Re: Spark plug socket

[Tbag <tbagtim@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted a socket I could use with a torque wrench too
so I found an old grotty socket that was a close fit
to the inside of the one in the stock toolkit, mixed
up some JB-Weld and hammered it down in the middle
about halfway.

Result: what looks like the stock tool outside has a
crafty 1/4" drive you can reach on the inside with an
extension.

Cheers!
