I found this on the harbor freight website. Has anybody used it? 4.99 versus 56.99. I think the Harbor freight one will be my choice

I'm not sure at all why anyone would feel a need to spend $50+ on a spark plug socket. When I change mine I use a socket thats probably 10 years old and maybe cost $10 at the time. The only thing I would want to make sure of, and you can check this out ahead of tme - is to make the sure the rubber/foam type "insert" that's inside the spark plug socket does not come off when you take the socket off the plug. The plugs sit down there pretty deep - and if an insert sticks onto a plug when you pull the socket off - I'd guess it'll take some work to get at it and get it out. I've also never taped sockets to drive extensions or anything like that either (certainly doesn't hurt to do it) - but I do make sure that my drive extensions sufficiently "latch" onto each other and/or the ratchet and don't just fall off when in a vertcal position.
