Versatile Plug wrench

[Need to replace Plug].
For plug replacement, according to the Manufacturer, the standard replacement distance for normal plugs is 3,000 to 5,000 km.
It may seem early, but at least in PlugManufacturer's opinion, it is not a part that should be used for 10,000 km or 20,000 km.
Therefore, the frequency of replacement is considered to be relatively high for consumables with the same replacement cycle of oil, etc.

Plug wrench
Plug wrench is indispensable to connect and disconnect the spark plug when replacing it. 。 May be included in the on-board tools, but can be purchased separately 。
Different engines are equipped with different plugs, and each plug has a different screw diameter and a different hexagonal wrench.

In my case, since I own several motorcycles, each plug has a different screw diameter, so I need to have one for each. 、、、、、
It is Large strange to have each of them, so I bought this 3-wayType Plug wrench.

Motorcycle plugs are often designed with a screw diameter of 16 to 21mm, which means that you only need one large half-size plug.

Details of this product
■Short (Length:73mm)
Size
B Type(Hexagon Width across Flats):20.8mm)→SR400
D Type (Hexagonal diagonal:18.0mm)
C Type (Hexagonal diagonal:16.0mm) →CUB

However, if you use a water-cooled 4-stroke engine with a compact design and a deep plug hole, a Wrench with a thick socket may not be able to reach the plug due to interference. GSX-R125 is a water-cooled DOHC engine, so it is not long enough to be used here.
It is necessary to check the inner diameter of the plug hole and the outer diameter of the socket.

How to exchange Plugs.
1・When installing a new Plug, turn it with your finger until it hangs firmly on the Screw threads.
2・When you cannot turn the plug wrench with your fingers, use the RubberTube or a special tool.
*Over-tightening and over-loosening are also discouraged.
*If gravel or dust accumulates around the plug, remove it by scrubbing with an air blower or brush, regardless of whether it is water-cooled or air-cooled. Failure to do so will loosen the Plug, and if water flows into the combustion chamber or gravel clogs the Plug hole, extra labor will be required to remove them.
It is important to understand that performing one step before the work is done will result in time savings.

good point
The system can be used for most types of vehicles, so it is safe to use only one.

Low price. 800 yen or less for this function, I think it is a good cost performance.

Disadvantage
Plug holes with narrower plug holes, such as water-cooled and DOHC, cannot be accommodated.


Even with the widespread use of fuel injection and Digital control of the ignition system, the spark plug is still one of the most important components of the Gasoline engine.
Since the screw diameter and the dimension of the opposite side of the hexagonal part on which the wrench hangs differ depending on the plug, you must obtain a wrench that is compatible with your car.
It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to have each of them, but I think it is attractive to be able to have them all in one package.
We would like to recommend to those who have more than one car and those who are going to replace or increase their cars.
