Default Anyone have a short spark plug socket?
Looking to see if anyone has that short spark plug socket (like the Craftsman one SLP sells) they would be willing to sell or can I just find it at Sears?

Made mine using an existing craftsman socket. Remove the rubber grommet and cut the socket down. I use the bolstered end of the socket with a 3/4 ratcheting wrench. Works good in tight spaces.

I found that a short extension like 3/4" was all I needed. Got it in a Harbor Freight multi pack.

I made my dad one for fathers day. Except I'm the only one who ever uses it.

These little adapters work great in tight spots. You can also use a thin end wrench with them.
