Product Information

Full details

The Bike It Motorcycle Magnetic Spark Plug Socket (18mm) is an essential tool designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and DIY mechanics who need a reliable way to remove and install spark plugs in tight engine bays. Its standout feature is the integrated magnet that secures the plug, effectively preventing it from slipping or dropping into restricted areas of the engine block. While it offers excellent grip and precision, users should verify that their specific motorcycle model requires an 18mm socket size before beginning their maintenance tasks.

FAQs

Will this fit all spark plugs?

No, this socket is specifically designed for 18mm spark plugs. Always check your motorcycle service manual for the correct plug size.

Do I need an extension bar?

Depending on the location of the spark plug on your engine, an extension bar is usually recommended to clear the engine casing or frame rails.

Can I use this with an impact wrench?

It is recommended to use this socket with a manual ratchet or torque wrench to prevent damage to the spark plug threads.

How do I clean the magnet?

Use a dry cloth or a magnet pickup tool to remove any small metallic debris that may have collected on the internal magnet.

What is the drive size of this socket?

This socket features a standard 3/8-inch drive.

Is there a magnetic socket for other sizes?

Yes, Bike It offers the same magnetic socket design in 16mm and 20.6mm sizes.

Troubleshooting

The socket is not holding the spark plug securely.

Check the interior of the socket for accumulated metal shavings or thick grease that might be blocking the magnet. Clean with a degreaser and compressed air.

The socket feels loose on the spark plug.

Verify that your spark plug is exactly 18mm. If the plug hex is damaged or worn, the socket may not seat properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Standard 3/8-inch drive fits most workshop tools
  • Rugged build quality for long-term reliability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this socket, ensure your ratchet or extension bar features a 3/8-inch square drive. Before starting, always ensure the engine is cool to prevent thermal expansion of the cylinder head threads. To maintain the tool, wipe the socket clean of any oil or debris after each use to keep the internal magnet free from metallic shavings that could impair its grip. Keep the socket in a dry toolbox to prevent surface oxidation. If you have a multi-bike garage, Bike It also offers this tool in 16mm (SPKSOC16) and 20.6mm (SPKSOC206) variations to cover a wider range of spark plug sizes.
