Just spent $150 on a 'universal' O2 sensor socket that stripped the sensor on my first try
The thing was basically a fancy chrome paperweight, and I had to torch the old sensor out anyway. Anyone know a brand that actually works on rusted-in sensors?

Sounds like a skill issue. Just soak it in penetrating oil next time.

Read somewhere that a mix of acetone and ATF works better than most store bought stuff.

@lindagreen my buddy snapped a cheap HF socket and the sensor, and the torch trick still worked for him.
