Useful addition to a toolkit
This core plug installer is not too expensive, nicely made from good quality materials and a credible attempt at offering a kit to assist installing core plugs with the engine still in the car. It does not completely replace the large socket on the end of an extension DIY insertion tool (pic), but is useful alongside it. One thing that is really important- the core plug must be a snug fit- I had to add "O" rings to the closest tool in the set to hold the core-plug on (pic). Kept falling off otherwise and is not centred so it will not insert straight. Another thing- instructions say to use "a hammer". One really needs a fairly heavy hammer or mallet to give a few accurate, powerful blows. Working on the floor with little room, a 1.5 kg/ 3 lb club mallet did the job. I think a copper head of similar weight would be better for less rebound. If access to the core-plug holes is limited (line of sight minimum), this kit cannot work miracles, but it is nevertheless a useful addition to my toolkit.

Great for 5/8" axle plugs on old American cars too.
Compact good quality part- no fancy polished finish- just functional. I used it to remove a drain plug from a rear axle that looked like it had not been taken out for at least 20 years. Open spanners were in danger of further damaging the plug corners- see pic of chewed corner from previous owner. This small socket spreads any load onto the four sides of the plug, not the corners. It was a little too big at 17mm for a 5/8" square plug, but as it pushes the sides, not the corners with a long wheel lug nut wrench it worked fine.

excellent quality
A lot of dust boots available today are thin walled and made from a polypropylene type plastic- it kinks easily and does not feel right. These are much better- nice thick walled neoprene type material that should do the job for years.
