This is a silly question but I need a recommendation as to a functional spark plug socket for a six. Haven’t done this for a while, but I have two sockets, one won’t hold the plug while the other won’t release it. Turning this job into (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

QUOTE(sixaddict @ Nov 18 2025, 12:28 PM)  I have two sockets, one won’t hold the plug while the other won’t release it. Are you using sockets with the rubber inserts? Have you tried a magnetic one? I bought a used Snap-on one off eBay and have been happy with its use on our 356 engine. |

Of course they have inserts…..as I said one is old and not good enough to hold the plug.
The newer one is so tight the extension pulls loose, and the socket stays behind. Like I said silly ass problem but figuring someone has a socket that works…. |

I saw someone using a koken recently, looked and worked really well. They have several different kinds.
