Full details

Its primary benefit is a built-in magnetic tip that secures drain plugs, preventing them from falling into messy oil collection pans.

FAQs
Does this work with 1/2-inch drive ratchets?
No, this tool is designed for 3/8-inch drive ratchets. You would need a 1/2 to 3/8-inch adapter if you only have a 1/2-inch drive tool.
Can this be used on vehicles other than Renault and Ford?
Yes, as long as the vehicle uses a 10mm square oil drain plug, the tool will function correctly.
Is the magnet replaceable?
No, the magnet is integrated into the head of the tool and is not intended for user replacement.
Does the tool come with a handle?
No, this is a tool bit only; a compatible ratchet or T-handle is required.
How do I maintain the magnet?
Keep it free of metal filings and debris by wiping it after every use.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic tip failing to hold the plug
Clean the tip thoroughly of oil and metallic debris using a degreaser and a cloth.
Tool does not fit the drain plug
Verify the vehicle's drain plug size; the MB.S10 is specifically a 10mm square drive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the tool, ensure your ratchet is set to the correct direction for loosening before applying force. The tool is compatible with 3/8-inch square drive handles. Regarding compatibility, verify that your vehicle's oil sump plug is a 10mm square type before attempting use. After every oil change, wipe the magnetic tip clean with a degreaser or shop towel to ensure metal shavings or debris do not accumulate, which could weaken the magnetic grip. Store in a dry, organized toolbox to maintain the integrity of the steel.
