Review: Perfect for removing BMW axle nuts! - I fought with the rear axle nuts on my E30 BMW for days before trying this product. No amount of PB Blaster or heat would budge those nuts and the 12pt Craftsman socket I had kept slipping off the nut. The socket was also too short, so I had to use an extension on my breaker bar which also made getting a grip on the nut difficult. I ordered this socket as a last resort and lo and behold it worked perfectly! The 6pt design gets a MUCH better grip on a 6pt nut (major lesson learned), and the body of the socket is long enough to NOT require an extension. With a little leverage on my breaker bar I was able to break the nut loose with relative ease. I have not been this pleased with a $12 tool purchase in a LONG time. Thanks desertcart! Review: Perfect for Z3 VANOS removal - Just wha I needed to get the outlet VANOS off my Z3. This socket had a little more clearance that the ones I bought at autozone, so it was just big enough to slide right over the end of the VANOS.
