Dewalt calls them "no spin" shanks.

IMO, I'd send the spark tester back and reload your wallet with that money. The few I've used only work about 1/2 the time and the timing light is going to perform the same job, plus more. |
I like those bits indeed!
I was hoping for better feedback on the spark plug tester
I actually bought 2 of them. One is an inline job that lights up and the other is one more of a spark plug with a clamp on it that you ground out and look for the arc at the end of the plug. Both where cheap enough and got rather good reviews so I thought I would test them out. Some of the engines I plan to work on are pull start so it's hard to start them and keep a close eye on the plug to see spark. I'll report back how they work out and let ya know if I just tossed my money down the drain. Looking forward to trying out the timing light
I've read all good things about having the points setup correctly so I thought this would help. It might sound kind of lame but it's always been a goal/passion of mine to learn how to work on small engines. I'm not really interested in working on cars but small engines and building stuff with them was something I just never got to do when I was a kid. So now that I'm an old fart and have a few bucks I want to have some time and get the tools I need to really enjoy this hobby and make it a little easier on me along the way. Hence this thread I started HAHAHA!
