36 mm 6‑point low‑profile socket for quick, damage‑free removal of cartridge‑style oil and fuel filter canisters. Designed for use with a 3/8‑inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Key benefits Faster, easier oil and filter changes: the 6‑point socket grips the canister securely, reducing slippage and speeding removal. Access tight spaces: flat, low‑profile shape reaches confined engine bays and under intake hoses where bulkier tools cannot. Durable and reliable: made from chromium‑vanadium steel with a matte finish to withstand repeated use. How it solves common problems Eliminates the need to pry or cut filters by hand; multiple contact points distribute torque to avoid rounding the canister. Low profile and compact size let you work where standard sockets or strap wrenches won’t fit. Lightweight yet robust construction reduces tool fatigue while maintaining strength for routine maintenance.
