Question 1

What is the SATA ST13918SC Spark Plug Socket and what is it designed for?

Accepted Answer

The SATA ST13918SC is a 1/2" drive, deep 13/16" spark plug socket.

Question 5

Which vehicles or engines is this socket compatible with?

Accepted Answer

This socket is suitable for many gasoline engines that use recessed spark plugs of 13/16" size. It’s not universal for all vehicles, so check your plug size and the reach needed before use.

Question 6

How do I use this socket with a ratchet or torque wrench?

Accepted Answer

Steps: (1) Attach the socket to a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. (2) Align with the spark plug squarely to avoid cams or gaskets. (3) Apply steady, controlled torque to loosen or tighten. (4) If needed, use a small extension for better reach. (5) Re-torque to manufacturer specifications when reinstalling.

Question 7

What maintenance tips help extend the life of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Clean after use to remove oil and debris, dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion, and wipe with a light coat of oil if stored for long periods. Avoid using overly aggressive impacts that could deform the socket or affect fit.

Question 8

Is this socket safe to use with impact tools?

Accepted Answer

It’s best used with hand tools or torque wrenches. While chrome-vanadium sockets are sturdy, heavy impact use can increase wear or cause damage. If you must use an impact tool, follow the manufacturer’s guidance and inspect the socket for damage afterward.

Question 9

How does this socket compare to other spark plug sockets on Fepy.com?

Accepted Answer

If you’re deciding between sizes, consider the plug size you’re working with. For a 5/8" plug, you might look at a 1/2" drive spark plug socket in a 5/8" size; for 21mm (roughly 13/16"), you can compare similar depth sockets. Examples on Fepy.com include: 1) SATA ST13916SC 1/2" Drive Spark Plug Socket 5-8 (URL: https://fepy.com/products/sata-st13916sc-1-2-drive-spark-plug-socket-5-8) 2) SATA ST13920SC 1/2" Drive Spark Plug Socket 21mm (URL: https://fepy.com/products/sata-st13920sc-1-2-drive-spark-plug-socket-21mm)

Question 10

How can I identify the correct spark plug socket size for my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Check the service manual for your vehicle’s spark plug size or measure the plug hex with a caliper. Look for the size stamped on the socket itself and confirm it matches the plug size. Using the wrong size can damage the plug or the socket.

Question 11

What comes with this product—is it a standalone socket or part of a set?

Accepted Answer

This listing specifies a standalone spark plug socket. If you need a set, search for compatible spark plug socket sets on Fepy.com that include this size alongside other common plug sizes.
