I'm looking for a spark plug gapping tool. I want to purchase one that is in the form of a set of pliers. Basically you set the spark plug into the tool and dial in the proper gap and then squeeze the handles.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for this tool?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Jason

I bought one of those before. An expensive one from Summit. I made these discoveries:

-> Push to ******* the handles and it will damage the center electrode. Trashed plug instantly.

-> The gap "scale" on the thing is useless. Will need calibration against feeler gauge.

-> After a stack of plugs and 1 hour or so I threw it away. I continue to use my $5.00 wire gapper.

WOW! Expensive piece of @#$%!!

Looks like a very well thought out and engineered tool and would make things much easier but I guess not.

Thanks for the heads up Dave! :2tu:

Autozone gave me a free plug gapper wheel thingy that I think costs 99 cents. It works.

Actually, I lied. I stuck it in a box which is quite strangely here in my office at work.

PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

Dave said it all

Just use a wire gauge gaper and you will be just fine
