36 mm 6‑point low‑profile socket for quick, secure removal of cartridge‑style oil and fuel filter housings. Designed for fast, effortless oil or filter changes and access in tight engine compartments. Key benefits Makes oil and fuel filter changes faster: 6‑point design and 3/8" drive provide multiple contact points for a positive fit and efficient torque transfer, reducing slipping and rounding. Easier access in tight spaces: low‑profile, flat construction reaches confined areas and under intake hoses where bulky sockets won’t fit. Built to last: chrome‑vanadium steel with a matte finish resists wear for reliable, repeated use. Versatile: sized for 36 mm metric filter housings and compatible with any 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar that accepts low‑profile sockets. Why you need it Eliminates struggling with awkward sockets or wasting time trying to grip cartridge housings by hand. Reduces risk of damaging the housing cap thanks to the secure 6‑point engagement. Compact form helps you work faster in cramped engine bays, making routine maintenance smoother.
