Spark plug socket size

I wanna check my plug gaps and I'm pretty sure when I changed my plaugs I had to borrow a socket. Anyone know what size spark plug socket i need so i can get one from halfords.

Tool manufacturers classify SPARK PLUG spanners by the size of thread rather than the size of the hex nut. For 10mm assume a hex size of 16mm.

Go into halfords and get a 10mm SPARK PLUG SOCKET and it will fit
