This was first made back in the 1990s to suit deep seated plugs. I prefer this to the VAG plug spanner because it has no flexible joint! I believe I will thus find it easier to sit the plug vertically in the threads!
ah this reminds me of the time I was building up my caby 16v engine, just put on the rocker cover with fresh gaskets. I used my trusty spark plug tool with ratchet extension combo to tighten plug #1 without issue, and when I removed the ratchet extension the socket stayed in the plug hole in the end rocker cover had to come off again, the gasket was a bit thicker than most around the plug holes and had gripped the socket. Now I always use tape to hold the socket to the extension
