High quality tool - does not look likely to fail and worked perfectly for my application:I have a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter VS30 / 907 4x4 with the 722.9 7 speed transmission and the front drive shaft runs right below the transmission pan front driver side E10 bolt making it very difficult to access. Combine this socket with a 6" or longer 1/4 drive extension and a very light (inch-pound) torque ratchet, this u-joint socket made it very easy to remove and replace that bolt. These are stretch bolts so you don't want to screw around and break one off using too much torque, etc. And if you don't get them all torqued the same, you will probably have a leak.

Perfectly filled my need. The tight bolt location of the oil filter housing on a BMW n52 requires this socket. Worked like a charm. Seems built well too.

Before purchasing this tool I'd tried a few different options, but none would've worked. Without stripping the e10 bolt,the swivel socket made it alot easier to remove, replace and tourq all the bolts.good value,it's very durable, worth the money

Snap On wants like $50 for the same thing. I needed this for the oil filter housing job on my BMW N20. To get the last Torx bolt behind the intake manifold. You don't have to take off the manifold entirely with this tool, you can sneak it in there at an angle. Good quality.

Made it possible to remove and replace some very difficult to reach specialized aluminum bolts on a 2008 BMW 330i. Quality is excellent, I'm certain it will last. Arrived quickly and did exactly what it's supposed to. One thing worth mentioning is that it's shown on Amazon as a dark chrome and arrives as standard chrome, didn't change its function but it's worth a mention. Also it was much cheaper buying this here rather than lordco or kms and it's a good brand.
