Spark plug tool for LT1w/ headers
I picked this up yesterday and it works great. Easiest tool I have found to get on the plug and has the best clearance. The latest mailer I got has it on sale for $19.95 and is less than $16 with the 20% coupon.

Looks like a definite knuckle-saver. Thanks. I've got a 20% off coupon for Harbor Freight Tools in my wallet, too.

I like the go thru design, I may just pick up a set myself...I have so many Harbor Freight coupons lying around.
Personally, I use a Craftsman 3/8 drive with flex head and long handle.
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...5&blockType=G5 It gets the job done with no knuckle busting, its like my favorite tool. Before I got it, I had to use a regular size 3/8 drive, a t-handle speedwrench and load of extensions.

- most of my "occasional use" tools come from HF - 20% off coupons are all over the place. i recently bought a metric service wrench set for $25 out the door just because i needed a 27mm to remove the oil pressure sensor. it would have cost me that to get a single snap-on wrench.

After I installed TPiS headers on my 85 straight plug heads, I could not get a spark plug socket on a few of the plugs. I ended buying a spark plug socket with a hex end for an open end wrench. Then I shortened the socket about a 1/4 inch and slotted a side wide enough to slip over the plug. There's just enough room to get a shorty open end wrench on the socket. I can now change plugs just as fast as the stock setup.

the wheels on my 2008 C6 are stamped "made in taiwan" - go figure... gm doesn't seem to have a problem using frickin' chinese parts, yet i sense you seem to have issues with me buying a chinese wrench -
- now this, i don't get...there's probably is a best buy within a stones throw of those closed plants selling all that foreign made $hit too - them ba$tards!
