When access is difficult, reach for this new compact, swivel-headed spark plug and glow plug socket set

Within the tightly-packaged modern engine bay, access to spark plug and glow plugs can be difficult to say the least. This new Swivel Spark and Glow Plug Socket Set from Laser Tools (part number 8066) features slim, compact, swivel-headed sockets designed for difficult to access areas and the 95mm length allows even deep-seated plugs to be removed with ease. 

Six of the swivel-headed sockets are included — 1/4" drive sizes: 8, 9mm x single hex (6pt) and 3/8" drive sizes: 10, 12, 16mm x single hex (6pt); 14mm x bi-hex (12pt).

When fitting new Pressure Sensor Glow plugs (PSG), or refitting existing ones (perhaps after performing a compression test), particular care must be taken not to let the electrical connector on the end of the plug become damaged from dirt ingress or electrostatic charging — six plastic protective caps are also provided in the set for this purpose. These are fitted to the glow plug during installation, then removed before refitting the electrical connection.

This useful set is available now from your Laser Tools stockist.
