Feature

Magnetic Retention Technology: Permanent magnets integrated into the socket bore prevent the spark plug from dropping, especially in overhead or deep-valve-cover configurations.
Integrated Universal Joint (Swivel): Models 3633-14, 3633-16, and 3633-21 feature a built-in swivel head to navigate tight engine compartments and firewall obstructions.
12-Point Profile (14mm): The 14mm socket features a 12-point thin-wall design, specifically required for modern multi-valve engines (BMW, Mini, PSA).
Metallurgy: Forged Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel with precision heat treatment for consistent hardness.
· Why does the 14mm socket have 12 points? Modern high-performance engines use specialized 14mm bi-hex (12-point) spark plugs. This socket is designed to fit those plugs with high precision to prevent rounding.
Will the magnet crack under heat? No. The industrial-grade magnets are shielded and heat-resistant, designed to maintain their magnetic flux even when working on a recently operated, hot engine.
Can these be used with an Impact Wrench? No. These are Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) hand tool sockets. They are designed for precision tightening and removal using a manual 3/8″ ratchet.
What is the benefit of the Swivel (Universal Joint) sockets? They allow you to apply torque at an angle. This is critical when a spark plug is located behind a wire harness, structural brace, or air intake manifold.
