 Works as advertised July 29, 2010

Good tool. I was able to take out the primary O2 sensor but had to bend the wires a little too much since the socket is a little shorter than the full lenght of the sensor and some wire slack. I was not comfortable bending the wires on a new O2 sensor but was still able to install it and it works.
I had to put a lot of force into taking the old sensor out and was afraid the socket would break/chip but it held.

My 1997 Honda Civic has 2 oxygen sensors. I changed the first one without a oxygen sensor socket. I had to remove the catalytic converter heat shield to get a wrench around the sensor. What a pain. It took me about an hour to change that one sensor.
I was so frustrated with that experience that I set out on a mission to buy an O2 sensor socket. I purchased the OEM 27110 socket set from Amazon.com for $22. This was a great deal. All the local automotive stores were asking $20 for just one socket. This has 3 with a case.
Sure enough, two months after I changed the first sensor, the second one goes out. What a life saver this set was! The set has 3 sockets for 7/8" sensors: two that are offset like a crowfoots wrench (3/8" and 1/2" drive) and one deep socket (3/8" drive) that has it's side cut out for the O2 sensor wire. This should cover most applications.
I used the 3/8" socket that is offset to remove O2 sensor 1 on the car. It worked fantastic. The socket reached right through the hole of the catalytic converter heat shield and grabbed onto the sensor. I swapped out the sensor in less than 10 minutes.
Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Arrived fast. I wish I had known it was only 3/8" drive, It would be better to have 1/2" drive (some O2 sensors are pretty stubborn to take out!). I haven't had a chance to try and see how they hold up yet. Looks like a decent product, with different choices for certain applications, for the price.
Works. May 9, 2010

Good tool. Have used it twice with one of my O2 sensors being put in by the dealer cross-threaded so that was a very hard one to deal with. The tool worked.
Good value, worth the money March 21, 2010

Considering that a dealer would have charged me $150 per sensor (x 4), and probably $300 in labor, I decided to change all four myself on my 2001 Maxima. I purchased all four 02 sensors from Amazon for about $220 (Walkers), and spent maybe three hours today replacing three of them (ran out of time for #4). By far the easiest part of the procedure was using these sockets to loosen the sensors. The Max is pretty tight under the hood and underneath, but the crow's foot socket made it pretty easy. The hardest part was properly securing the wires using the provided plastic ties. I did the best I could, but a couple of the holes where the wire ties were supposed to mount were near impossible to reach without disassembling lots of stuff (or using a lift).
So, if you want to save a lot of money by doing it yourself, this is a small but worthwhile investment which easily pays for itself.
