Review on 🧲 GEARWRENCH 3/8" Drive 6 Pt. Magnetic Swivel Spark Plug Socket Set - 5 Piece, 80601 by Christopher Isaac

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very convenient good price

I only bought this set because I noticed Matco selling it on their trucks and renaming it Matco Tool. I will say if you want to save about $50 you can by buying this set. Well I'll be honest I've had this set for almost a year and have used it sparingly and in the jobs I've done it has worked great, the swivel is well made, the various lifeline extensions for tight spacing, and the magnets were soaked in oil (due to some work where the candle holes were filled to the brim with oil). Now while these are all great things to consider, I had one instance where none of these outlets worked and that was on a Nissan Juke. The spark plug holes were so small that the extensions from this kit would not fit. Upon further inspection I thought maybe there was something wrong with the car itself so I took what I thought was a 3/8 9/16 deep socket and extension and to my surprise it fitted the tube with no problem. Well, this was one instance where they didn't work. May I recommend this tool? Absolutely. My only concern is that you might come across a vehicle that might pose a problem resolving. Despite this, I find this set very comfortable and excellent value for money.
