Perfect! Just what I needed, my Denso plugs for my 2012 Optima SX were gapped too narrow, and by watching how you bent the bar in shape with some needle nose pliers gave me exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!

Thank you. I got iridium plugs. I watched other vids with normal plugs... lucky I see this as I didn't know the difference of the brittle nibs with iridium....you saved me ruining my plugs. Thank you again

Nice clean cut informative video. Something I just learned is that you can use the first plug gap tool to widen the gap without risking damaging the electrode. The hole in the center of that tool is apparently there to do that and not a keyring hole. You simply slide the ground electrode though the hole and pry it up while leveraging against the ground electrode itself. The more you know 😮

Great video. I changed the spark plugs on a ‘10 Ford Edge 3.5 and went with NGK Iridium IX’s. Used a feeler gauge to check, and a pair of Snap-On Talon Grip needle nose to increase the gap.

I used one of those circle wedges. I didn't break any electrodes off, but I did notice it would be very easy to break them.

For opening or increasing the GAP u can use the same COIN with the Hole safely, no problem in it if u r using this in a correct way that applying pressure on the coin Downwards and the most of the part of the coin is outer side and towards you

Thank you. I’m putting Iridium plugs in my BMW. I would have gapped them the old way and probably ruined them.

Great video, thanks for sharing. what iridium spark plug are you using on your 914 engine. I have a 914 2.0l and I'm not sure witch plug to use, BPR6-7? so many choices. I looked on 914 Rubber, and nothing. Thank you Ian.

Thanks. Can the sliding action of the feeler gauge damage the coating on the center electrode at all?

The wedge on a coin tool is not used to create the gap, it's used to measure. The coin is the perfect tool to measure and open the gap when used correctly.
