IN CAR TOOL KIT

Plug socket on a speedbrace is the only way........ Why do folks want to carry Metric spanners when there isn't a Metric nut or bolt on the car ? I assume it must be to assist broken down 'moderns' they find on their travels ?

I notice that on Fleabay and other tool suppliers it is still easy to purchase Imperial spanners, ring/open ended combo. I spose I could go this way too, but that would be of no help to other drivers who are broken down in a 'modern'. I use the hammer exclusively for the Moggy!

Spark plug removers are a great tool ... I prefer them to plug sockets as it makes it harder to over-tighten the plugs!

Thankyou for concurring and reinforcing my veiw that plug sockets are of no use, and that spark plug removers are the way to go.

You won't overtighten a spark plug with the proper (rubber lined) plug socket on a speed brace...much easier/faster than fiddling about with a silly 'spark plug tool'....
