Questions & Answers

The socket set I own is extensive in sae/metric. This socket has a special quality. How is it different?

Although I have a large collection of sockets, I did not have the ability to remove the air conditioning from the Chevy truck If you compare this to my 16MM, you will discover that this cheap one has longer flats and more rounded corners. As this socket was designed to only work a few times, I have placed it in my drawer at the back. It also does not fit a fastener properly.

Selected User Reviews For MASTERCOOL 98234 Socket

This Mastercool High Side Socket is designed for use on walls
4/5

In contrast to many other reviewers, I don't think the Mastercool socket deserved a 5 star rating due to the high price tag and the fact that I didn't find it to be as good as I hoped. There is a description that says "nbsp" A socket designed for high quality is made in China, but the socket itself comes from Germany. As part of my classroom lesson with my teenage son, I marked around the socket with a red ring with a paint marker so he can easily recognize the socket. A socket (red/big) is connected to the high side fitting. Before the paint wears off, he will be able to figure out which socket size went into the fitting on the high side. It would have worked as well if the duct tape was colored. There is a highly polished finish to the chrome plating on the Mastercool in addition to its appearance of built-in solidity. A 3/8" socket is needed for the screw There is a drive and the high side schrader valve fittings are able to fit properly. It doesn't matter how they were made, these sockets should last a lifetime since shrader valve fittings aren't prone to failure A significant amount of tightening is required in order to avoid damage to the oil seal This is ringing.

This is a perfect fit for a standard high-rise building A side valve needs to be removed or replaced
5/5

A new valve is installed within minutes after the old one is removed. You will need to use some channel locks or similar to remove the valve from the socket after you've removed/tightened it down because the metal on the valve is a bit softer than the socket metal, so be prepared to use channel locks or similar. As I was removing the valve piece, I wrapped gaffers tape around the tooth of the channel lock (to protect the socket) and used pliers or an adjustable wrench to remove the valve. Sockets made in this way should last for as long as possible. The 8-way AC fittings and sockets are designed to be used with AC power sources An 8-sided sheet instead of a six-sided sheet If you are interested in DIY projects with a two-sided design, then take a look at some of these It is important to know the reason for the review. Designing this stuff was done with the hope that inexperienced people would not monkey around with these potentially dangerous components under their cars using common tools.

I like this socket very much! It's a pleasure to work with you, Mastercool! I replaced the refrigerant oil in the new compressor with ACDelco pag 150 oil and after draining the 4 oz oil from the compressor, all the systems work perfectly with ice cold air again for my 97 Chevy Dually and 99 Chevy Tahoe!

Among the best 13, it is The most I have spent in years has been 48 (including taxes)
5/5

Several years ago, I purchased an Astro van for $2000. During the first 4 months the system worked fine, then it stopped turning on the compressor. Place 2 cans of R134a in the cart We will repeat this cycle for the next 4 months. Having decided it was time to find the leak, I went to find it. Upon discovering soapy water on the outside of the high side port, we thought the port was cracked, ordered a new port. We pondered and pondered over this socket, but purchased it anyway. When I received the valve and socket, I discovered there was no crack in the existing port (service valve) and the leak (bubbles) was coming from the oil-filled socket A slightly tighter top side port is achieved by slightly tightening the ring on the port. This can be done by 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock with the socket. The leak has been fixed. A bubble does not exist. It took much less time to write this review than it did to write this one. It was a too simple task. It's impossible not to laugh when you see this.

For the repair of an automobile's air conditioning, a socket is needed
5/5

In order to properly remove an automotive AC system's service port, you need this socket. Sure, you can possibly get the old service port loose using pliers, etc. , but these ports are often hard to access with that kind of tool, and this socket makes it easy to reach.

My recommendation would not be to go there in the end
3/5

The con Fit is a bit loose, and it is easy to get it jammed onto the valve base, which makes the valve tricky It would not be an everyday item for me to use. A few pros Using it is cheap, it'll get the job done and (hopefully) you won't need to use it Although it's in the tool box, I will keep it. There is nothing great about it.

In the absence of this tool, I didn't want to even try
5/5

I probably would have been better off using this socket than vice grips or something else to do this job. Since I ordered the item, I have no knowledge of if it works. I'm located along the HIGH side of the building, 134a, Grand AM. A refrigerant leak is found in a 2000 model. The socket was on the port and it was taken If you don't want this to come off of your system under pressure, please make sure you do not have any more refrigerant in your system.

It is an essential part of the Schrader valve installation
5/5

This Schrader valve has an AC rating of 955. We made the removal and installation of the job super simple. Even though the valve was a good price, it was more expensive than I anticipated, but worth the money to save the hassle of having to change the valve. The quality is good.
