Default RE: Guys what's the best glow plug wrench can i buy with around 20 bucks ?

I found in a computer tool kit.. the handiest little thing every.

It's about the size of a pen, and has a push button on the top. When you press it down, three wire claws extend down and out. When you release, it's got a pretty heavy duty spring (for it's size) and the claws retract grabbing whatever. I can get a few full turns out of a glow plug before the claws slip. But by then, my plug is seated 2 or 3 threads in, and isn't going anywhere. Works great for awkward screws as well, as long as it's metal to metal for a few threads.

Might want to try peaking at a computer store to see if they have any. The full kit was like..15 bucks, so if you can find it on it's own, it can't be more than 3 or 4.
