Powerbuilt 3/8-Inch Drive Spark Plug Socket Set, 6 Point, Deep Thin Wall, 5 Piece Metric and SAE - 640855, Grey

I ordered this set for one reason: complete my existing tooling with the 14 and 18mm sockets. I simply couldn’t find fast enough at a reasonable price a 14mm socket for Mazda 3 2.0 liters SkyActiv spark plugs. It was cheaper for me to buy this whole set instead of chasing a single hexagonal 6 sided 14mm socket. FYI; most 14 mm spark plug sockets are 12 points and are designed for German cars. ** Don’t ever use any of these 12 points sockets on a hexagonal keyway spark plug socket. The chances of rounding off the spark plug when removing it are not worth it.** I used some duct tape to fasten together the 14mm socket to a 6 inches 3/8 extension. This way, it’s simply impossible for the socket to stay attached to the plug down in the spark plug well when done torquing down the new plugs. Another thing that surprised me positively is the fact that the inner rubber attachment never came loose and stayed at the very bottom of the socket. Some cheaper spark plug sockets rubber inserts have a tendency to come loose and remain on the spark plugs or in your tool box… I wouldn’t hesitate to use these sockets again in the future whenever another spark plug jobs comes in the shop. I personally prefer magnetic spark plug sockets but this set is a lot better then what i was anticipating quality wise. *Update: i use the same setup for spark plugs removal/replacement on a more recent 2020 Mazda CX-5 with regular atmospheric 2.5 SkyActiv. Same great results and ease to work with this spark plug socket.

Soquetes perfeitos eu recomendo

Yes....reviews are correct. These things are a nightmare to remove. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. However, just watch the video to get a better idea how you can do it. I prefer my method after trying it out. Just break the plastic holder where the 13/16" Socket is located. You can see where it is partially indented there for where to break it. Then all of the other Sockets will slide to that opening and they can be removed easily from there. It makes for a great way to keep these Sockets organized if you do not do what the guy in the video did with a table Vice. These things are well built and Heavy-Duct for a very reasonable price. Glad I found these Sockets!
