## ⚙️ Key Features

-   43 applications across AQ, BB, DP, SP and MS series units
-   0.138 kg
-   One of only two tools here with a published fitment list
-   Same weight as unnamed tools 884714 and 884823

## 🔌 Function

Fits over the spark plug hex and reaches down the plug recess so the plug can be turned without loading it sideways.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Hex rounding off so it slips on the plug
-   Plug retainer or grommet perished, dropping the plug in the recess
-   Body split or cracked at the hex
-   Bent drive end after being levered on

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Use the spanner square on the plug and never lever sideways, since a cocked plug can crack its insulator or damage the thread in the head
-   Check the plug retainer still holds a plug before working on a deep recess, as a dropped plug is awkward to recover
