Lol... posting this as a reply to a 'testing' thread in the signature forum was not the most likely place for it to get an answer. Let's try here.

It depends on the spark plug brand generally there are 4 starndard sizes of spark plugs.

5/8 in, 13/16 in, 3/4 in, and 18mm

Ive been owned by google there are 5 sizes
9/16 is the last one.

Yup. Used on late-model Ford F 150s. Now, really, do we need 5 different spark plug external sizes? I'm thinkin' conspiracy....
