AB Tools Spark Plug Socket - 14mm - 3/8in Drive - 12 Point

The primary advantage is its thin-walled construction combined with a swivel design, allowing for easier access and removal of spark plugs in confined or hard-to-reach engine spaces.

No, this socket is specifically designed for 14mm spark plugs with a 3/8 inch drive. Always ensure your spark plug size matches the socket's specifications.

The socket contains a powerful magnet within its core that securely grips the metal spark plug once it is loosened, preventing it from falling during removal.

The socket is manufactured from Chrome Vanadium (CR-V) steel, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear.

This socket is designed for use with standard ratchets, power bars, and extensions. It is not rated for impact wrench use, which could damage the socket or the spark plug.

A 12-point socket has twice as many contact points as a standard 6-point socket, offering a more secure grip on the fastener and allowing for engagement at finer angles.

Wipe it clean with a dry cloth. For tougher grease or dirt, use a lightly damp cloth with mild degreaser, then dry thoroughly immediately. Store in a dry place.

Ensure the magnetic core is clean and free of debris. If the spark plug is excessively dirty or corroded, it may affect magnetic grip. Clean both the socket's magnet and the spark plug.

Verify that you are using the correct 14mm socket for a 14mm spark plug. Check the wall thickness specification (1.2mm) against the available space in the aperture. This socket is designed for tight fits, but extremely narrow apertures may still present a challenge.

The swivel joint may require light lubrication. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil or light machine oil to the pivot point and work the joint back and forth. Wipe away any excess.

Ensure you are using a standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet and that the drive square on the ratchet is clean and undamaged. Check for any wear on the socket's drive connection.
