Hazet spark plug socket 'retaining clip' fell out and lost.

[Krician]

Hello, I have a Hazet 4766 spark plug socket which I purchased from amazon Deutschland to America about seven months ago. Yesterday while using it on a truck, the metal retaining clip fell out in the back of the engine bay and I could not see or retrieve it. Amazon only offers a 30 day return and I heard it's difficult to warranty Hazet tools in America. Does anyone know where to get a new retaining clip or if tool trucks sell just the clip as a service part?

You may want to contact "jensputzier" he is a member and has a site on ebay under the same name as he is a Hazet retailer. I have heard nothing but good things about him from people that have dealt with him. Can't hurt! Let us know how it goes

You also might try ssfautoparts I actually met with hazet rep and they carry hazet and can get there whole line at a very good price too

I ran into them by chance at a euro fest day they held for customers in Atlanta

Interesting place "ssfautoparts". I live about 10 minutes from the place and never knew it existed. Thanks

From the Hazet catalog, part number "880 A KF-01" is the retaining clip for spark plug socket 4766.

I would contact Jens Putzier via email to find out if he can provide this, or there is always amazon.de. A quick search with the part number showed it available, although I did not check to see how much shipping would be to the US.

Note the "A" in the part number. There is a version available for other Hazet spark plug sockets that does not include the A in the part number.

Hi all, the 880AKF-01 is US$ 2.50 plus US$ 6.95 for shipping. The original seller should replace it under warranty.
