The best tool to safely start and remove sparkplugs is a six to eight inch lenght of old air hose or heavy walled vacuum hose. Just push it over the plug far enough to hold and use the hose to thread the plug in until it slips. I only use socket to torque and to break torque. Impossible to cross thread and saves burnt hands ond fingers on hot exaust manifolds. Also makes it easy to remove hot plugs without dropping. It has been an essential part of my toolbox for twenty five years now----ever since I had that sick feeling that is so fimilar to some of us.
