Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Renekton 14mm Spark Plug Socket with Magnetic Swivel, 3/8-Inch Drive โ€“ Fits BMW, Thin Wall Design, Cr-V Steel, 12 Point by Erik Barela

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, some fancy designs

This bit has a decent finish and should be strong enough to withstand casual hand tool use. Definitely unsafe for impact use and not even "I know it's not impact resistant but only once will it be fine." The walls are noticeably thin at the socket end and the ball neck is less fleshy than most 3-bit tools /8 drive. The ball joint has 6 points as opposed to the more common 4 points used in most ball u sockets and adapters. This will likely make it a lot weaker at high torque but will spin more smoothly and be less likely to bind at high angles. Good for access and for the relatively low torque this head is likely to see. The 12-point head itself has very rounded tips that leave most of the spark plug's flat area unused. This increases the likelihood of socket failure and spark plug rounding during removal, but may ease access to particularly dirty spark plugs.
