Have you ever installed your spark plugs, then tried to pull the socket out, and it stayed on the plug down in the tube? The craftsman spark plug socket I used before had the rubber insert to hold the plug into the socket. Problem was, it held on to the plug soooo tight, the extension would pull out of the socket, leaving it on the plug inside the tube. I found a tool that makes spark plug install a breeze. It's a Gear Wrench Magnetic spark plug socket, with 6" swivel extension Part #10546. I got the tool from Advance auto parts for $10.49, and it works great even on the rear bank of the V6 engine. The torque wrench is also a good idea, because you don't want the plugs too tight, or too loose (13ftlbs) Picture below

For the last 30 years, I've always used a locking extension on my sockets when doing spark plugs. But it wasn't a mere $10
