All the sockets and socket sets I sell  are of professional quality,if a socket fails in normal use,send it back and I'll replace it, simples.
The sizes of spark plug sockets (10,14 mm etc) or colortunes and adaptors etc refer to the diameter of the thread not the size of the spanner needed on it.For a 10mm plug the spanner would be 16mm or 5/8 inch af,for 14mm it would be 13/16 inch af (approx 21mm).Some older spark plug sockets and box spanners might carry the older imperial markings.
Sockets for injectors on diesel or petrol engines are normally sized 'across flats'.(22,27 or 28mm being common) Some injector and sensor sockets have a 'window' in the side to avoid damage to wires etc and some injectors need a crowfoot spanner to remove them, I stock a range of these.Modern sockets are often referred to as 'flank drive','hi torq','wall drive' etc these are configurations designed to turn the nut or bolt without pressure on the extreme edges of the hex,they are more efficient on rusted or worn fastenings than the older straight sided sockets.Some deeply recessed nuts are best removed with box spanners.
 
This is a selection of the specialised sockets I have,stock changes too quickly for a complete list,please e-mail or phone for latest offers on hub,injector or ball joint sockets etc.
