Spark plug wrenches

Spark Plug Wrenches are hand tools of box type which allow to easily perform replacement of hard-to-reach ignition system elements. Fixation of the spark plug is provided due to the hollow working head with inner facets, and screwing in and out – by rotating the handle. The tools are generally made of hardened steel due to which they effectively cope with high loads and serve long.

Types of Spark Plug Wrenches

• Single-unit. They are reliable and wear-resistant. They are a solid tube, at the end of which the faceted working element is located. They can be:
  • Straight. The handle is a continuation of the functional part. Usually they are sold at low prices.
  • T-shaped. The handle is located perpendicular to the tube with facets. They are more convenient in work.
• Hinged. Due to the moveable head they are indispensable in conditions of limited access to the components.
• Magnetic. They draw and hold the spark plug which minimizes the risk of its falling.

The tools also differ by the dimensions: the head diameter and length. The first parameter for the most products presented in catalogues is 14, 16 or 21 mm. The second index is usually 60 – 560 mm. Long tools allow to work even with deeply located parts. Moreover, you can order online sets of spanners with different characteristics.
