• Deeper Slot Depth – We optimized our oxygen sensor sockets for wire clearance by adding more depth to the slot • Prevents Damage to Wires – Increased socket slot and well depth keep the sensor's wires from getting pinched or damaged • Fits Most Oxygen Sensors – The internal bore and wire slot were designed to accommodate the vast majority of oxygen sensor styles encountered today • Radiused Corners Prevent Round-Off – Radiused corners prevent damage to oxygen sensors by applying force to the flat sides, rather than the corners • Clear Markings – Size numbers are deeply laser engraved with a textured finish for easy readability; engraving occurs before chrome plating for added corrosion resistance • Materials and Finish – The oxygen sensor socket is made from 50BV30 chromium-vanadium steel and hardened to 41–49 HRC for strength and durability; the socket is protected against corrosion with chrome plating on the outside and clear coat on the inside
The Tekton 3/8 Inch Drive x 7/8 Inch Deep 6-Point Oxygen Sensor Socket was designed to accommodate the vast majority of oxygen sensor styles encountered today. We optimized the socket for wire clearance by increasing the slot and well depth to keep the sensor's wires from getting pinched or damaged. The socket has 6 points of engagement and provides an exact fit and maximum contact with oxygen sensors. Radiused corners prevent damage to oxygen sensors by applying force to the flat sides of the sensor's hex, rather than the corners. The size numbers are deeply laser engraved with a textured finish to create a contrasted, easy-to-read marking. The engraving takes place before the socket is chrome-plated for added corrosion resistance. The socket is made from 50BV30 chromium-vanadium steel and hardened to 41–49 HRC for strength and durability. The socket is protected against corrosion with chrome plating on the outside and chrome plating supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage on the inside.
