Review on πŸ”§ Universal Joint 3/8-Inch Drive Swivel Socket Removal Tool 12pt 96L (16mm) – Thin Wall Spark Plug Socket for BMW by Brent Ayyagari

Revainrating 3 out of 5

WILL NOT WORK with my BMW R1150RT! The nest is too shallow by almost an inch to catch the flats.

Bought when taking a 2003 BMW r1150rt to rebuild knowing I would need a 16mm thin wall with a deep well. 8 months later I've tried unplugging and it just goes round and round and round and the plug won't come out. I figured I might have the wrong plugs on my bike so I bought a 14mm plug that fits over a ceramic plug but not on flat surfaces. Borrowed a thin wall 5/8 and unplugged it. Order the correct 16mm (really deep wells, not those 1-1/4 inch). For reference, my other spark plug sockets are at least 2-1/4 inches deep, and the distance from the top of the spark plug to the bottom of the flats is 2 inches.

Pros
  • Easy to replace spark plugs: This magnetic spark plug connector on both ends has a strong enough magnet, the swivel head can securely hold the ratchet, the top can tighten spark plugs, the spark plug is not easy to lose when installing and removing, simple and efficient
Cons
  • here nothing
