New Spark Plug Socket

Hi All,
I had bought some new plugs a few weeks ago, but not gotten around to installing them, until today. The two on the left went on without a problem, then I turned my attention to the right side. Put on the POS factory wrench and gave it a turn and it just spun around the plug. Nice little indentions in the middle of each of the flats now. I've got 3 other spark plug sockets, but none of them fit these plugs. So I call my local bike parts shop and they have a real spark plug socket in stock, but tell me it's not going to be cheap. Well, it's either pay the piper, or leave the same plugs in my bike forever, so off I go. Now, $31.14 later I'm the proud owner of a Motion Pro 18mm deep spark plug socket. It only hurts for a little while, I guess. It sure did a sweet job of getting those other two plugs out.

Have a nice Memorial Day weekend, all. It's beautiful weather here and I'm getting a lot of riding in.
