There you go my Performance Tool Review

[L.Cheapo]

To further illustrate the point, the per capita income in New Jersey is $88k while Indiana is $61k. Whom do you think $9 matters more?

Due to NJ's oppressive tax structure and absurd cost of living...You would live much better in Indiana on 61k vs. 88k in NJ. So I'll go with the $9 mattering more to the NJ resident.

How about using the correct type of anti- seize on that 02 sensor so you don't have to worry about breaking a cheap tool next time you need to change the sensor (it usually comes with the new sensor)? Saves the mental anguish. I find a shot of PB B'laster 10 minutes before removal can go a long way toward an easier removal, too!

what is the correct anti-seize for an exhaust component... copper or aluminum.... in reality... Nothing works after it is expose to the exhaust heating cycles for a while. I find the best is to run the car to temp for a while and give it a try or squirt some WD or PB or mix and retry... but it's a box of chocolate.... you never know what you get....

Choose whatever you want; Denso uses copper, Delphi uses aluminum. Don't have any knowledge of your experience, but I have to disagree that extended cycling negates the purpose or effect. Guess you really don't care. BTW, I've NEVER broken Snap- On tool similar to the one you show. As said earlier, you get what you pay for, and that includes the aggravation!

Chances are high that the person taking it off is not the person who put it on.

I only work on my car.... with an exception of few tasks that needed special tools and machinery, I don't prefer others to touch my car. So I am pretty sure what anti-seize I put on those exhaust nuts / bolts and sensors... I couldn't speak for the general public, but for my car it is the same person. ..... ..... same reason, I can't justify an Snap-on sets, it's not my tools to earn a living. Sure if I got $$$ to burn I'll get a few sets.... on the side.

I'm on your side here. My point is that most people removing those sensors are not necessarily working on their own cars and have no control over how the sensor was installed. Even if it is your own car, it presumably already had the sensor installed when you bought it, right? So at least the first time you removed it, someone else had installed it, and it's not your fault if the anti-seize wasn't done.

What I am saying is that anti-seize on these exhaust hardware and O2 sensors would work for about a few months at most.... after two winters worth... they would stuck just like any other rusted exhaust nuts.... I have taken the exhausts off and re-fab(mess with it) it enough time to know this.... still have the 18 oz bottle of that copper and aluminum anti seize. It's just that socket cracked trying to loosen the Rear O2 sensor... (O2 was replaced by me few years back). But this post is not about anti-seize reviews... ,

The O2 wrench/socket (oops) was good looking well printed, and some sellers even have big label of it as Life Time Warranty.... Just pointing out two things, it is a **** piece, and life time warranty is a scam.... so buyers beware.
