This socket worked perfectly on my 4.6 liter DOHC engine. What I really loved about it is that the external diameter of the socket was the perfect size to fit the long hole in my aluminum cylinder heads. It guided the new spark plug down in perfect alignment to prevent cross threading in my Aluminum engine. It also held the spark plug firmly yet was easy to pull back off the plug once the plug was tightened. I highly recommend this socket.

Ford placed the Escape’s V6 spark plugs down deep holes. I have (2) other standard spark plug sockets. Both are too big to fit in the spark plug holes.This socket is thin-walled and works perfectly on the Ford Escape. And it’s magnetic so once loose, it will suck the spark plug right out of the hole!Great tool, super addition to my tool box.

I was looking for an extra deep socket to extract spark plugs from a Subaru engine. One of that plugs had the metal ferrule stuck on it from the spark plug wire and the needle nose pliers couldn't reach it. I couldn't tell from the picture or item description whether the inside of the socket was open. As it turns out, it's not. I would have to drill out inside the socket so it would have the inside diameter to go over the stuck ferrule to engage the socket to the spark plug.A positive take away is the magnetic grip if the socket, and it's length. If you have hard to reach plugs this is an excellent tool to try as an option from the old style rubber grommet spark plug socket.

Just what I needed today when I changed the plugs on my 08 Cayman. Perfect length to get to the deep plugs and still had about an inch of socket sticking out. Made the job so easy.The magnetics held well but not so much that it was difficult to get the plugs out of it. Finish is average but I figure it will last me a lifetime.... seems well built and I had no issues.Certainly worth the cost if you consider the headaches of changing the plugs on a Porsche engine with almost zero working clearance.... and the hundreds of $$$$ the dealership will charge you. Couple of hours of work and I was done!!!

The perfect plug socket for my Subaru Forester with the 2.5 SOHC motor. 6 inch overall length is such that only the hex portion of the socket protrudes when the plug is fully seated. That's helpful since there isn't a lot of room between the valve cover and inner fender. The hex at the top is a nice feature: on my car there is room for a socket wrench, but on a vehicle with a very tight fit you could use a combo wrench or adjustable wrench to turn the socket.On cars with less deep plug wells, the knurling on the side would make it very easy to screw the plug by hand. I have to make do with spinning the hex portion, but that works fine.The inner hex portion that fits around the hex of the plug is 3/8" deep, so the plug does not go very far up into the socket: just far enough to grab and hold securely.The magnet is a cylindrical insert that fits around the insulator portion of the plug and grabs the metallic plug base. I think (and hope) the magnet is a press-fit, and is not just glued in there. I can't see any signs of adhesive.Overall, I like the magnetic plug keeper better than the rubber, but they both have their pros and cons. I've had rubber inserts pull out of sockets, and stay on the plug, a significant nuisance. The only problem with the magnet type is that the magnet grabs the top electrode of the plug as you insert it, causing it to stick to the side of the socket and catch the insulator, but it's not difficult to angle the plug some to push it fully in. And it's a cinch to pull the socket and plug apart - the magnet is strong enough to hold the plug securely, but not too strong.Machining of the socket is good, and the finish is satin, rather than glossy chrome, so it's easier to grip and spin by hand. Weighs 9 ounces. I expect this socket will last a good many years.
