SPARK PLUG WRENCH
$4.99
is a specialized, dual-purpose tool used for servicing spark plugs, particularly in older vehicles and small-engine equipment. It is designed to fit the two most common spark plug hex sizes.
Description
- Dual-Sized Wrench: The tool has a different size opening on each end, allowing it to work with a wider range of equipment.
- 13/16″ (21 mm): This is a very common size for older automotive spark plugs and some larger spark plugs used in tractors and heavy-duty equipment.
- 3/4″ (19 mm): This is a standard size for spark plugs in many lawnmowers, chainsaws, snowblowers, and other small-engine outdoor power equipment.
- Socket Type: It’s typically a deep socket wrench, meaning it has an extended length to reach spark plugs that are recessed deep within the engine block or cylinder head.
- Grip or Retention Feature: Most spark plug wrenches or sockets have an internal feature to hold the spark plug securely. This is crucial for both removing and installing the plug without dropping it. This feature is often a rubber grommet or, in more modern designs, a magnet.
- Versatility: The combination of these two sizes into a single tool makes it highly convenient for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who work on a variety of different engines. It eliminates the need for two separate wrenches.
In summary, a spark plug wrench of this size is a practical tool for anyone who performs maintenance on both older vehicles and small, gasoline-powered equipment.
