Got the ramps out, and drained the oil. Put the socket on my 1/2 HF with the built in cheater and tried to loosen the OF basket. It is an awkward fit and a hard position to work from. I pulled and the socket broke, tearing the cast gazinta off the stamped socket.
The basket socket is from Auto zone, doubt if it is warranteed. Not sure I want another junk tool, it was a poor fit from the start. Any clues to finding a better made tool would be appreciated. What does the dealer give his oil tech? This POS was used only 12 times before it failed. I replaced the widget plug and poured in oil. I'm on the hunt for a better tool and maybe a basket that a socket can get a positive fit on. Rant over, TIA
