Glue in rubber sleeve

As others have said the rubber inside is not very secure. As soon as I bought it, I pulled it out and superglued it, then put it back in place. I've used this socket a few times since then and the rubber part seems to stay in place. Otherwise it works great and is worth the money.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Some problems

Precisely fitting spark plugs Nissan Rogue

This plug worked perfectly on our 2015 Nissan Rogue spark plugs. Save lots of money at the dealer and change spark plugs with this tool! You'll also need an outlet extender, but if you know what you're doing, this tool will work great. It was pretty tight on the connectors so I had to pry it off with needle nose pliers, but that wasn't a big deal. I prefer it a little tighter than too loose.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Hardly ever

Did a plumbing job (wrench)

Actually need it for plumbing (3 valve shower set US Hampton standard - 14mm deep base required to remove mixer valve - no standard valve wrench will do) - the head can Can be fitted with a wrench on the drive end (has six sides) - this allows you to get torque without using a 3/8 drive. The hole under the square key needs to be enlarged a bit. to allow the valve stem to pass - the length of the valve stem does not allow for a 3/8 actuator fit.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • hard to tell

Will not grip tips without an end nut.

The bushing is well made and finished, but it's missing a star for not gripping forks that don't have a strong pressure port or don't use a port nut as is common on motorcycles and other power sports. Equipment using only a threaded contact stud as shown in the attached figure. If the plus end is present, like on my HIsun HS400 UTV, and on many motorcycles and other small engines, you can hand thread the pole nut on. and remove it after installing the stub.

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Volume

Fits my motorcycle spark plugs but doesn't hold them.

My bike came with a spark plug tool. However, it is designed to be rotated using a public key. I need. It's too thick to fit the socket wall of my torque wrench between it and the decorative head cover (which can only be removed by pulling off a few things). I refuse to install things like spark plugs unless I can tighten them to the correct torque. I bought this so I could add it to a simple extension so I could get through the head cover without risking the connector being screwed in…

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • No power

Please read my review

I struggled with this review. The product does not cause any problems and works well. But Blue-Point makes a better product for the same price. While this product is good I would decline as I can get a better price elsewhere. This product is a little more ideal for home users as you can easily get a warranty from parts stores like O'Reilly. This is a good tool and well worth the money. My problem is that the Blue-Point is priced the same and the rubber insert is much better than this socket. It

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Overall the socket works fine and is strong enough to remove and install spark plugs - I would give 5 stars except for the fact that on the second connector the little rubber ring holding the connector in the socket came out of the socket when the tool was removed from the car - and anyone who has ever tried a modern connector Most importantly, the car knows that one of them is down in connector tubes where it's hard to reach, so I had to remove the connector, remove the rubber holder from the…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Requires socket
