Glow Plug Socket Set 10mm & 12mm Extra Deep 3/8in Dr

A 2-piece glow plug socket set with 10mm and 12mm extra deep sockets, made for reaching recessed fixings on long threaded bolts. With a 3/8in drive and 120mm length, it is suited to jobs where a standard socket will not reach properly.

Used for vehicle maintenance and repair work where fixings sit deep inside panels or brackets, these sockets are particularly useful for handbrake cable adjusters on various VAG, Vauxhall/Opel, BMW and Ford models. They can also be used for diesel glow plugs with 10mm and 12mm hex fittings, along with other awkward access jobs such as some bumper, rear lamp and door hinge fixings. For garage work, servicing and regular repair tasks, the extra depth helps when long bolts make access difficult with ordinary sockets.

The set includes two single hex 6-point sockets in the most relevant sizes for these applications: 10mm and 12mm. Each socket is 120mm long, giving added reach into recessed areas while the 3/8in drive fits common ratchets and extensions already found in many tool kits. The 6-point profile gives a more direct fit on hex fasteners, which is useful when working in confined spaces where tool movement is limited. Covering both supplied sizes helps avoid switching to improvised tools when common adjustment or removal jobs come up.
