ITEQ Oxygen Sensor Socket Set 5-Pc — 7/8" 22mm Sockets + M18/M12 Thread Chasers, 3/8" & 1/2" Drive

ITEQ 5 Pcs Automotive Oxygen Sensor Socket Wrench Remover tool and Thread Chaser Set is a complete kit for safely removing, installing and repairing oxygen sensors and vacuum switches on most computer-controlled engines.

This compact five-piece set combines three socket wrenches with two thread chasers so you can reach sensors in tight engine bays, avoid damaging sensor wiring, and restore damaged sensor threads. Each tool is sized and shaped to work with common hexagon oxygen sensors and fits standard 3/8" and 1/2" drive tools. The side-cutout socket design and included thread chasers make this kit a practical choice for DIY mechanics and professional technicians who service modern vehicles.

How does this kit reach oxygen sensors in cramped engine compartments?

The three-purpose socket selection includes an extra-deep broach, a low-profile crowfoot, and an offset crowfoot to tackle sensors in recessed, angled, or obstructed locations. The sockets’ side cutouts allow wires to pass easily so the sensor can be rotated without stressing the harness. Compatibility with common ratchets and breaker bars gives you leverage where you need it.

• Extra-deep 3/8" drive broach socket (3-1/8" length) for recessed sensors
• Low-profile 3/8" crowfoot (1-1/4" length) for tight vertical clearances
• Offset 1/2" crowfoot (1-15/16" length) for angled access and extra torque
• Side cutout design protects sensor wiring during removal

What sizes and thread repairs are included, and why do they matter?

The kit uses a 6-point 7/8" (22mm) socket opening that fits standard hexagon oxygen sensors and works with 3/8" and 1/2" drive tools. Two thread chasers (M18 x 1.5mm and M12 x 1.25mm) are provided to clean and restore damaged sensor mounting threads, reducing the chance of cross-threading or leaks when installing replacement sensors.

• 6-point 7/8" (22mm) socket opening fits most oxygen sensor hexes
• M18 x 1.5mm and M12 x 1.25mm thread chasers to repair common sensor threads
• 3/8" drive shanks allow use with standard ratchets and extensions
• Thread chasers prevent forced installs and ensure proper sensor seating

How durable and user-friendly are these tools for repeated garage use?

Manufactured for automotive service, the sockets and chasers are built to withstand the leverage and torque typical in sensor removal and installation. The broach and crowfoot designs reduce slippage, while the compact lengths help you maneuver in confined spaces. These qualities make the set appropriate for regular shop use as well as at-home repairs.

• Sturdy six-point socket profile for secure grip on sensor hexes
• Compact and offset lengths for accessibility and torque delivery
• Side cutout helps prevent wire damage during repeated removals
• Thread chasers restore threads to extend sensor mounting life

Who this is for: The ITEQ 5-piece Oxygen Sensor Socket and Thread Chaser Set is intended for DIY mechanics, mobile technicians, and professional shops that service vehicles with computer-controlled engines. If you frequently replace or inspect heated or non-heated oxygen sensors, or if you've encountered cross-threaded sensor mounts, this kit provides targeted solutions without needing a large specialty tool collection. It’s particularly valuable when working on vehicles where sensor access is obstructed or wiring must be preserved during removal and installation.
