Laser Tools introduces a slim-fit star E12 socket

Laser Tools has just introduced an extra-long slim-fit star E12 socket (part number 8718), specifically designed for the PSA EB2 series of engines that use E12 Torx cylinder head bolts.

On these engines access to the cylinder head bolts is very restricted — even after removal of the camshafts a standard E12 socket cannot be used. The Laser 8718 socket’s slim fit design and length allow the user to easily access the head bolts.

This 1/2in drive socket is 200mm long to give the required access; it is manufactured from chrome-vanadium steel (CRV 6150) for toughness and shock resistance and finished with black phosphate.
