It's to remove/install spark plugs.

Thanks - what's the purpose of the spring? Correct torque?

Suspect it's to allow easier access/engagement of the 3/8 drive ratchet.

Has nothing to do with torque.

I think the spring just stabilizes it.

Use the 10mm allen key in the toolkit with it (if you didn't figure that out yet).

Best tool in the kit! Makes changing the plugs very easy. Good luck. Steve

That and the fan holding tool are the only two tools you use from the kit

Now I remember. 10mm, not 3/8.

That one is in the best condition that I've seen. Mine look ancient, compared to yours!

Nikos--where are you located. I'm in Hammond and could help. Don't sell that perhaps the best tool you have.
