Apex 80404 Spark Plug Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 5/8 in

Product Description

The APEX 80404 is a standard-length spark plug socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it resists rust and corrosion in shop and field environments. The 5/8 inch, 6-point design grips spark plugs securely during removal and installation, reducing the chance of rounding. At 2.5 inches in length and 0.24 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for engine service work performed by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and HVAC service professionals working on engine-driven equipment.

This socket is intended for use on standard spark plug applications requiring a 5/8 inch hex. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with common ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches found in general mechanical service. The standard length profile works well in accessible plug locations without the need for a deep-reach socket. It is sold individually and is appropriate for light-duty engine tune-up work, ignition system service, and scheduled maintenance on small engines and automotive platforms.
