The Remscheid-based manufacturer of quality hand tools and workshop equipment HAZET has now developed special exhaust gas probe inserts with which the lambda probe, particle sensor, NOX sensor and exhaust gas temperature sensors can be removed and installed.

The exhaust gas probe inserts are now available in five different designs for all common probe diameters from 14mmto 24mm. The inserts have a half-inch double square drive and an additional hexagon drive, which can also be used to avoid widening the slot with the help of an open-end wrench.

As a practical addition for working in hard-to-reach or angled places, HAZET offers a special operating tool with a wrench size of 17mm, for exhaust gas temperature sensors. For the dismantling of lambda sensors, the lambda sensor inserts of the HAZET numbers 4680-1 to 4680-3 in various lengths and with half-inch hexagon drive are also available.

After the sensors/probes have been dismantled, new special thread cutters developed by HAZET complement the range. HAZET recommends using these thread cutters not only for repairing damaged threads, but also for cleaning the threads, which are usually soot-covered or corroded.

The new thread cutters are particularly characterised by their special TiAIN coating made of titanium-aluminium nitride. This coating, which is heat-resistant up to 800°, makes them particularly robust and therefore also enables them to be used on stainless steel exhaust systems, for example. This also means that there is no need to wait for the exhaust system to cool down, which in turn saves time.

All thread cutters have a guide pin, so that jamming in the thread to be re-cut is practically impossible. This means that soot-covered, corroded or damaged threads can be re-cut precisely or residues can be removed. The cleaning groove between the cutting surfaces ensures that no residue gets into the cutting area.
