GEARWRENCH 80404 8 Inch Swivel Socket Review

Great tool, glad I bought it!. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the item arrived with a little bit of rust on the inside of the frame (at least)

The spark arresting rubber bushing popped out on first use. This makes it even more of a hassle to remove this bushing from an installed spark plug with very little access. This outlet will let you down.

This really turned out to be the key component that allowed me to do my own jack change on my 2005 E500. The swivel base allowed me to get the position I wanted with minimal play. This tool worked well and did an excellent job.

Great Product! Worked perfectly on my '07 Buell to replace the spark plugs. (very difficult to get behind the frame). This socket has a built in rubber boot that will hold the spark plug in place when removing or installing. One trick I learned was to use a rubber fuel hose to start the spark plug. I would definitely buy another one if needed.

Quality head from Gearwrench. Very smooth and polished, looks like a more expensive brand. The head is great for a ratchet and perfect for a spark plug. Panning motion is smooth. The rubber insert used to grip the spark plug tends to catch on the end of the spark plug during installation. So be careful when working with deep, hard-to-reach spark plug tubes.
