Tappet covers

SnapOn tools are really good and I've had mine for over 40 years, just don't buy more of them than you can use!

I would guess that they are aftermarket tappet covers, hence the non standard 16mm size and cheese metal.
Anywhere that sells single sockets and spanners should have 16mm available.
peterengland:
Haven't 'broken' one either but doesn't change the fact that they are soft as s###. Also according to DSS they are a high turnover part. Just crap design
Bryanj:
NOT crap design or material just people tightening them up too much on old O rings

Probably done up by the same twats who tighten spark plugs like they're anchoring a aircraft carrier. >:(
