Spark Plug Gapper

I've always wanted an honest-to-goodness spark plug gapper.  The manuals tell you not to use the flat blade feeler gauges, but rather use the correct instrument to gap our plugs.  That's why I had to ask a friend a couple of years back to buy me a couple of the darn gappers from Pep Boys in the US.  That's because these things are nowhere to be found in the Philippines.

To my great surprise, I finally found them on sale in True Value Rockwell last week.  However, I think that the gapper that is being sold is for small gap plugs, not for the large gap thingeys for far-advanced electronic engines.  But hey, it's a good start.

I'd post a picture of a similar product from Sears just so that you guys know what I'm talking about, but I don't know how to do that.  So, I'll just give the url instead:  http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?vertical=TOOL&pid=00940816000&bidsite=&BV_SessionID=@@@@1594123820.1093433921@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccigadcmghfkedecehgcemgdffmdfko.0

And why am I taking so much effort in doing this?  Well, AI has been so good to me, as I have learned a lot from it, that to show my appreciation, I thought I'd share with everybody else this small discovery of mine.

What's more, it's a steal for PhP 35.00 only.  Yes you read right.  That's thirty-five pesoses only.  You guys may be interested.

When you enter TV Rockwell, turn to the left side....where the hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, etc.) are found.  The gapper is found at the far end of one of the shelves.  As in dulo ng shelf....if there's such a thing as polarity of each of those shelves, the gappers are hanging by one of the poles, or one of the ends; not on the broad side of the shelf.  (You could ask one of the TV people there, but I doubt if they'll understand what you're looking for. ::))
