Default Great Socket Set

I bought a Kobalt Thru-Socket Set at Lowes and it works great in tight areas. Especially in areas I thought they wouldn't help. It was about $60, it seems to make some things easier than a normal socket set. Don't know where this thread belongs but I'll post it anyway.

I've had a kobalt set since 1999, haven't broken anything in it yet. There is a forum called tools and fabrication: https://ls1tech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=11

I have some of the ratcheting wrenches, but socket wrenches just feel better to me.

Do these make spark-plug changes easier?? I'm ripping my knuckles apart on plugs 2,4,6 and especially 8!
