Low-Profile Socket Set
The Steelman 42275 is a five-piece 3/8-inch drive oil filter socket set built for low-clearance engine bays. Each socket averages 1.5 inches in height and is forged from chrome-vanadium steel with a black phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. The set covers 24, 27, 29, 32 and 36 millimetre sizes and includes a moulded plastic storage case. It is designed for hand-ratchet use on canister-type oil and fuel filter caps across a wide range of vehicle makes.
Ideal for Tight Engine Bays
This set suits DIYers and technicians who service canister filters on brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Ford, BMW, Audi, GM and others listed in the specifications. The compact profile reaches caps that standard-depth sockets cannot. Buyers who need impact-rated tools should look elsewhere, as these sockets are not intended for impact use and the additional strain can damage filter caps. The 3/8-inch drive also limits leverage on extremely tight caps compared to larger-drive alternatives.
3/8-Inch Drive Compatibility
The single specification that decides fitment is the 3/8-inch square drive, which must match the ratchet or breaker bar already in the user's toolkit. If the workshop uses 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch drive tools exclusively, this set will not connect without an adapter, which is not included.

Questions about this item
What sockets and accessories come in the Steelman 42275 set and what must I buy separately?
The set includes five low-profile sockets in 24mm, 27mm, 29mm, 32mm and 36mm sizes plus a moulded black plastic storage case. A 3/8-inch drive ratchet or wrench is required but not supplied.
How do I choose the right socket from the 24mm, 27mm, 29mm, 32mm and 36mm options?
Match the socket to the cap size on your vehicle's canister oil or fuel filter; the set covers common sizes used by manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Ford, BMW, Audi, GM and others listed in the product details.
What does the 1.5-inch socket height mean when I am working in a tight engine bay?
At only 1.5 inches tall, each chrome-vanadium socket fits into confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not clear surrounding components, allowing you to turn the filter cap with a 3/8-inch drive ratchet.
