Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive spark plug socket combines deep-well design with an integrated magnetic insert to eliminate dropped electrodes and improve workshop efficiency. The 12-point internal profile ensures positive engagement without cam-out, while the chrome plating provides corrosion resistance in demanding shop environments.

Why This Socket Matters

Modern engines require precision spark plug service. The magnetic insert is not a luxury—it's a work-saver that prevents electrode loss in confined engine bays, reducing frustration and rework time. The 65mm depth accommodates recessed plug wells without requiring extensions, which means faster service and cleaner torque delivery.
