STEELMAN PRO 3/8-Inch Drive x 5/8-Inch 6-Point Spark Plug Socket, 78236

Remove and install delicate and easily broken spark plugs in cars, trucks, lawnmowers, tractors, and more like a pro with the STEELMAN PRO 78236 3/8-Inch Drive x 5/8-Inch 6-Point Spark Plug Socket. Made from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel, this specially designed deep well socket fits any 3/8-inch drive ratchet, adapter, or extension to reach into engines and access spark plugs. The socket's 6-point design grips the sides of a spark plug's hex and not the corners to reduce wear and the chances of rounding off or breaking the spark plug. To take the hassle out of installation and removal, the interior of the socket features a custom rubber retainer insert that slips over the ceramic insulator of a spark plug to gently grip it with a secure hold that makes final extraction as well as initial insertion much easier. The socket has an attractive high polish chrome finish that easily wipes clean of oil, dirt, and engine grime which gives increased rust and corrosion resistance for a longer useful life for the tool. Rated to meet or exceed ANSI / ASME performance requirements for hand tools, this socket can handle tough use in any professional or home shop/garage. To prevent cracking and other damage to spark plugs during installation, only use the socket with hand-driven tools.
