If you don't market it, I will.
lol, dont have the resources to make the tool well. Like i said i kinda put it together from old tools lying around. Not to mention the customer base is pretty limited.

However, there is a guy on ebay selling something similiar.

Just wish it was a 12 point socket which would add even more flexibility.

I still dont understand why you need to go to the bottom, there is plenty of access through the top.

I just changed my plugs on sat and it took about 30-40 min for all of them. that includes the one that tok 5 min just to get the darn spark plug socket off the sparkplug. I also do not have ac so that might make it a bit easier.

I can do them all in about 30 min. I made a tool. Took a standard size socket (5/8ths ? forget what they are). Drilled out the place where the ratchet normally attaches so that it can slide over the plug totally. Then welded an old open end wrench the the end of it and bent it a tad. Works like a charm.

Can you post or send me a picture of the tool is it exactly like the guys from ebay or does yours have the wrench on it.

Mine is just like the guys on ebay, except i welded an open end wrench onto it to use as a handle. His you have to slide the wrench over the end.

"Gutted" is such a harsh term... I prefer "streamlined"
