if you are not brand conscious, you can get at Mustafa. I got a full set of socket ratchet set for $5.

Unlikely because these sockets are the shallow type.

bro best is to observe the tools the mechanic use do basic servicing for your bike such as changing of EO and spark plug. The important thing about tools is to find the right size of tools for the bolts and screws of your bike parts. There are a lot of different types of tools for different purposes. So slowly build up your toolset. Just FYI a recommended brand of tools that I'm using and I observed the mechanics are also using are Stanley tools.

Bro, the tool kit that came with your bike should have the basic tools including the spark plug socket. You don’t like the tool kit?

i agree that those tool kit that comes with the bike is usually very low quality, and they don't usually do a good job.

 

I am using a spanner socket as my spark plug tool. You would need to get the long type and you can buy them individually at most hardware shops along Jln Bersah. It fits much better, and with the ratchet, the job get done more expeditiously and more importantly, I look more professional

 

However, you would need to check if the engine block allows that access as the body of these spanner socket are much thicker than those stock spark plug tool.

You can bring a normal deep wall socket to a machine shop and ask them to trim it down like the left one in the photo.

I use a magnetic thin wall spark plug socket (the right one). The magnet insert will hold the spark plug when you retrieve it from the spark plug well.

The diameter of the socket is only 20mm for a 16mm size socket, smaller than the spark plug socket that came with my bike

haha, think will ask the mechs where they get their tools from. then maybe from there can go n buy myself

[KeraKing]

so far the spark plugs on my bikes can be removed using normal spanners

[notsureifitroll]

My Honda bike is one of those which is deep tunnel, so have to get this deep spark plug socket wrench from "FJT Parts and Accessories Pte Ltd" at 15 Rowell Road.

 

 

For Honda bike owners, go check out FJT, they are official parts distributor for Honda and is pretty familiar with everything.
