Default Spark Plug Removal Tool

HI Guys

Anyone tell em if this tool would make my life easier when changing the plugs - or am I better off using a combination of sockets & extensions??

The easiest thing is to remove the windscreen washer bottle and battery from one side and the airbox from the other and then use a selection of extension bars..

Thats what i did and it was quite easy in the end, looks like a harder job than it actaully is.

From what I've read in the past you'd be better with a selection of extensions. Gonna do this soon myself aswell, let me know how you get on
