Spark plug socket rounded out

[BIGRED400]

My sparkplug socket that came with the tool-kit rounded out (sheetmetal) .Who sells a good one that'll fit in that tight hole???

Mine did the same. They are very cheap quality. Any ideas?

A chrome, Craftsman 18mm deep socket is the ticket;)

As for torque, my wrench bent when I tried taking the stock spark plug out for the first time. Quarter turn past finger tight is how I put them in.
