Proto J5026HPA Spark Plug Hand Socket 13/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J5026HPA is a 6-point spark plug hand socket designed for removing and installing spark plugs in engine service applications. It accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits 13/16 inch spark plugs, covering a wide range of common gasoline engine configurations. The socket measures 2.5 inches in overall length and is constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish that resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. This tool is suited for use by automotive technicians, small-engine mechanics, and trade professionals who require a reliable, standard-drive spark plug socket for bench or field service.

The J5026HPA is intended for hand-tool spark plug service on gasoline engines found in light-duty vehicles, small equipment, and generators. The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of rounding fasteners compared to 12-point designs, making it the preferred choice when working with tight or corroded spark plugs. The chrome finish holds up to shop environments and repeated use.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a qualified mechanic or technician using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Disconnect the ignition system and allow the engine to cool completely before removing spark plugs. Use a torque wrench when reinstalling spark plugs to meet engine manufacturer specifications. Avoid using impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.
