Expert By Facom Specialist Sockets at Tooled-Up.com

Expert By Facom Specialist Sockets are built for the jobs a standard socket set can't handle: pulling spark plugs from deep cylinder head recesses, draining sumps, freeing glow plugs and removing alternator pulleys. Tooled-Up.com stocks 1/2" and 3/8" drive spark plug sockets in metric sizes, square and triangle oil drain plug sockets, a 6 piece 3/8" drive glow plug socket set and a 13 piece 1/2" drive alternator pulley and removal socket set.

Each socket is made for one specific task, so it engages the fastener properly and cuts the risk of damaged plugs, rounded drain bolts or wasted time on engine servicing.

Key Features of Expert By Facom Specialist Sockets

• ISO 11168 conformity: the spark plug sockets meet this international standard for quality and dimensional accuracy, so they fit plugs accurately.
• 1/2" and 3/8" drive options: both sizes work with standard ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches. The 3/8" drive suits tighter engine bays, while the 1/2" drive suits jobs needing more leverage.
• Dedicated drain plug profiles: square and triangle sockets fit those fastener types directly, avoiding the slipping and rounding that come from using the wrong tool.
• Glow plug set: the 6 piece 3/8" drive set covers a range of diesel glow plug fittings in one kit, which is handy for diesel servicing.
• Alternator pulley set: the 13 piece 1/2" drive set helps with pulley removal and refitting without improvised tools that can damage the component.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which drive size should I choose for spark plug removal?

Choose 3/8" drive for compact engine bays and lighter-handed work. Choose 1/2" drive if you want more leverage or plan to use a torque wrench designed for that drive size. Check the plug's hex size against the socket before ordering.

Why use a dedicated oil drain plug socket?

Square and triangle drain plugs are easily rounded by pliers or ill-fitting tools. A matching Expert By Facom socket grips the full fastener, helping you remove and refit it cleanly. Shop Expert By Facom Specialist Sockets at Tooled-Up.com to match the socket to your vehicle.

What does the alternator pulley socket set do?

It gives you the fittings needed to hold and release alternator pulleys, so you can remove them without damaging the shaft or pulley. It's a practical choice for anyone replacing alternators or servicing drive components.
