Spark plug wench

[The Prophet of Doom]

Somehow I have lost my spark plug wrench.
I bought a new one ata ridiculous price, but it's waaay too long.  What's the ideal length to cut it down to?

The one in my Yamaha tool kit measures 3 and 3/4inches.  (95mm)  BDC

I just use a standard 18mm deep socket with a 3/8" drive.  I know it doesn't have the rubber grommet that will hold the spark plug, but you can thread/unthread the plug by hand and use the socket to tighten/loosen it.  It's not as cramped as when you are trying to work on a modern V6 FWD american car and the firewall is a mere inch or two away.

And it is cheaper and easier to find and fits into the recess very well with no mods.

ace Hardware has one that is a twin for the original. look in the lawn & garden secttion.

I saw the title "Spark plug WENCH" and saw roro's avatar and thought, "Wow, thats a hot chick!"  Full of spark!  :-)
