that the offset gives additional torque.

Worked perfectly on 2012 RAV4, not much room for tools

The O2 sensor on my 2012 RAV4 is located very close to the engine, with not much room for tools. This item worked perfectly. The only access is to crawl under the car from the front. I recommend jacking up the car at the front/center jack point to get to the sensor. I also removed the passenger side front wheel to get better access to the connector. Good luck and be safe.

LIFE SAVER!!!!

I recently surpassed the 100K mark on my Ford Focus. Check light came on and I plugged up my code reader and it told me the upstream O2 sensor was shot. So I bought both upper and downstream sensors, but before to checked out Amazon had this item as a recommend item. So I decided why not and added it to my cart. LET ME TELL YOU......this socket is a life saver!!!! Without this socket I would have had to remove the shield just to get access. I was able to remove the upper and lower using the socket in less than 30mins! Great addition to the tool box! Save money and do it yourself!

I was shocked.

I have to tell you that I would not have thought it would actually work. The setup with the torque begin off-center threw me for a loop, but once i put it on the O2 Sensor, I was able to remove it. The sensor on the exhaust was difficult to break loose, but I have to tell you...it worked! A+++++
