Default checking plugs...cutting off question

alot of people say to cut the threads, while others say to get one of those things dr.'s use to look in your ears...does it really matter?

2ndly what does everyone use to quickly cut the threads?

3rd for you street car guys when your checking plugs at the track and click it off...how are you guys towing the car back to the lanes?...I know everyone doesn't have a damn pit vehicle...do they?

If your stuck without a pit vehicle you going to have to pull a plug on the return road, and throw another in to get back to the pits. Or be very nice to your fellow racers with a pit vehicle and maybe there give you a tow back.

To cut them the best thing is a 18V battery dewalt angle grinder with a cuttof wheel. The cuttof wheet will cuit the metal but not the porc. takes 20 seconds to do.
