Aside to ambush27. You’re right, but these things really aren’t big enough. Once I use them a few times, I learned the drill.

when there isn’t a rubber insert, either because you are using a 6-point deep socket or because its worn out you can insert some paper to grip the plug.

Got a set of these when they first came out and they work as advertised. Between the master cylinder and steering box, it’s about the only way I can get to the #7 plug on my small block Chevy. One thing, there’s no rubber insert like a regular plug socket, so if you’re not careful, this thing will fall off.

Looks like they haven’t updated their site in over a year going by the $9.95 Mechanix glove offer that expired in Jan 2007.

I might have been able to use one of those on my V8 Chevy Monza. I sold that car with one of the original spark plugs still in it. That was the spark plug I couldn’t get to because the engine was too close to the steering column.
