Frequently Asked Questions
Why Use an Oil Drain Plug Key Set?
Oil drain plugs can use a variety of specialist profiles and sizes, meaning a conventional socket set may not always provide the correct tool for the job.
The Britool Hallmark 19-piece drain plug key set brings a wide selection of commonly used profiles together in one organised kit. The inclusion of the 3/8" sliding T-bar also provides useful additional leverage when dealing with tight or stubborn drain plugs.
The combination of square, hex, triangle and Torx profiles makes this a practical addition to any professional automotive servicing toolkit.

What sizes and types of sump plug keys are included?
The set contains 19 pieces, including 7mm–14mm and imperial male square keys, a 10mm female square, 8mm–17mm hex keys, a 10mm triangle key and a T45 Torx key. A 3/8" square drive sliding T-bar is also included. This comprehensive selection provides coverage for many commonly encountered automotive oil drain and gearbox plug designs.
Is a 3/8" sliding T-bar available for these oil drain plug keys?
Yes. A 3/8" square drive 165mm sliding T-bar is available for use with the compatible Britool Hallmark drain plug keys. The longer handle provides additional leverage and controlled operation when removing tight or stubborn sump plugs and oil drain plugs during automotive servicing.
Which sump plug key do I need for my vehicle?
The correct sump plug key size and profile depends on the vehicle and the design of its drain plug. The Britool Hallmark range includes 7mm–14mm and 5/16"–3/8" square keys, 8mm–17mm hex keys, a 10mm triangle key and a T45 Torx-Star key. Always check your vehicle manufacturer's specification or the existing sump plug before ordering.
Are the Britool Hallmark drain plug keys available individually?
Yes. The Britool Hallmark 3/8" drive oil drain plug key range allows individual sizes and profiles to be purchased separately. This is useful if you only require one specific sump plug tool for a particular vehicle or need to replace a missing key. The complete 19-piece MODS19 set is also available for workshops requiring comprehensive coverage.
Are Britool Hallmark sump plug keys suitable for professional garages and mechanics?
Yes. These 3/8" drive oil drain plug keys are designed for automotive servicing and are suitable for professional mechanics, garages, vehicle technicians, workshops and experienced DIY users. The wide range of profiles makes them particularly useful for workshops servicing multiple vehicle makes and models, including applications using specialist square, triangle and Torx-style drain plugs.
