Review on 🧲 Lang Tools 528: Magnetic Spark Plug Socket for 3/8" Drive, 5/8" D - Efficient and Reliable Solution by Brian Potter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Magnet holds connector precisely

This magnetic key works much better than my old one with the sponge rubber insert. Each spark plug in my Honda Civic sits at the bottom of a deep, narrow hole, so I have to use an extension wrench. The problem with my old key is that its foam insert is too tight on the connector. After tightening the connector, I have to pull the extension hard enough to disengage the extension from the key before the key can disengage the connector. This keeps the wrench at the bottom of the well (how I tightened the plug and pulled out the wrench is a long story). But with this new key, the magnet holds the cork securely enough, but not too tight. I can remove the wrench from the connector by pulling on the extension. This key looks well built and durable. One of the other reviewers said the magnet in his wrench was loose. Mine seems reliable, but I put a few drops of superglue on the rim of the magnet, just in case.

Pros
  • Quality construction
