You'll need it if you work with a BMW

I bought these when I discovered that my £50k tools I own did NOT include a 12 pin spark plug boot, leading me to one Frankenstein made tuning BMW X5 to do together. They are strong enough to last a lifetime.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Excellent value for money

Good product with good rough finish. Header images show the product as it is. It's easy to use, however, but you can use an extension with a locking ball mechanism to keep your head from dropping into the spark plug hole. They can be easily separated from each other with very little effort.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Functionality

Perfect fit for BMW 528I

I ordered these for my 2013 BMW 528 because the normal ones didn't fit the wall. They worked great and were able to change my spark plugs with no problems. In fact, they worked better than magnetic ones, and I had my doubts about them. They hold and release the parking fork perfectly. Also very good quality and durable feel, not cheap material. Generally they do their job and do it well. Worth the price

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Just what I needed for my 2012 1.8 liter Nissan Versa.

. I bought these just in case as you need to remove the intake manifold to get to the spark plugs (sarcastic "thanks" to the Nissan engineers). Turns out I needed 14mm to remove the spark plugs as the space inside is smaller than the standard spark plug socket size. The walls of these sockets are thinner, but they're for plugs only, so that's fine.

Pros
  • . Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Damaged

Matches my spark plugs perfectly

I have one of the newer engines where the spark plugs are at the bottom center of the engine and are very difficult to reach. I bought these spark plug sockets to make my first attempt at changing spark plugs easier. After removing the individual turns of the connector, I inserted this jack into the connector and it came out. All 4 forks held up perfectly and the replacements held up perfectly allowing me to hand tighten the replacements without the risk of the threads twisting from the plug…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Negative

nice well made socket to fix my faucet

I have a hot/cold water dispenser in the kitchen sink area that is starting to give me problems and I thought I might need to replace it. This spare part is very expensive so I googled it and found it can be repaired but I need a 14mm thin walled head. I found this at Revain and it was reasonably priced so I bought it. It looks great, very nice finish and works like a charm. I was able to repair my dispenser faucet without buying an expensive replacement faucet. Very happy with the sockets.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
