Default Magnetic Spark Plug socket w/ Swivel

Public Service Announcement:

All the write ups and videos i've seen talk about spark plug sockets with rubber grommets inside to hold the plug.

I've been using a magnetic socket like this: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

Works like a charm, the swivel is very helpful and the magnet holds "just right".

Figured id share what works for me as many here like to wrench on their own cars.

Note: I'm in no way affiliated with Advanced or Gear Wrench

Magnetic sparkplug sockets are awesome!
I’ve been thinking about getting one with a permanent swivel extension attached.
Currently I just use electrical tape to keep keep a u-joint or extension attached to the socket.
I have very deep magnetic sockets that I use for some cars.

They're nice, I've been using one for hard to reach plugs for years.
