Fits 370Z: Tools and Equipment

This is a very thin wall socket if you need it. There is also a swivel which I didn't need on my 370Z. Holds the forks well with a magnet.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Not suitable for E46 or E70 plugs. They require 16mm

Thought the description said it would work but it doesn't. Requires 5/8 or 16mm instead of 14mm for E46 and E70 with 6-cylinder engines NA: M62

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Hard Chrome Magnetic Custom Spark Plug Cartridge

Summary: I have changed motorcycle spark plugs for the last 30 years. Generally more difficult than cars due to tighter space constraints. Observations: Earlier designs used a rubber insert that stuck to the spark plug in the engine half the time. A round magnetic ring is used that encloses a threaded end. The hard chrome finish is good for easy cleaning. The built-in swivel joint ensures that the socket outlet does not detach from the swivel joint. Note that the product pool states "fully…

Pros
  • Highest Support and Durability Ratings from Testers
Cons
  • Volume

Good price, some fancy designs

This bit has a decent finish and should be strong enough to withstand casual hand tool use. Definitely unsafe for impact use and not even "I know it's not impact resistant but only once will it be fine." The walls are noticeably thin at the socket end and the ball neck is less fleshy than most 3-bit tools /8 drive. The ball joint has 6 points as opposed to the more common 4 points used in most ball u sockets and adapters. This will likely make it a lot weaker at high torque but will spin more…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some issues

The perfect tool for the Turbo L6 engine

It's such a simple tool but essential when designing BMW 6 cylinder inline turbocharged heads like the N54 engine. The spark plug hole is deep and slightly offset at the end, and while a 12-point "straight" socket can work with a suitable thin-walled design, this swivel head makes the job a lot easier. Swivel sockets increase the chance of breaking porcelain when reinstalling, but in my opinion the chance of breakage is very low because this socket limits the possible rotation to a small angle…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

High-quality head for hard-to-reach spark plug tubes

The rear spark plug on my 2015 Subaru Forester is located inches from the inner fender wall and is battery locked. Replacing it requires removing the battery and a thin-walled 14mm spark plug cartridge, which is attached to a series of pivots. My first spark plug change was about 60,000 miles ago and it's time for me to change them again. The Renekton Magnetic Swivel Candle Socket has most of what I need for this candle built in. The only addition I needed was a 3 inch extension to reach the…

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Expensive
