Snap-on® Socket Set Provides Tight, Secure Grip for Spark Plug Changes
Patented Tapered Hex Design Securely Retains Spark Plugs
KENOSHA, WIS., June 30, 2004 - Changing spark plugs has never been quicker or easier with the new Snap-on Tapered Hex Spark Plug Socket Set (2005SPS), featuring the company's patented self-centering tapered hex design for secure manipulation and easy release of spark plugs.
The sockets' tapered hex design eliminates the need for rubber inserts, magnets or springs for securely holding on to spark plugs during removal and installation procedures. The tool's unique easy-release feature allows technicians to apply side pressure and easily remove the spark plug from the socket. A slim external hex design enables use in confined areas, and the knurled surface provides an easy grip.
The Tapered Hex Spark Plug Socket Set includes the new 9/16- and 5/8-inch hex standard length sockets (S9716KR, S9706KR), as well as the 5/8-inch hex universal retention socket (S9706KRFU). A six-inch quick-release locking extension (FXKL6) provides extra reach and a convenient medallion gap gauge (FB361A) offers fast and accurate measurements. All sockets comply with the American National Standards Institute.
The 9/16-inch sockets are suited to newer Ford Mustang and Ford F150 small truck models that are powered by Ford three-valve engines. The 5/8-inch sockets provide an accurate fit for most automobiles, light trucks, motorcycles and power equipment.
