The lightest, tightest fitting design using the best materials and coatings - a classic tool taken to the next level.
Features of the TRO 3/8" Drive Titanium Spark Plug Socket:
Beautifully machined from Titanium Ti-6AL-4V (Grade 5). High quality surface finish inside and out.
Exceptionally tight clearances. Both Hexes and the square drive offer much better fitment than standard tools. A near perfect fit.
With minimal play between the plug and tool, more of the socket is engaged, reducing stress on the tool and the plug hex.
Extremely strong retention on the 3/8" square drive. Extensions will not accidentally release, leaving the socket behind.
Available in Charcoal Black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon),Gold TiN (Titanium Nitride) or **Iridescent DLC coatings. The Iridescent coating is one of the hardest and slickest coatings in existence @ >6600 Vickers (65 GPa) hardness. Uncoated sockets are available, but not recommended - bare Titanium is less wear resistant than Steel. **IRIDESCENT DLC colors vary greatly - the sockets may be predominantly green, pink or yellow at random.

Incredibly lightweight at 30 g. Half the mass of a normal tool - there's no better plug socket for a lightweight toolkit.
100% non-magnetic. This allows for much easier guidance onto and off of the spark plug. Finely tuned plug retention system.
