Briggs oil drain plug

Post by Jen and Don »

After rounding off a few drain plug bolts, I finally found a socket that works great as apposed to a 3/8" open end wrench! It's an (8) point 3/8" socket. I tried a 6 point and 12 point but they won't even fit over it. It is in an awkward spot and if you are changing your oil often (which you should be), I think this will make your life a little easier. Praying for warm temps! Don

We also have a square, rather than 8 point, in 3/8 drive

Another tip here, if you use the square end of a spark plug socket, where the 3/8 driver would ususally go and the the appropriate wrench size on the top of the socket it works well i've found.
