Excellent value for money and quality!

Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional mechanic, the right tools make the job easier and faster. In the past I've used spark plug heads that didn't hold the spark plug in place or had rubber inserts that usually fell out when I didn't want them to. There's also a guessing game of which socket extender to use, as well as removing obstructions (e.g. steering components) where you may need an extra swivel to remove or install spark plugs. will eliminate all of this completely, but in most cases it will. The swivel head attaches each magnetic spark plug cartridge to a variable length extension. The articulated swivel allows a rotation angle of approx. 10 degrees and is firmly connected to the plug-in head. A magnetic core is connected in each socket and effectively holds the spark plugs and minimizes damage. Although the new stock is secure, the stock hinge may loosen with use and over time. This is not a unique selling point of this product, but a weakness of all hinges. 4β€³, 6β€³ and 11β€³ extensions allow for more spark plug removal and replacement. At first I had concerns about the connection. Solenoid bushings, but the spark plug seat engages the spark plug under the solenoid bushing and does not stress the magnet insert. Make sure the spark plug is seated properly before inserting it into the spark plug hole. I've had no issues with a spark plug failing to center itself properly in the socket. The sturdy hard plastic case keeps the nests organized and protected. A thin piece of foam keeps the sockets from rattling as they fall out of their sockets inside the case. I have recently used them on a Dodge Caravan V-6 and S10 Blazer and am very happy with them. The value for money of having them in your toolbox is excellent.
