the plugs shouldnt be overly tight anyway....................they dont need to be FT!

the 3/8 does undo the gearbox filler but the tranny box and axle fillers are really FT
i've now found a 10mm square key

I know they can be FT but they shouldnt be, people just go over the top tightening them up. I pop a smear of copper grease on the thread to stop them seizing in to much and just nip them tight.

I went down exactly the same school of thought and bought a 10mm square socket, then rounded the inside of the filler plug just like a 3/8 ratchet does, so it was a waste of time & money.

I now undo it with a big set of mole grips on the outside and do them up with a 3/8 ratchet. The gearbox and transfer boxes don't mind the 3/8 ratchet and are made of stearner stuff!
