Lisle 13250 Oil Pressure Switch Socket

Glad I tried this socket because it works well for my needs. The stopper helps prevent pushing the plug in too far, which is handy when working with delicate wires. I did notice that the stopper is only on one side, so the socket can tilt if you're not careful, especially when removing or installing sensors. I had a small scare when I took out an old sensor because of this. Being gentle and cautious during installation is definitely the way to go. It’s a good tool to have in the kit.

Perfect fit for gm oil pressure sensor. Easily remove and install sensor on a 1996 corvette. It did not damage either the sensor or plug.

worked fine

Excellent Lisle quality as usual. Fits perfect.

WARNING: Sharp burrs inside. Be careful when cleaning inside or you will cut your finger! Other than that this tool is a perfect fit for removal and installation of the oil pressure switch on a 2005 trailblazer. I could not have done the job without this socket. The pressure switch seems to be 1 1/16 with rounded points and the location of the switch make it so some other standard tools don't work. This socket and a short handle 3/8 ratchet (or regular length ratchet with small strokes) gets it done.

This socket is EXACTLY what you need to change the oil sender/sensor, if you have a 1996 Chevrolet C1500 with a 5.7L Vortec V-8. I'm sure it would work on about any other sensor that has a 27mm/1 1/16th wrench flat body. The sensor I replaced was 2.75 inches long from the top of the wiring socket to the bottom of the wrench flats. The Chinese socket I bought (which Amazon said would work for my truck) was only 2.5 inches deep! The Lisle socket is made in USA and makes an almost impossible job into one that is difficult but can be done at home. It's definitely worth the purchase price to me!

This is the correct one for the long GM 3 wire oil pressure switch. Others on Amazon are not long enough in the ID to reach the bottom. Works good, looks good.

OK, so the pressure sensor on my 2001 Suburban is really hard to see, harder to get a socket on, and even harder to put the new one into a hole you cannot see without disassembling the top end of the engine. I saw some YouTubes where they're taking off manifolds and stuff - above my pay grade. I just took off the top plastic cover. Here's my tips: 1) Get this socket (or something really really like it). A 'normal' socket won't do. It has to be deep. This socket is cheap, fits, and Amazon delivered it on time. 2) Use the right length extension. IIRC, I used 2 x 4" extensions and a u-joint (because I couldn't find my 8"). It needs to be about this long. Too short OR too long and you can't 'ratch-it.' I used duct tape on every joint to make sure nothing came loose. I've learned this lesson the hard way on other hard to reach tasks. 3) Use a 'trouble light' and your smartphone! I balanced my iPhone on the left side of the engine and ran a Google 'Meet' with my laptop that I balanced on top of the engine. A little 'WiFi laggy' but being able to see the 'blind hole' is the secret sauce. All told, a piece of cake. I had a bit of panic once I got the old sensor out because at that point you've crossed the Rubicon. You can't just drive your truck over to your mechanic buddy because you have this open hole with 40+ psi if you start the engine. Doing the Meet (or Zoom) got me off the cliff and made all the difference.

worked

まさしく痒い所に手が届くという言葉がピッタリです。通常の27ミリのディープソケットでは届かず焦ってしまいましたが、専用工具なのでバッチリ交換作業ができました。

Fit perfectly.

This socket was perfect for the task. However, replacing an oil pressure sensor on a GM LT engine is not the easiest task. Access is limited and you have to work by feel unless you have a video borescope tool. If your hands are large this method may not work for you. The first challange is to remove the electrical connector on the top of the sensor. I couldn't get it off using my fingers and ended up using a loop of wire to hook the latching clip and lift the connector off. After that things went quite smoothly. The socket fit nicly on the sensor, but it dropped out of the socket on the way out and I couldn't recover it. Before installing the new sensor I put a strip of electrical tape in the socket to ensure that the sensor was secure, I should have done this before removing the old sensor. Be careful when you fit the new sensor, you don't want to cross thread it!

This made me remove the oil sensor in less than 5min!
