Unusable "deep " rosette

Long but not deep rosette. Its depth is only 2 inches and more than half of the path is solid. There is a step of about 1 inch, then the maximum depth is 2-1/4 inches.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • old

Beautiful spark plug head

This has worked well on several jobs I've used it on. With the short socket extension, he was able to easily remove all 8 spark plugs from the Ford Mustang GT.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Good tool for removing spark plugs!

A good tool for changing spark plugs and sockets has a rubber insert to hold the spark plug in the socket. This tool is good for removing large threaded spark plugs in the cylinder head.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Drill kit

affordable and works well.

I need to change the spark plugs on my 2010 Audi A5. holds the fork well, maybe too well. When I put it back in the socket, the ratchet disengages it before it comes out of the socket. No big deal and easy to overcome.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • High price

does the trick; Not sure I like the swivel

I am a bot to use on my generator. That helped. It's a good heavy piece with a quality feel. I don't think I need a hinge joint; takes a little getting used to, but it works. No complaints.

Pros
  • . Pleased
Cons
  • Crumpled

I was looking for a socket that was hollow and deep enough to accommodate a spark plug with a broken spark plug boot. I get it. On the inside it is flat and designed for a regular spark plug, but on the outside it has a longer body.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Spark change from 1 hour to less than 5 minutes

My MX5 Roadster is eating spark plugs. This was a feature I found out before buying and it wasn't a big deal. One weekend I attempted to change spark plugs using a spark plug I bought at a local auto shop. Apparently it was too small, and after you unscrewed the spark plug and lifted it up, both the spark plug and the socket remained in the engine. I'm freaking out! I thought I completely screwed up my engine. My fingers couldn't get in there and neither could my tools. I finally found a…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of style
