w Ordered directly from Koken USA. Showed up on my doorstep 4 days later. Can confirm, they fit my 5/8" plugs perfectly. And the spring clip feature is sweet. Ko-ken 3300C.250-16 | 3/8" Sq. Drive Spark Plug Sockets with Spring Clips

Thanks Dave. Hence why I contacted Koken for further insight, and surprised they couldn't tell me for sure. But first hand user experience is as good as it gets, so thanks for confirming.

Yes, perfect, much appreciated. Will go ahead then and order the Koken. I like the clips feature, and the extended length.

Ah, perfect info, thanks. Is the Koken 16mm slightly loose on the plug? Would a 5/8" socket (Matco, SO, etc) fit better?

Thanks. I contacted Koken USA, but even they could not give me a straight answer as to whether their 16mm socket would fit tight or with some slop on a 5/8" plug.

Looking to pick up a spark plug socket for the first time. Question on sizing. My spark plugs (NGK) are 5/8". Ok to use a socket that is 16mm for these, or should I stick with a 5/8" one. I like the looks of the koken, but they are only 16mm. I tried a regular socket over a new spark plug. 5/8"...

Here is a pic of the beast in question. Worth the effort to get new wiring installed?

thanks- best option likely get a dedicated outlet wired appropriately. Fuse box already in the garage, so should be straightforward.

yah, its definitely the 5-20 120v 20A plug at the end of it.

so what would that require? easy job to have an electrician come in and do this? big job, little job? thanks

yes, one blade is horizontal.

its a 960-250, on a stand.

yeah, its got the 90 degree orientation of the flat blades in the plug. i dont have an outlet for that, so dont think this is going to work.

Looking to potentially buy a used Burr-king 960 for home use. It is two wheel, 1.5hp 1ph motor, 120v. Does anyone know if this will work in my garage? I dont have any special electrical outlets. Just dont want to purchase this, if it will draw too much power and blow fuses or trip my breaker...

anyone happen to have or come across a lock-down handle assembly from an Athol vise, please let me know. Many thanks
