Socket for Spark Plugs Proxxon 19 mm 1/2" Magnetic PR23395

Proxxon Socket for Spark Plugs 19 mm 1/2" Magnetic PR23395 is a dedicated tool designed for safe removal and installation of spark plugs. The socket features a 19 mm internal size and a 1/2" drive interface for use with compatible ratchets and torque wrenches. A built-in magnetic insert secures the spark plug during handling to reduce the risk of dropping and damage while working in confined engine bays.

Advantages

The magnetic insert holds spark plugs firmly, allowing one-handed extraction and placement without loss of grip. A standardized 1/2" drive makes the socket compatible with commonly used hand tools, while the 19 mm profile matches many standard spark plug dimensions. The socket is engineered for stable engagement and controlled torque transfer to reduce rounding of the hex and to protect the plug ceramic and electrode during service.

Suitable for

• Removal and installation of 19 mm spark plugs in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches
• Engine maintenance tasks performed in tight or recessed spark plug wells

Key specifications

• Socket size: 19 mm
• Drive type: 1/2"
• Magnetic insert for secure plug retention
• Designed for hand tool torque transfer and stable hex engagement

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Place the magnetic end over the spark plug and turn counterclockwise to loosen and remove the plug; the magnet will hold the plug as it is withdrawn. For installation, position the spark plug in the socket, carefully thread it into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the manufacturer’s specified torque using a torque wrench.

Usage recommendations

Before use, confirm the spark plug gap and manufacturer torque specification for the engine. Use hand-start threading to avoid cross-threading and verify the magnetic insert is clean and free of debris to ensure reliable retention. Do not use the socket on damaged or rounded plug hexes to prevent further damage.
