"nifty" spark plug tool?
 

I viewed a previous thread that showed a picture of a odd spark plug socket that came with porsche originally. Can you find them at any local parts stores? Everyone, on thread, said makes job much easier.

it's a porsche tool. likely built by klien. try the classifieds, swap-meets, ebay. ..

I use an old solid piece Klein socket that works perfectly, but here's a thread relating to a modern style that is available new online.

Snap-On makes a nice spark plug socket that also has a "ball-end" extension. It's nice and my father used it for years on the 911 before I got it.

I'll see if I can fins a pic online. If not, I'll go shoot a pic of the tool myself.

I use one of those 2005 pieces of heater hose. I'm not getting my original socket from my tool kit dirty. ;-)

BTW, if you go to Europe, these spark plug tools are for sale cheap in just about every gas station and truck stop in Germany.
