🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, grab these essentials to make the job smooth and safe:
• Safety First: Always wear safety glasses. You don't want any bits of grime or old spark plug grit getting in your eyes.
• Glove Up: A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected from grease and chemicals.
• Spark Plug Socket: Ensure you have one that fits your plugs to avoid damaging the new plugs when tightening.
• Torque Wrench: Essential for tightening the new plugs to the correct torque. Over or under tightening can cause issues.
• Gap Tool: For making sure the spark plugs are gapped correctly for your engine.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
