More importantly, the sockets stick on to the bolt head when you're tightening. This is a big problem for me and a cause of much frustration. Imagine a socket getting stuck down in your engine after you tighten your spark plug! I'm glad I didn't try it for spark plug repairs at first and I don't think I ever will! To get the socket loose from surface bolts i had to keep knocking the socket. There's no way you're going to be able to do that when the socket is down in the spark plug whole. The next issue i have is that the rachet arm does not stay in position. So when I open the kit it always falls out. There is a file in the kit that I took out once and up to now i can't get it back in the space in the kit. I fear if i use any more force i might break it.
