This is a very nice set of Automotive Sensor Sockets, they will fit a lot of the common sensors that you will encounter on cars. The steel quality and thickness is quite good, they do a good job without spreading much on the split or notched sockets, I still think the metal could be of a little better quality, but they work well with all but the most stubborn sensors. The nut end of the socket uses the “flank drive” style so there is less chance of rounding off the sensor. Most of the sockets have flats so that you can use an open end wrench as well as a 1/2″ or 3/8″ ratchet or breaker bar. Some of the sockets use 1/2″ square drive and some use 3/8″ square drive. One of the “angle” sockets has a multi position drive so you can index your breaker bar for better access. All in all a very nice set of sockets that have been well thought out and executed.

I received this socket set recently, but, have not had a chance to use them yet. There is a large variety and they come in both 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive size. It appears that this set almost every sensor style for most conditions. The crows foot style socket would fit the sensor on my exhaust very well and will come in handy soon when I need to change my resonator pipe. They are made of Chrome moly so they will work just fine in an impact wrench. They feel like they have decent weight and I’m sure that they will hold up.

Sensor and Sending Socket Set (8-Piece) Nice set of sockets to remove all those specific sensors that require a special tools. Since I’m always under the hood, it is a huge help to have that specific socket readily available to me when I gotta take a special type of sensor out. Honestly this 8 piece set is pretty cool, it’s made of steel and comes in it’s own case. It’s a great addition to any mechanics or DYI car repair to have.

I used only one socket in this set and it is very durable and fit very well.

Pretty good even if they are a little rough around the edges. The slotted edges could use a little more work because they’re sharp enough to damage a wire or skin, but a quick touch up with a file or sandpaper will take care of it.The sockets that I tried fit well. The 1 1/6 oil sender is shorter than what I’m used to, so keep in mind that it only allows for 2 5/8 of clearance. The sockets are a mix of CR V and CR Mo. Some people prefer one or the other. Personally, I’ve never been able to tell a real difference between the two alloys.The sockets aren’t the best quality, but they are better than a lot of the house brands you’ll find and the price of the set is hard to beat. I’m certainly not a GearWrench fanboy, but their sockets have always worked well for me.

Excellent kit to add to the toolbox, especially these days, when more of us are holding onto our vehicles longer. Sensors seem to be the first thing to go on newer vehicles too. If you don’t have these sockets, that’s made especially for sensors, oil pressure sending units or vacuum switches, some are impossible to remove. These eight sockets fit a wide range of vehicles. The sockets are neatly stored and displayed in a hard plastic case, that keeps them clean are organized. Each position is marked, as is each socket, so it’s easy to find the one you need. A very handy reference chart is inside the top cover. Replacing one sensor will pay for the whole kit. These are very well made and come with a lifetime warranty.

This kit gives you a nice selection of sensor sockets that you will need. They are made from Cr-V, so they should hold up decent to any impact wrenches. Cr-Mo would have been nicer, but these should hopefully last a long time. Noticed that once of the crow foot type sockets had an 8-point connection so that should help you get a good fit in those tight spots.

Kit has come in very handy while replacing sensors on my 2006 Pontiac. They fit perfectly as expected and held tight, even after applying a gratuitous amount of force while removing two oxygen sensors. Be aware that some of the sockets have rounded corners for specific sensors, such as the oil pressure sensor on GM LS series engines. The sockets seem well made and the finish has held up during my limited use. Overall I’m pretty happy with the socket set.

The GearWrench Brand, Sensor and Sending Socket Set (8-Piece) is an outstanding value for the home mechanic as well as professionals. Costing what one or two sensor sockets might cost; this set comes with eight specialized sockets. No body wants to disassemble engine components to replace a faulty sensor. Having to do so is just time consuming and sometimes costly. And getting an old sensor out might not be a big deal, but installing the new replacement is critical. Sensors, like heated oxygen sensors, have wires attached due to operating at very low currents. When installing sensors with integral wiring, a socket must be used to engage the sensor flats and not pinch or damage the attached wires. The photo below shows how one of the sensor sockets fits a heated oxygen sensor without damaging the wires during removal or installation. This GearWrench Brand set is going to cover most sensors and engine sending units.

This socket set is pretty comprehensive for most switch and sensor needs on a variety of vehicles covering several decades. The sockets are sturdy, well constructed and well designed. The edges are finished so as to not damage the sensors or switches when used properly and with care. They are in a quality, medium duty, double latched plastic case. They also come with a lifetime warranty! Great quality tools at a fair price. I highly recommend them.
