Title: V Ray Spark plug wrench
Post by: stanley62 on September 16, 2018, 06:26:24 PM: I had never seen one of these. I found one at a local swap meet and then saw that Stan had included it in the current MVWC newsletter. Just weird how that happens...

Have two of these old Tungsten wrenches. One is 7/8" by 1". The other is 1" by 1 1/8".
Anyone know if there are any other sizes?

I was in the garage measuring when you posted.
I have both, (the 1" on the smaller one appears to be slightly smaller. Need to check some actual spark plugs.)
I have not seen any other sizes, nor any other size of the V-RAY.

There are a couple of BG aircraft plug wrenches around, and a recent stamped CHAMPION seen.

Anyone know of any other spark plug wrenches made by/for a spark plug company?

See lots of wrenches marked by application, like auto or motorcycle, but few marked with plug manufacturers.
