14mm mate and that also depends on what ratchet you want to use e.g. 3/8 drive or 1/2 drive which is the bigger of the two.

I've got a magnetic one I think by draper, makes life easier to replace plugs that are deep seated as they can't fall out of the socket and there's no rubber insert to get left behind on the plug as can happen with the normal ones.

Rubber only falls out if you use it when plugs are hot but not usually immediately  :happy2: only when constantly using it on hot engines that is.
