Spark plug starter tool or extension?

[spasm3]

I try to start them with my fingers, if not enough reach, i use a plug socket by hand. When using the socket, i try to turn it slowly backwards until i feel the threads click. Then i turn forward and go at least 2 turns by hand.

I've tried the fuel line, but i have more trouble getting the plug straight with the threads.

I don't like heater hose because it has a bit of a curl from being on the reel.

When I get my plug started via socket and 6-inch extension, I very very gently rock the end of the extension up and down, left and right, to get a feel that I'm properly centered. There's a touch to it. Then I monitor my running torque the rest of the way. A stubby ratchet is good for this-- more swing room and less torque applied.

Gear wrench magnetic spark plug socket works great
