Review: Great tool! Allows you to get into a tighter spot. - Great tool! Allows you to get into a tighter spot. Used to replace corroded tone ring on driver's side rear of a 2008 Chrysler 300C AWD. It made getting to the hub bolts easier. I put an o-ring around the universal joint part to help hold from flopping and that helped a lot. always love it when a special tool makes a job go better. Especially when it's not priced abusively. Review: Decent Quality - I am happy with the quality of these sockets. They are made well. They are good for the price I paid. I have been a professional technician for 14 years. I know high quality tools, cheap tools, and everything in between. These sockets are made in Taiwan, and while they may not brandish a Mercedes logo, I am quite happy with the craftsmanship. ## Features - Wide range of professional automotive specialy tools - Professional grade - U-joint design allows access in difficult areas - Great for many European makes, E;G; BMW brakes, transmissions, etc ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B012UTSRUI | | Best Sellers Rank | #129,206 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #421 in Socket Wrenches | | Bit Compatibilities | 1/4 inch | | Brand | CTA Tools | | Brand Name | CTA Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 280 Reviews | | Drive Bit Application | automotive | | Drive Bit Shank Style | SQUARE | | Drive System | Square | | Finish Type | Chrome-Plated | | Finish Types | Chrome-Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00053001092253 | | Included Components | E-Series U-Joint Torx Socket - E8 | | Item Length | 42 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | E-Series U-Joint Star Socket - E8 | | Manufacturer | CTA Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9225 | | Material | Chrome Vanadium Steel | | Material Type | Chrome Vanadium Steel | | Model Number | 9225 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 053001092253 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![CTA Tools 9225 E-Series U-Joint Star Socket - E8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Cuy0PeVZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool!
