We have been looking for a long time to find a super strong and well made tool to adjust those tough 17 mm ball adjuster sockets on the early 4 and 6 clyinder gas engines. This is a heavy duty 1/2 drive "crowsfoot" style tool with side wall built in to keep the jaws from spreading during heavy torquing. PLEASE NOTE- some early 230 and 250 engines have 14 mm ball adjusters. Pull your vavle cover and check if you are not sure of the size on your engine BEFORE ordering.
Product Details
Watch the video about as Kent will give you a quick demo on how this socket works on a W111 280SE engine.
