HI!... I have a bunch of buddies that use those at the track all the time. Good tool. I'm thinking of picking up a set myself.

I bought a pair years ago and didn't like them. Never felt secure in their usage.

They work great on the old style plugs, with the full size center electrode. They do not work very good on the new type plugs, with a wire for a center electrode. Artie

They WILL break the electrode off of the wire style plugs.
