🔧 Motion Pro 08-0175: Reliable 18mm Spark Plug Socket for Efficient Maintenance Review

The quality can't be faulted but it just didn't work on my 2007 Honda Shadow 600. It has four plugs for two cylinders. The two plugs are relatively light, but two are set at an angle to the center of the cylinders.

I found that whoever installed the plug earlier did not fully install the plug, it was at least 1/8 inch out of the hole for an unknown amount of time as the previous owner clearly did not have a suitable outlet. Luckily…
