Re: Magnetize any socket/wrench $4
today they invented magnetized socket wrench,tomorrow magnetic engine that uses Earths magnetic field for fuel lol

Re: Magnetize any socket/wrench $4
My spark plugs and header tubes are so tight that I have to use a spark plug socket with a wrench on the end of it to loosen and tighten the spark plugs but need a rubber hose to actually put them in and take them out. There's only one spark plug that I can use a ratchet on.
If you but a proper spark plug socket, it has a rubber seal inside it to hold the spark plug. No magnet required.

My favorite Snap On spark plug socket has a magnetic insert built in that holds the plug.
