LS1 Spark Plug Tool w/ Ratchet

well one of the main problems of the 8th plug is breaking it loose. this says this tool is not meant for breaking the plugs loose. once a plug is broken loose, you can basically almost use your hands to unscrew it. so i dont know how usefull this tool would be.

I use a normal spark plug socket with a 3/4" socket (3/8 drive) taped on its end, then a 1/4" drive to 3/8" adapter also taped on. Its odd looking indeed, but the 1/4" drive ratcher allows for much more room, and it is strong enough to break the plugs loose.
