What size drive does the socket have?

The socket has a 3/8" drive.

What is the benefit of the thin-wall design?

The thin-wall design allows access to spark plugs in confined spaces, which is common in many BMW and Mini engine designs.

What is the socket made of?

How do I clean the socket?

Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?

While the socket is durable, it's generally recommended to use hand tools to avoid over-torquing or damaging the spark plugs or socket. Check your vehicle's service manual for torque specifications.

What if the socket gets stuck on the spark plug?

Ensure the ratchet is disengaged. If the socket is stuck, use a small magnet or pick to gently remove the spark plug and socket.
