Technical specifications

The kit is crafted from quality aluminium alloy for strength and lightness, giving you a robust tool that resists wear over many jobs. It is 74mm in diameter, a size that pairs well with a variety of popular European models, and is designed to lock onto the filter accurately so you can apply steady torque. To use, position the tool near the end of the filter, apply counterclockwise force and rotate with a wrench. A 3/8 inch drive wrench is required to complete the setup, and care should be taken to avoid impact on housings to prevent overtightening. This product represents good value for money, offering durability and long-term use while helping you manage maintenance costs more effectively.

It suits those working on Mercedes-Benz, VW, Ford and Audi models where traditional filter removal can be challenging due to space constraints. The compact design makes it easy to operate in confined engine bays, and the 14 grooves ensure a firm grip for repeated use. If you prioritise a durable tool that delivers consistent performance over time, this GTLM socket set is worth considering for your toolkit.
