Product Description

Brief Overview

This 2-piece plastic drain plug socket set is engineered for technicians servicing European commercial vehicles—Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, and Neoplan models. The set includes two specialty sockets with distinct drive profiles (three-tab and four-lobed designs) to accommodate different plastic drain plug head geometries. Both sockets feature a 3/8-inch drive and 17mm hexagonal outer dimension, enabling seamless integration with standard ratchet wrenches and impact tools. This set eliminates the risk of stripped or damaged plastic plugs that occurs with improvised tools, making it an essential addition to any shop's drain maintenance toolkit. Pair this with oil drain plug thread repair kits for a complete drain service solution, or explore other vehicle-specific drain plug sets to expand your coverage across different OEM platforms.

Why Shops Choose This Set

Technicians working on commercial vehicles encounter plastic drain plugs regularly—these require finesse and the correct socket geometry to avoid cross-threading or cracking. Using general-purpose sockets or improvised methods damages plugs, leading to comebacks and customer dissatisfaction. This purpose-built set ensures clean, repeatable drain service without risk of stripped threads or broken plugs. The dual drive profiles handle the geometry variations across different model years and engine platforms, reducing the need for multiple tool purchases.

For shops managing mixed fleets, this set is a baseline investment that pays dividends through faster service cycles and fewer warranty callbacks.
