Best spark plug socket

[Choppski]

Just wondered if anyone would share which brand of spark plug socket you use?

The reason I ask is that changing the plugs today with my draper 14mm plug socket, the damn plug kept falling out every....damn...time. Converting a 10 minute job into an hour.

Anyone else have this issue or is there a trick? Or just a case of a better socket?

Magnetic socket !

The plug doesn't fall out, the rubber / foam doesn't become unstuck

The one from my halfrauds professional set works very well and has never dropped one yet ...

use a short offcut of garden hose to fit the plugs so you can feel that they are not cross threaded and not put too much force on them, only use the socket for torqueing up against the crush washer

Same method here, I have found that the sockets with the rubber lining apply too much side load and crack the ceramic insulator if you have a bit of a wobble with the socket.
