Hi, does anyone have suggestions for an alternative spark plug socket wrench than the official one? Something quick, easy and cheaper to get hold of?
The official one being this:

Many thanks,
Scott.

Useful looking tool and Hazet stuff is usually good, nice find!

I have one of these. I like the fact that you can use it with 3/8" sq drive and it has the knurled end for hand turning.
From memory though it wasn't much cheaper than the Design911 offering.

The Hazet is £42 via Amazon.
I paid under a tenner when Amazon had it on discount years ago.

Worth the money imho, give that bit of wriggle needed.
I paid £3 for mine at an early 90's Husborne Crawley autojumble!

Or a normal spark plug socket taped to two 1/2” drive UJs. Works a treat.
Just need to make sure the parts are secured to each other tomorrow avoid embarrassing socket loss

Thank you all, looks like the The Hazet is the way to go! Appreciate that Sladey. The car has sat (garaged) for a couple of months as I've been away, started up but then I stalled it, after that it didn't want to fire up, so thinking I best check the plugs, they have not been changed for a very long time.

Autodoc might be a little cheaper if you have the app. They do some Hazet stuff, worth a check, it will be slower delivery though.

Almost doubled in price, since I bgt mine, but a tool well worth having.
