Default Stubby T-60 Torx Oil filter adapter Socket

I purchased this off of the MAC tool truck.
For all those that have trouble getting in that tight spot or have used a combination of wrenches and hacked up full size torx bits, here is a new stubby that is relatively cheap and may save you a headache. Just thought I would pass it on.

This is epic, should be added to whatever sticky exists about the Oil Filter adapter.

Have you tried using it yet? Enough room to get in there with that + a breaker bar?

Bless you, my child! That's a great find!

I looked up the part number you provided and found that Tooltopia.com sells a full set!


Thanks!

Your welcome everyone. I have not used it yet, but the quality of the bit looks great and has a good weight to it. No light weight metal that will round off essay.

Definitely glad I found it before having to get creative lol.

I'm seeing some 3/8" drive posted. Doesn't that need 1/2 inch drive?

I noticed that "3/8" to. Beings they're made for an impact gun I would think if there would be a problem it might be with the tool used with it. But when/if I need to replace my O-rings that torx is where I'll start.

I have not used it yet, but I am confident. I have a 3/8 breaker bar as well, so leverage will not be an issue.
I have a whole torx bit set already with long and short. But even my short was to long for that small space. Kind of sucks to have to buy the stubby just for one job, but oh well lol. Just another tool for my collection!
