My favorite part was him not telling his life story for 20 minutes before telling us how to do something that takes 2 minutes. This is why he has 10M followers, because he doesn't f-around trying to chase the YT Algorithm like all these ridiculous influencers.

Rare time where the first thing I click on is 100% what I am looking for. Thanks for the video

Thank you again! This is why I always check with you first: I’ve always gapped my spark plugs by forcing the wedge in. I honestly thought the hole on the round tool was just for hanging it up, so tonight for the first time in my life I gapped my spark plugs correctly. Awesome!

I always wondered what that round thing was as a kid. My father had one on his keychain for decades.

I take care of my parent's yard and I've used the lawn mower so much it's starting to give me issues. Never thought I'd be learning about spark plugs. Thanks for showing us how to use that tool! Made it very easy to understand.

[justinjaruzel]

Exactly what i was looking for. First timer changing spark plugs and you made it look a lot easier than i thought it was!

[comedianmusicianman]

I didn't know you could use that tool to adjust the plug I thought it was strictly measurement. Thanks for the great videos Chris, keep them coming! I've been watching all of them just to see what I can learn, and you always have something I didn't know, even in some of the easier projects.

I’ve done this many times through out the years. I just wanted to see how you did it. Thanks, to the point. Your videos are excellent.

Aha! There's more to the gapping tool than meets the eye. I can't believe that in all my years of hobby mechanics, going on 24 years, no one has ever showed me this. I knew that a gapping tool measured the gap of spark plugs but never had i seen how to use one to adjust the gap. So simple.

Thank you for this post!! You got RIGHT TO THE POINT!! Watched 4 other "How to change a spark plug" to get a refresher course (it's been 30 years since I did that) and the other 4 merely edited out the gapping part. They actually edited out a lot! SMH

Chris Fix's Spark Plug Gap tutorial is the best tutorial ever! Speech not too fast not too slow. Chris covered ALL information and he didn't worry if he didn't know the correct name for something as we all got it! Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone here was a Chris Fix?

[crotchetyolcoot]

Simple, brief, and to the point! Very good.

Just gapped my spark plugs for my bike this riding season, the first time i've ever done it myself and im psyched to install them now, THANKS CHRIS!

[billypothier]

I would just like to thank this person this is the first time I've actually looked a problem and I was told exactly what I wanted to know the first time

11yrs ago you had no idea you'd be helping me learn this shit. I appreciate you after all this time bro.

[ResidenceRescueLLC]

Yo, you might not see my comment but you and"Eric The Car Guy" are my go to people. Every time I get stuck on something, your the first tutorial on YouTube that pops up. 👌👌👌

[cookeemon]
