yup!

I always thought thwacking the end of the spark plug was a bit crude.....

My tool is different from the catalog cut, it has a U shaped seat for the plug instead of a hole...hmmm (It is the same model # tho)
Thanks for the catalog pic, Don't have a Herbrand catalog : (

[What year was that, 60's?]
