Review on πŸ”§ 5-Piece Powerbuilt 640855 Spark Plug Socket Set, 3/8-Inch Drive, Grey by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Look elsewhere for a better set

Creating the perfect product should be easy. In fact, these are just a couple of sockets with a gasket for spark plugs. The problems started when I tried to remove the first socket from the included plastic bracket. It looks like it will pop right out so I pulled it and the plastic broke off and the part was still in the socket so you couldn't attach a wrench. I tried to pull it out with pliers but the piece was too small. I ended up having to drill out a piece of plastic. It took me another ten minutes to get the plastic out of its socket before I could even use the set. Once I was able to use the set it worked great for the first three sparks. Traffic jams. Then, when installing 4.5 and 6, the candle pillow came loose along with the newly installed candle. So you have a stuck spark plug, out of reach under the engine, with a pillow on it. It was excruciatingly painful to remove and reinstall the spark plugs several times until the pillow finally got stuck in the socket. look elsewhere
