The Snap On one? I think those are discontinued now…I might give up 1/2 of a liver for one.

I don’t remember what it is. I’ll have to look which one it is
Left to right:
Koken 3771Z universal
Koken 20.8mm spark plug wrench, clip retention
Old Snap-On 13/16” (20.6mm) spark plug wrench, clip retention
Old New Britain 5/8” spark plug socket w/universal, magnetic retention
Old NAPA 13/16’ spark plug socket w/universal, magnetic retention
I pretty much use the New Britain by default. All shown for height comparison. The universal shown because maybe somebody doesn’t know about the low-height Z series.
What makes an old Snap-On liver-worthy?

I've been using the 1/4" to pull the coil hold-down screws on my Ford 4.6
What occurred to me is how remarkably small the OD is compared to the other 1/4" swivel adapters I have, which are Matco and SK I think
Does Koken also offer just a "normal" non-double swivel that maintains similar dimensions?.....because these are hardly any larger around than an extension. It makes a BIG difference when your swivel wants to occupy the same space as your fuel rail (in my case) but you need a small bit of angularity.

Though, wouldn’t it be more compact to use a 1/4” chrome swivel socket?
Just a pedestrian matco one it’s black also have a Mac that is fixed to an extension. That one (the Mac) I used tons 20 years ago on certain vehicles
