I’m gonna pick one of these up and was wondering if anyone here has tried one? My only concern is the depth of the socket part itself.. could be a little short?

It is sort of like the factory part. I like the factory part coupled with the supplied Allen wrench. Gets into tight spaces, and I have the racket version of the Allen wrench.


I'm not sure about the exact 914 supplied item, but the one I have is just a 6-7" pipe with the correct socket opening pressed on one side. There is NO rubber insert and you have to fit a screwdriver into a hole on the side to get it to turn. Again, a sloppy solution imho. Yours may be better - I have seen some that are similar to what I posted above.. Klein tools maybe, but I assumed they were 911 items.

Yeah. From my 911. Sorry. Factory part was misleading.
