BUT your point is VALID - Take some responsibility - Check them before you install them

OK, so a question from a guy in the process of installing Denso IT-22's right now... If there is a "special tool" for gapping Denso plugs will someone kindly tell us beginners what it is? I have not installed any of the new plugs yet, still getting stock ones out a little at a time.

Gap checking tools include an attached tool that is used to carefully form the ground electrode up or down as appropriate. Never let anything touch the center electrode--except the gap-checking piece. Never use a 'feeler-type' gauge to check plug gaps.
If you drop a spark plug(any type), do not install it! Throw it away and save yourself future(maybe immediate?) grief.
